Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ethlyn
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ethlyn
“I wish I could give 11 stars. Leanne replied quickly to all of my questions and concerns. One of our pups is older and requires some extra love and attention, and I can tell it was provided (and then some). I highly recommend, and we'll be using in the future.”
“Mara was great with watching our dog Jax and was even able to take him over the holiday vacation for us. She was communicative, nice and accommodating. Jax had a great time and was well taken care of while we were away!”
“Wonderful experience. They treated my babies like one of their own. They sent a bunch of pictures and provided updates regularly. I had no worries about my pups care, I knew they were in good hands. I would definitely book with them again.”
“I cannot express how glad I am that I found Tara! She is so sweet, easy to get along with, accommodating, and prompt with communication. She did an excellent job with sending me updates and pictures on how the stay was going without me having to ask. This alone put me at ease knowing my girls were in a safe, attentive environment. My pups had an absolute blast with Tara and wore themselves out playing in the backyard, which was the goal! I will one thousand percent be booking with Tara again!!”
“Katie was the absolute best sitter for our new puppy! She communicated well with us before the week she watched her and answered all my questions. While on vacation she calmed all my fears by sending us updates with pictures. Our girl was super nervous at first but Katie recognized how to make her feel comfortable. By the end of her stay, she was running around with the others and playing! It was such a perfect match! Highly recommend!”
“Lydia was OUTSTANDING! She treated our kitties 😸 Lilo and Finny as her own. Great to work with. I would not hesitate to book her. An amazing and caring person. Thank you for the love you showed our pets.”
“James always loves his stays with Debbie! He’s always so excited when we get there. Debbie sends pictures and having my pup feel safe and happy make my trips a bit easier.”
“Rayna and Zach are awesome! They took care of Reba on a holiday weekend and accepted an extra night last minute when plans changed. My pup was so happy and relaxed when she got home from playing with their dogs all weekend! I’ll definitely book them again!”
“Melanie does an exceptional job taking care of our dogs; I never have to worry about them while we’re away. They get plenty of exercise and attention. We love the pictures and messages she sends us.”
“My dogs absolutely love her and Snicker. She has the perfect yard for them to roam around with no tick or flea. Teresa watched them like a hawk making sure they don't eat anything in the yard they're not supposed to. She gives us update throughout the boarding time. She will be my default whenever we need to board our dogs going out of town.”
“Cameron took excellent care of my pup while I was away! He is a great caregiver and I’d definitely allow my dog to stay with him again! He also took amazing photos of my dog which was a plus!”
“Alicia was an amazing sitter. She sent a ton of updates and pictures/videos while caring for my pup. She took him on several walks, which I'm sure he was very happy about!!”
“Amie took great care of our baby while we were gone! We appreciated the daily photos, he definitely had the time of his life! And when our travel plans needed to be altered slightly, Amie was very easy to work with on rescheduling a dropoff time. We will be a repeat customer!!”
“Bryan was great! Very responsive to communication, flexible, and sent photos of Fritz while we were away. This was my first time using Rover and Bryan was so understanding of my concerns with leaving Fritz, who is a senior dog. He took the time to meet with me and Fritz beforehand which I greatly appreciated. Fritz was well taken care of and loved. I will definitely use Bryan in the future!”
“We can't ask for a better family to care for our dogs. They treat them like their own with so much love, attention, and genuine care. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our babies were not only safe, but truly happy and comfortable!”
“Kristen went above and beyond watching our dog Shaq while we traveled. She kept us up to date on how he was doing which was great. Highly recommended, we will work with her again next time we leave town!”
“Our Pup loved his time with Dawn! She was very proficient in keeping us up to date with photos. And she was also very flexible on timing for pick up and drop off! Thank you Dawn!”
“We had a fantastic experience! Yingfei took wonderful care of our Frenchie for 11 days, including giving her daily allergy medication and keeping us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and well loved. We would absolutely book with Yingfei again and highly recommend her!”
“Kelly took wonderful care of my dog, Jeze, and I couldn’t be more grateful! Jeze can be a bit particular about eating but Kelly went above and beyond and hand fed her. Kelly was patient, attentive, and clearly experienced with animals. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious that Jeze was happy and comfortable. I had total peace of mind while I was away, and I would absolutely trust Kelly again. Highly recommend!”

Cat caregivers near you - Ethlyn
About: I have worked with cats of all size shapes and temperaments! From your kittys that just want all the love to those who just need me to fill their bowls I’d love to take care of them while you’re away!
About: I have plenty of experience caring for cats and understand that each cat has their own unique personality, preferences, and routines. At home, I have three cats of my own Ollie, Chloe, and Winnie who have taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to the little details that make each cat feel comfortable and loved. I understand that cats thrive when they feel safe and their normal routines are maintained. Whether it’s keeping litter boxes clean, providing fresh food and water, giving medication if needed, offering playtime and enrichment, or simply spending time with them on their terms, I will provide thoughtful and reliable care. I know many cats can be particular about their environment and their people, so I will respect their space while building trust at their own pace. My goal is to make sure your cat feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away, while keeping you updated so you have peace of mind.
“Thank you so very much, Julie for watching over my senior cats! You are truly a blessing in the way you care for them both physically and emotionally. You communicate what is happening with them so considerately. I couldn’t ask for a better person to be their sitter!”
About: For the past ten years I have helped friends and family alike watching over their pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, turtles, hamsters/mice, and birds. Whatever the needs are, I am here to assist and allow you to have peace of mind that your pet is in good hands. I treat all pets like they are my own. I’m available for most all bookings. I am free on the weekends and weekdays. On weekdays I am usually free after 5 and weekends can be made available to suit your needs. Do you have special instructions or pets with special needs? No problem. I pay great attention to detail and can assist in the specific care you may need.
“Raquel is wonderful! She took great care of my cats and communicated with me about visits. She made daily drop in visits for my cats. I came home to healthy, calm, well taken care of cats. She is very conscientious. I would recommend her and definitely ask her to care for my cats again.”
About: I've been the go-to dogsitter for my friends and family for nearly a decade. Over time, they recommended me to others, and dog-sitting became something I'm passionate about. I've cared for dogs of every size from a pomeranian to a great dane. I have experience with puppies & potty training and caring for elderly dogs. It can be hard being away from your pets when away, as I've experienced with my own dog. I'll do everything I can to make you and your pets feel as happy and comfortable as possible. I'm always a text or phone call away and am more than willing to send updates throughout the day. Since I am a remote writer (and homebody), I can stay at your home and make sure your pets are being watched & cared for 24/7. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! As a remote writer who would rather spend all day with dogs than anything, I'm free 24/7 , 7 days a week as long as I have some notice. Whatever your pet walking or feeding schedule may be, I'm happy to adapt to keep your pets routine. I prioritize your pet's safety and comfort while respecting your home. I will follow your specific instructions and keep your home secure. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos to keep you informed and at ease while you’re away.
“Rayna did an excellent job with my 18 year old cat. She was very attentive and I appreciated the detailed messages she left me everyday. Although we did not need her to watch our labs you can tell she loves animals just by her demeanor with them. I highly recommend Rayna for your pets.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a young child. I have walked, watched, boarded, and fed pets for many families. I currently work full-time, but I am home every day by 4pm. I’m completely free in the evenings and weekends, and I am very flexible. I do live in an apartment, so it may be easier for me to take care of your pets in your own home, but that is completely dependent on your needs! :)
“Corensia did a great job taking care of our cat Gloria and the outside birds, as well as picking up the mail and packages every day. I appreciated the great photos and could see that Gloria, who is very shy and timid, allowed Corensia to let her and run her belly! Amazing! Thank you. I would definitely use Corensia again.”
“Jessica P. did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs while we were on vacation!!! Despite being new to ROVER, she has a wealth of experience and truly loves what she does. We appreciated the daily reports Jessica provided through the ROVER app, which included photos and updates. She was very punctual with our pets twice daily feedings, and we felt extremely confident our fur babies were in good hands. My husband and I can't wait to book our next adventure knowing Jessica P. will be there to take care of our pups!!!”
About: As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I’ve personally raised and cared for animals of all ages, from rambunctious puppies and curious kittens to calm and loving senior pets and I’ve seen several of my own pets through their full life spans. This has given me deep experience in providing age-appropriate care, whether that means extra playtime and training for younger pets or gentle attention and medication support for seniors. I’m comfortable and experienced with most dog and cat breeds, from small lap dogs to large, energetic pups, and from independent cats to cuddly companions. I know that every animal has a unique personality and needs, and I take pride in getting to know each one individually to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. One of the biggest advantages I offer is that I work from home full time. That means your pet will never be left alone for long periods and will get consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a calm environment, lots of affection, structured routine, or just someone to hang out with, I’m here to provide that kind of care in a homey, stress-free setting. I genuinely treat every animal I care for like family, and that means tons of love, playtime, cuddles, and comfort while you're away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home full-time, my schedule is very flexible, and I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent care and companionship. I build my day around the pets I’m caring for, whether that means morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or cuddle breaks in between work tasks. I love having animals around; they bring joy, routine, and energy to my day. I have a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time, fresh air, and play. My home is pet-friendly and full of love my kids adore animals and enjoy helping care for them, offering even more companionship for your pet while they’re here. We also have a sweet 3-year-old dog named Storm, who’s been around both dogs and cats her whole life. She’s laid-back, friendly, and used to having furry friends around. Because I don’t have to commute or leave the house for long periods, I’m able to give pets my full attention and adjust to their individual needs, including potty breaks, medications, or just some quiet time if they’re more relaxed. On weekends, I enjoy taking dogs on longer walks or play sessions in the yard or at nearby pet-friendly parks (with your permission, of course). Caring for pets isn’t just something I squeeze into my schedule, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. When pets stay in my home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home. I start by learning about their routine, habits, and preferences so I can maintain consistency with feeding, potty breaks, sleep, and play. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to run in the yard or prefers to nap in a quiet corner, I adjust my care to meet their individual needs. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. Inside, pets have free roam of the main living areas, unless you prefer otherwise. I offer plenty of one-on-one attention, including playtime, snuggles, and positive reinforcement. For pets that need a crate, I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep their routine consistent. I work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I also have a friendly dog named Storm who’s used to being around both dogs and cats. Cleanliness, safety, and affection are my top priorities. I make sure pets always have access to clean water, follow any dietary or medical needs, and create a calm, welcoming environment where they can feel right at home.
“Leanne was very responsive to our request for our two dogs. She arrived right on time and cared for our dogs and sent plenty of pictures. Gave us piece of mind! Thank you again!!”
About: When your pet stays with us, they’ll never be short on love, attention, or care. My fiancée and I work together as a team, so your furry family member always has someone nearby to meet their needs. Our home provides a safe, active, and welcoming environment, complete with a large, fully fenced backyard for plenty of supervised play and exercise. Whether your dog loves to run, cuddle on the couch, stay by your side every minute, or requires medications and specialized care, we’re experienced and comfortable caring for a wide variety of personalities and needs. Our family includes children who genuinely love animals and enjoy giving pets extra affection, playtime, and companionship. We treat every guest like one of our own, providing personalized care, regular updates, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your best friend is in experienced, caring hands. We can’t wait to meet you and your special companion! Caring for pets is a natural part of our everyday life. I have a flexible work schedule, and my fiancée is a stay-at-home mom, which means your pet is rarely left alone and always has someone nearby to provide care, attention, and companionship. Our daily routine revolves around spending time with the pets in our home—whether that’s supervised playtime in our fenced backyard, relaxing indoors, feeding, walks, cuddle time, or maintaining their normal routine. The only times one of us typically steps away are for brief school drop-offs, pick-ups, or our children’s sports activities, and those outings are usually short. Because someone is almost always home, we’re able to provide frequent potty breaks, personalized attention, medication if needed, and plenty of love throughout the day. We strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and like they’re part of our family during their stay. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our highest priorities. Our home features a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and burn off energy under supervision. Inside, pets are treated like family. They’re welcome to relax on the couch, enjoy plenty of cuddles, or simply find a cozy spot to unwind. For dogs who are crate trained or prefer having their own quiet space, we have additional crates available where they can relax with their favorite blanket or toy. With a two-story home, a finished basement, and multiple living areas, we’re able to accommodate a variety of personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog loves being in the middle of the action or needs a calmer environment while they settle in, we can provide a space where they feel safe and comfortable. Every pet is different, and we take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs so we can provide personalized care throughout their stay. Our goal is for your pet to feel like they’re on their own vacation while you enjoy yours with complete peace of mind.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ethlyn
“Tara was great. Our first ever using Rover and we couldn’t be happier! We were able to enjoy the morning and afternoon knowing our precious dog was well taking care of of. Thank you so much Tara!!!”
About: We love any and all animals! We have two fur babies of our own that love to meet new friends. We have cared for animals with special needs, have lots of experience with a variety of needs and personalities, and I have trained a service dog of my own! Your pets will be treated like family! Lots of play time, rubs and loves, treats, and snuggles! There is plenty of sidewalks and trails in our neighborhood for fun walks we frequently take our dogs on. Your pets can tag along with us if you’d like as well! Your babies are guaranteed to have a world of fun while you’re away, and come home tails wagging! We love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, and can't wait to me yours!
“I highly recommend Evan and his partner as a pet sitter! They took wonderful care of my two dogs for a couple of days and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. They were friendly, responsible, and flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. My dogs came home happy and well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of my pups!”
“Cameron has done great with our pup Mabel!! He is very patient and thorough and likes to make sure his clients are comfortable with the care and training he provides. Mabel loves going over there and getting to play with JJ and friends. It’s a bonus to have her get some training in too!”
“Wendy and her husband did a terrific job of watching my little guy Toby. You can tell immediately they are dog lovers and treated Toby just as one of theirs or better! I would definitely recommend Wendy if you're looking for a good dog sitter.”
About: Growing up, I lived on a small farm and have been around animals my whole life. I’ve taken care of other peoples pets as well. I’m currently a teacher, and I will have more availability during the the summer. Right now I’m free on the weekends and also some evenings. I have a fenced in yard as well as my own golden doodle. He loves to have friends over and is very friendly and playful. We also have a Ragdoll kitten that is super sweet and friendly.
“Leo had a wonderful time with Harkiran and we were genuinely surprised that he finished his food. Harkiran shared lot of pictures and is very flexible with pick up times.”
“Kirsten is AMAZING! I met her the day before I dropped Ringo off with her & she was fabulous! She’s so sweet & so so good with Ringo! She sends pictures & updates all through out the day! 10/10 recommend her! You WILL NOT be disappointed! She is absolutely FABULOUS! Ringo LOVES her!❤️❤️”
About: I love big dogs, little dogs, and all in between. I've had two wonderful Golden Retrievers and I'm looking forward to caring for your furbabies. I'm retired and am now looking forward to an enjoyable career as a pet sitter. I'm available 7 days a week, very flexible schedule. My husband and I are retired and are both huge animal lovers. Our Goldens crossed the Rainbow bridge and petsitting is a way to fill the void they left in our lives. We did have a beautiful cat but she passed away from cancer in September 2025. We no longer have any pets in our home. Since I am retired I'll have lots of time to spoil your pets! I'm an early riser so a walk first thing in the morning is fairly routine. Dogs are taken on short walks 3 or 4 times a day and given lots of love and attention. If owners are ok with it they are allowed on furniture and are allowed to sleep on my bed.
About: Hi! I’m Alizée, a stay-at-home mom in St. Peters offering loving, personalized in-home dog care in a calm and safe family setting. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day, which means your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, supervised playtime, and regular potty breaks—no long hours alone. At the very maximum and on special occasions, I may be gone a maximum of 2h a day. I share my home with two sweet senior female Chihuahuas, so caring for dogs is already part of my daily life. Their gentle presence helps create a calm, dog-friendly environment, and I’m very attentive to comfort, routines, and each dog’s individual needs. I also bring a healthcare background to my pet care: I worked for 6 years as a nursing assistant and phlebotomist, which means I’m comfortable and experienced with special care needs, including oral medications, injections/shots, and close monitoring for senior or medically sensitive pets. What your dog will enjoy here: 🐾 A safe fenced yard for outdoor play and potty breaks - no chemicals are used in our yard and we remove dog's waste every other day. 🌳 Daily walks and outings near our local park 🏡 A cozy home environment—never a kennel 📸 Daily photo and video updates ❤️ Plenty of affection, supervision, and personalized care I intentionally keep the number of dogs I host to one at the time (or multiple from the same family) so every guest gets the attention they deserve and feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to care for small to medium dogs, including puppies who aren't fully potty trained yet, adults, and seniors, and I always recommend a meet-and-greet before the first stay to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. Make sure your puppy is comfortable with other small dogs, and children. I’d love to welcome your pup into our home! Feel free to ask me any questions, I love what I do and I want my clients to know their puppy will be safe and properly cared for at my house. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available all day to care for your fur baby. Rarely away more than 2h at the time, your pup will have all the attention and playtime he needs. Our family wakes up early the morning, before 6.30am so if your puppy sleeps in a kennel, he will be out of it at sunrise. If the weather permits, we go for daily walks at the park and/or in the neighborhood. I adapt my days to your animal. So if your puppy needs more or less walk, more or less yard play, or any specific care, this is not a problem. My clients usually come with their feeding instructions and a feeding schedule for their puppy, and I will be applying all the rules they see fit for their animal. I like to keep your animal on the same routine as at your house to allow less stress on them. I have a fenced yard, two elderly female chihuahuas and a child at home. Dogs are never left unattended in the yard, I am always with them. I can easily crate your puppy if needed and I am familiar with the app FI that some of my clients already use. As a healthcare professional for several years, I am comfortable caring for older or sick animals. I provide daily pictures and videos to ease your stress while you are away. We do not use any chemicals in our yard and a very limited amount inside the house. Most of our space is cleaned using steam water. We also allow our own pets on the furnitures and your pup will receive the same privilege if this is in accordance with your own rules. We practice separate feeding time/station and separate sleeping area from our own dogs. Our house is equipped with cameras, inside and outside, allowing me to always have an eye on our animal if needed. During walks I do not allow contact with other dogs, and we stay on paved trails (no wooden areas or swamps) or neighborhood sidewalks. Unless it is an emergency, I do not take the liberty to transport my client's dog in the car. *exception will be made if you ask me to do so*
About: We live on 5 acres, approx 1/3-2/3 acre fenced. I am an experienced, responsible person that is also timely and dependable. Our 2 labs are very spoiled. I’ve had dogs for 20+ years and am experienced with giving pets medications if it is required, as well as feeding them. I also have senior pet experience. Medication & food would need to be provided by pet owners. We can accommodate overnight stays. Pets can be in crates or in beds depending on your/their preference. I treat every pet special. Currently my availability is open. I am an early riser up by 5am daily. I work from home and pets can access a fenced yard. I’m familiar with providing daily meds & special meals/food for pets as well. Our 2 labs are friendly and get along with other dogs. Both our dogs are fixed (spayed & neutered). Our backyard is fenced and secured. Our deck has a ramp (no stairs) so easy access for puppies and senior dogs. When you dog is in our backyard they will be supervised. We allow dogs on our furniture.
About: Former vet office employee turned SAHM looking for pets to love on from my home. Excited to give quality attention to every pet in my care. I’m a stay at home mom to one kiddo so we are home most days/ evenings to play in the yard, go on walks, or just snuggle on the couch. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play with our 3 year old poodle, Frankie. We will do everything we can to make every pet feel safe and comfortable.
“Molly is a great sitter and I 100% recommend her. Her house is very pet friendly and her children are respectful and kind toward the pet guests. Their family's dog is super sweet and got along just fine. The yard is perfect for the dogs to run around and play and sniff. If I could afford it I'd bring Chloe here more often just to get some "dog time".”
About: I’m a devoted dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I raised one of my English Bulldogs through all 13 years of his life and currently care for my active four-year-old bulldog every day. My experience has taught me how important patience, consistency, and personalized care are in helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality so they feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup needs walks, cuddle time, companionship, or playtime, I’ll treat them like my own dog and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 😊 I work remotely from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and consistent care throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy for me to accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and companionship. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and love making pets feel comfortable, active, and cared for while their owners are away Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to make sure they are comfortable at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10, not just my own, but also those friends and family. Every time someone traveled or needed support, I'd take care of their dogs, turtle, fish and most recently cats. A year ago, I decide to offer that same care (in a formal way) to other families, just like others have done for me when I couldn't be home. Knowing someone loving and trustworthy is with your pets makes a difference. That's what I offer: presence, love, and support, so your pets feel safe and seen, even when you can't be there. As a life insurance agent working from home, I'm blessed with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present, for both my family and the pets I care for. I'm a mother of 3 independent and loving daughters (ages 9,13, and 15) who have grown up around pets, and our routine flows in a way that supports my ability to offer calm, focused care, which allow me to be able to dedicate myself with love, presence and intention to the pets whose families trust me. I know what it feels like to open your home and trust someone with your pets (I've been in that side too) it's a big deal. That's why I show up with love, respect, and warm heart. I talk to your pets, care for them gently, and treat them like family, because that's what they are. I'm not just there to feed them or walk them, I'm there to make sure they feel safe, seen, and love until your return.

About: I’ve not gone most of my life without pets in my life and I understand how much they mean to us. I have had plenty of friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets while they are out, so I’ve been able to deal with pups of most ages! I am home from college this summer and am looking for something to fill my free time! I have a very open and flexible schedule during the weekend and weekdays as of right now, so taking care of any pets shouldn’t be a problem as I am only a part time employee! I have a very energetic dog myself so I know what is needed to keep him entertained. I can crate your dog if needed/ when specified. For my dog, I make sure he takes his medications on time and I can do the same for any other pups. I make sure all meals are given out on time and treats given wisely but generously if allowed.
About: Hi! I'm an experienced and dependable pet sitter with over 8 years of pet and house-sitting experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also spent one year working at a boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for multiple pets in a professional setting and learned the importance of maintaining routines, providing enrichment, and recognizing signs that a pet may need extra attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal has unique needs. My 7-year-old Labrador is diabetic, so I'm comfortable administering medications, including oral medications and insulin injections. Whether your pet needs extra medical care, a consistent routine, or just lots of love and attention, I'm happy to provide compassionate, reliable care. During the week, I'm available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight house sitting. My weekends are typically booked, so my availability is primarily Monday through Thursday! My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, while giving you peace of mind through dependable communication and attentive care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently in school and work full-time at a hospital Friday-Sunday. Due to my restrictions on the weekends, my primary availability is during the week. I am available for drop-ins or house sitting during the week and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I also love to send updates throughout the time I spend with your pets, so expect some cute photos!

About: I've had multiple pets all my life and strive to make their day as better as their last. I have a true strong passion for animals. I will be providing dog walking, house sitting and drop ins for dogs and cats. I have lots of experience with both, from taking care of my own pets to watching others in the past. I work, but am very flexible with my hours and open to most days and times. I'm outgoing so would be able to play and be active with pets that need to burn energy and like to have fun. I'm open to taking pets to a park or on trails to go on adventures. I'm very responsible and respectful. I'd treat every furbaby like they were one of my own.

I feel better about myself knowing I've been able to help others and their pets have the best day that's possible for them. I treat my pets like my children.

About: I have taken care of my own animals my whole life and will always take time out of my day to give them those extra belly rubs! I am currently on summer break so I have free time to love on your pets daily! Including walks, brushing, and snuggles all day every day! I love to take long walks especially with my dogs. I always make sure that their water bowls are full and their bellies are fed.
About: I have had pets as long as I can remember, and they’ve always been a big part of my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats and making sure they feel loved and well taken care of. I am currently on summer break from college, so I have a very flexible schedule.

About: I've been the go-to dogsitter for my friends and family for nearly a decade. Over time, they recommended me to others, and dog-sitting became something I'm passionate about. I've cared for dogs of every size from a pomeranian to a great dane. I have experience with puppies & potty training and caring for elderly dogs.

I'm always a text or phone call away and am more than willing to send updates throughout the day. Since I am a remote writer (and homebody), I can stay at your home and make sure your pets are being watched & cared for 24/7. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! As a remote writer who would rather spend all day with dogs than anything, I'm free 24/7 , 7 days a week as long as I have some notice. Whatever your pet walking or feeding schedule may be, I'm happy to adapt to keep your pets routine. I prioritize your pet's safety and comfort while respecting your home. I will follow your specific instructions and keep your home secure. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos to keep you informed and at ease while you’re away.
“Brenna has been wonderful! We've booked her for recurring weekly walks. Her communication is excellent. She arrives on time and is patient with our two boys as they get to know her. We would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve had dogs most of my life and began learning to train them in 2005. I have had over 50 different breeds under my care. I’m very active so dog walks are enjoyable. Trust is important both ways. I won’t accept badly tempered dogs into my home, and can travel to you or meet up to work through training. Let’s chat to fit your needs. I am pretty flexible and sometimes only need one to two days notice unless I am already all booked up. Just reach out and we can see what may work out. I have a fenced yard, large crate, and a well-trained Sheppard/lab mix to help take care of your dog, give them company, and play however you prefer.

Whatever your home has for safety or what you tell me, I will always use.

About: Hi! I am Lillian and I'm an avid animal lover and would love to hang with your pups or cats!! I have had experience with all ages of dogs and cats and would be comfortable with all age groups. I grew up working with horses, dogs, cats and even nursed wild bunnies to health. I've worked with high energy dogs to the older guys and gals who need some extra coaxing. Some of the animals I've taken care of in the past have needed meds or special food routines ect. so that shouldn't be a issue at all.. I love a long walk or run as well if needed. I look forward to working with you and your pups! I am free all day and would love spending my evenings, mid day or afternoons walking or hangin with your pal. I am available early mornings as well as Sunday and Monday! I currently have three cats and a husky who are bonded and beyond besties. We are avid hikers and campers together and they truly love their adventures. My pup and two cats currently on medication so I am familiar with and comfortable helping out in any way.
About: I’ve had my own pet sitting business since I was 12. After starting college, I have taken up pet grooming for the past 2 years. I do handle elder and young pets aswell. A lot of the time we take a trip around the neighborhood or hiking on a nearby trail to burn extra energy. I do currently work full time from home. I do have to go in some day to help out with the kids, but no longer than 4 hours. I have an unfenced yard and a lab myself. The pets are aloud to roam around and lay on furniture if that’s ok with you. They will be provided with 3 full meals a day unless stated otherwise and let out every 2-4 hours.

“I wish I could give 11 stars. Leanne replied quickly to all of my questions and concerns. One of our pups is older and requires some extra love and attention, and I can tell it was provided (and then some). I highly recommend, and we'll be using in the future.”
“Mara was great with watching our dog Jax and was even able to take him over the holiday vacation for us. She was communicative, nice and accommodating. Jax had a great time and was well taken care of while we were away!”
“I cannot express how glad I am that I found Tara! She is so sweet, easy to get along with, accommodating, and prompt with communication. She did an excellent job with sending me updates and pictures on how the stay was going without me having to ask. This alone put me at ease knowing my girls were in a safe, attentive environment. My pups had an absolute blast with Tara and wore themselves out playing in the backyard, which was the goal! I will one thousand percent be booking with Tara again!!”
“Katie was the absolute best sitter for our new puppy! She communicated well with us before the week she watched her and answered all my questions. While on vacation she calmed all my fears by sending us updates with pictures. Our girl was super nervous at first but Katie recognized how to make her feel comfortable. By the end of her stay, she was running around with the others and playing! It was such a perfect match! Highly recommend!”
“Lydia was OUTSTANDING! She treated our kitties 😸 Lilo and Finny as her own. Great to work with. I would not hesitate to book her. An amazing and caring person. Thank you for the love you showed our pets.”

“Kristen went above and beyond watching our dog Shaq while we traveled. She kept us up to date on how he was doing which was great. Highly recommended, we will work with her again next time we leave town!”
“We had a fantastic experience! Yingfei took wonderful care of our Frenchie for 11 days, including giving her daily allergy medication and keeping us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and well loved. We would absolutely book with Yingfei again and highly recommend her!”

“Brandon was great, treated Miles & Molly like his own, also sent daily communication and pictures, which made it much easier to relax and enjoy our vacation in the Dominican. Both dogs came home played out, in fact theyre still sleeping. We'll definitely use him again in 3 months, when we're thinking about traveling again.”
“Leah was great! She took my dog in last minute and took amazing care of him! She made sure she knew exactly how to care for him and was very accommodating on caring for him a little longer than anticipated due to my traveling delays!”
“Brianna and her family were so awesome with our dog, Emmy. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Emmy had lots of play time, pets, and snuggles. She even came home with her own bag of home made doggie treats! I will book Brianna for future stays.”
