“This couple is amazing with our furry family! We have two corgis full of “personality”. Excellent communicators. With John and Rachel as an option for care of our four legged family, I’ll never use a traditional boarding facility again.”
“Great as always. She watched Clark for 5 days while we were out of town at a wedding. Pictures, walks, sitting in the yard with our dog - everything. Even had to pick him up a couple hours later than originally planned with no issues. Highly recommend!”
“Chloe was awesome with my pup Angus. She provided excellent services and communication throughout the sitting period. I will definitely be using her for future sittings! Thank you Chloe!”
About: I’ve been tasked to take care of all kinds of animals for as long as I can remember. All of my family and friends have been able to rely on me to host or sit their pet from farm animals to house pets when need be. I work night shifts and free on the weekends so I’m always able to take care of pets. And I have a dog of my own so pet care is a every day thing for me. I have a fenced in backyard, doggy door and a lead attachment for dogs I host and my own dog to come and go as they please along with plenty of space to play in either the garage or one of 3 bedrooms.
“Jacqueline was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my fur baby, was super flexible, and was in constant communication with me about how he was doing! 100% recommend her to anyone who needs a good dog sitter!”
“Our Luna absolutely loved her time here! It was my first experience using this service and choosing yulian was the best decision for our pup! We got great updates and photos and felt like it was a home away from home for our sweet girl!”
About: •LICENSED, INSURED AND BONDED PROFESSIONAL PET SITTER• If you are new to Rover, I encourage you to use my promo code KAYLAM49673 when booking with me to get $20 off your first service! I've always had dogs in my family growing up, which lead me to finding my passion in caring for animals. I have experience in giving pups medication, grooming, identifying illnesses, and body language thanks to my last job at a doggy daycare! I've been around and cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes! I understand how important your furry family members are and will make sure they have everything they need (and make sure they have tons of fun of course!) I have experience with cats as well, having two of my own and taking care of our local strays. :) I also have experience in taking care of chickens, ducks and fish and am comfortable with any other pets you may have! I have respect and compassion for all animals and would love to provide them with the love and care they deserve. I am currently pursuing Rover full time so I have lots of flexibility. Let me know what your schedule is and I can be available whenever you need me! I understand the meaning of integrity and integrate it fully into my services. I will treat your home and your animals as if they were my own. The same goes for any pets boarding with me as they’ll be part of our family while they’re in my home. I can give them a safe environment where they feel loved and secure.
“My dog needed special care for a medical condition. Not only did Kathleen make sure he got his medications but she gave him lots of love, sent me daily pictures and updates, and introduced him to doggie friends that he loved. I would definitely have Kathleen care for my pet again.”
“Another great boarding experience with Nicole and her family. My two dogs just love staying with her. She makes me feel so comfortable because I know my dogs are in great care while I am away.”
“Alaniz just watched our Buster for a week and I just can’t speak highly enough of her. Buster is an anxious guy and we have just never found a place that he felt safe until now. We are so grateful to her and her gentle care of our buddy.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a lifelong dog owner and elementary school teacher, I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to every pet’s unique needs. I have a large fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run and play, as well as a friendly black Lab who loves having canine visitors. He’s playful and social but also respectful of dogs who prefer a quieter, more relaxed environment. Whether your dog needs exercise, cuddles, medication, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently off for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs daycare, overnight boarding, walks, or drop-in visits, I’ll make sure they get lots of playtime, exercise, cuddles, and companionship. I can accommodate most schedules and will do my best to meet your pet’s routine. Safety, Trust & Environment My home is a safe, welcoming place for dogs to relax and have fun. I have a fully fenced yard where they can run and play under supervision, and my friendly black Lab enjoys having visitors but is gentle with dogs who prefer their own space. Whether your pet is energetic or more laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I maintain a clean, secure environment, closely supervise outdoor time, and follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions provided by owners. My goal is to make your dog feel right at home while giving you peace of mind.
“Ashley was able to fit me in last minute, which I appreciated so much. She made sure my furbabe felt comfortable and welcome. She also sent me pictures of her while I was away. Came home to a happy and tired pup! I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Wonderful communication! She was super flexible with pick up and drop off times. Her dogs got along so well with our pup! He truly seems like he had the best time playing all weekend long! Cecelia sent us picture and video updates and responded super quickly anytime we wanted to check up on him. I HIGHLY recommend her and felt super comfortable leaving our puppy dog with her!”
“Daine and Ashley are a blessing for me and my dog beauty, I can never say enough about how grateful I am to have found them…Anyone looking for an Awesome family oriented dog loving home, this is definitely the place. 😇🙏❤️”
“Kylie was a true lifesaver when I couldn’t figure out who to watch over Peaches last minute. She was so understanding and communicative! She kept me updated on how Peaches was. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Second time Grant looked after my dog Rocket for two nights at Grant's place. Grant always provided timely updates and I was at ease that my dog was being well looked after and taken care of. My dog Rocket is quite anxious and can be a lot to handle at times and Grant is always my first call when I need a sitter! Thanks Grant, you are the best!!!”
About: I treat every dog like family—not just a job. I learn their quirks, their favorite toys, and what makes their tail wag. I build trust with both dogs and their humans, creating a calm, loving environment that feels like home. I will ALWAYS send updated pictures a videos! Even with a full-time job, pet care is a priority I plan around, not squeeze in. I only accept clients I can fully commit to—meaning your pet gets the time, energy, and attention they deserve. I offer early morning, evening, and weekend care, and I’m highly organized to keep everything running smoothly. Pet care isn’t a side hustle for me—it’s a passion I build into my daily life. When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and structure. I stick closely to their home routines—feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime habits—so they feel secure and comfortable. I make sure they get mental stimulation, physical activity, and lots of love throughout the day. In-home care means your pet stays in their familiar space, which helps reduce stress. I keep everything consistent with your instructions—from feeding and potty breaks to walks, play, and downtime. I respect your home like it’s my own and always send updates, photos, and quick check-ins to keep you at ease while you’re away.

About: I've had animals all my life. I worked in a vets office for 5 years and ran my own petsitting business. I am able to care for animals with medical needs. I managed a home for the developmentally delayed for 4 years and have the patience to serve all your needs. Currently I have not been working and can do pet care 100% to others schedules to create my own. I am ready to fill the needs of whoever requires it. I have handled alarms system codes, door codes, garage codes, keys to many houses trusted by the owners. I am thorough in learning about your animals and your preferences for their care. I only want the best for them so you can feel secure while you are away.
About: I was raised with an active Gordon setter. He solidified my love for animals. My responsibilities were to feed, water, and play with him daily (Playing was our daily bonding activity). Over the years I've been hired by multiple families to watch cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and temperaments. Hired experience: Responsibilities include feeding at designated times and amounts, ensuring there is always water, caring for bathroom needs (scooping for cats and walks for dogs), playtime and belly rub time. I have always connected well with animals and always try to understand what they need/want. I have a flexible schedule but am available around mid day to afternoon. I am open to discuss the timing needs for your fur babies. My pets have a daily routine of being fed at specific times and in specific amounts. The two cats are pretty inactive during the day, opting to sleep through it. However, after dinner my wife and I walk the cats (one on leash, other in stroller) for about 30 minutes. They receive a dental treat afterwards and make sure they get lots of love.
About: I will ensure your pet is safe at all times. I have 3 dogs myself and they are all different sizes. I play with them, walk them, they get fresh food and water twice daily. I make sure in this heat that they stay cool. They are never locked outside or tied up. My smallest little girl always sleeps with me. I've never hurt an animal. I've passefmy love for pets onto my kids. One daughter is studying to be a vet. I'll treat yours as my own. I do anything asked of me. If they need meds or baths I can do that as well. Nail trimming I can do if they aren't scared of the clippers. My baby girl is but I still do it.
About: Hello fellow cat lovers, First let’s be real, when you have a cat, you don’t own them, you are their servant. My four cats remind me everyday. As soon as 5:30 am hits, they all let me know it’s feeding time. As soon as I walk through the door. I have 4 seconds to drop my stuff and feed them, or I will be yelled at. I can’t afford another negative yelp review for taking more than 4 seconds. But jokes aside I care deeply about the well being of my cats. I’m checking teeth, their coats, paw pads, check for any changes in poops, or behavior. My cats eat a well balanced diet and have different dietary needs. I also take care of one community cat. She comes and sleeps on my back deck, brings me dead mice (my favorite) and always wants to be pet. That is my everyday with cats and I love every minute of it. I would love to get to know your cats and gain their trust!

“Ashley was wonderful with my cats! Even with one of them hiding the whole time, she tried her best to find him and still give him the care he needed. I will 100% recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter and will be using her services again when I need them!”

About: About Me: Growing up on a farm, I’ve nurtured a lifelong passion for animal care, tending to dogs, cattle, horses, and goats. Instilled with a deep sense of responsibility from a young age, I learned that our animals’ needs come first—feeding and watering them was my dawn ritual. Professional Background: My 18-year tenure as a Paramedic wasn’t just about helping people; it often involved interacting with pets, from the friendly to the feisty. This has equipped me with the skills to handle any situation calmly and ensure a positive outcome. Additionally, my training in K9 first aid as a tactical medic has honed my ability to care for police service dogs in critical situations. My Approach: I bring a calm and collected presence that resonates well with animals, making it easy to bond with new furry friends. I understand the anxiety of leaving pets behind, so I’m here to alleviate your stress. With professionalism and respect, I’ll ensure your pets feel loved and secure in your absence. Personal Touch: At home, I’m a proud pet parent to Archie and Luna, two spirited dogs who love their playtime and are experts at keeping our backyard squirrel-free. They’ve taught me the joy of active companionship and the comfort of quiet snuggles. Thank you for considering me to care for your beloved pets. I’m excited about the opportunity to meet your furry family members and provide them with the same love and attention I give my own. Flexibility for Your Furry Family : My schedule is incredibly flexible, and my primary goal is to ensure quality time for your beloved pets! 🐾❤️ Additionally, I am committed to keeping my availability up-to-date to prevent any scheduling errors. You can rely on me to be punctual and attentive to your pet’s needs. 🕒🐶 Tailored Care for Your Furry Family : As a dedicated pet caregiver, I understand that every furry friend has unique needs. Whether your dog prefers leisurely lounge time or craves energetic walks and ball games, I tailor my care to match their individual requirements. But it doesn’t stop there—I’m also vigilant about weather conditions. I know when it’s too hot or cold for your dog’s comfort, and I adjust activities accordingly to ensure their safety. And speaking of safety, my biggest pet peeve is water. Clean, fresh hydration is essential for your beloved companions, and I make sure they have access to it at all times. Of course, let’s not overlook the importance of a well-balanced meal! 🐾🌟

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I love dogs so much and I enjoy the different personalities they have. I am familiar with training dogs as well. They tend to trust me. I currently have a cat and she is so precious. So cats are also welcome as well. My schedule is pretty open as of rn I can take care of your pets on anyday of the week. I do DJ on late Saturday nights so that is the only day that I would not be available but besides that I can be there for your loved one! I try to feed my pets at specific times of the day. And I take the dogs out for a walk usually after everytime they eat or after a long nap. For cats we have a patio so if they like going outside they can stay on the patio while I am watching them.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I was a kid! I currently have three dogs of my very own who I love more than anything. I’ve recently gained experience taking care of chickens and ducks as well! I can take care of pretty much any animal as long as I am comfortable doing so and shown what to do beforehand 😊 My schedule is currently very flexible. I’m good with set schedules as long as they fit my own, or just sporadic check ups! I am currently a stay at home mom during the day and have a part time job 3 nights a week. Please note that during the week I may bring my kids with me for walks or drop ins, but they will be in a car seat/stroller the entire time. 😊 I’ve recently decided to start doggy day care in my home! This will be up to my own discretion since I have two younger children in the home and three dogs as well, so I want to make sure all pets are a good fit!
“Dash has been going to Kathleen for a week now & he loves her! She is very responsive, and very sweet. She sends me pics throughout the day, and I love that she takes him out for walks and play time. We will continue to book with her 😊”
About: I recently retired from the Navy and now live with my wife on 9 peaceful acres, just about a mile and a half off Highway 50 near Powell Gardens. It’s just the two of us here—no kids, no pets at the moment, aside from two laid-back turtles. We’ve had dogs in the past and loved every minute, but after moving frequently, we decided to hold off for now. That said, we’d love to show care and attention to your dog as if they were our own. Since I’m fully retired, I’m home throughout the day. I usually go for a daily walk for exercise, which works perfectly if your pup enjoys a good stroll. Our ranch-style home has pet-friendly vinyl floors and tons of open space to explore. While we don’t have a fenced yard, there’s plenty of room to roam—just let me know if your dog needs to stay on a leash and I’ll make sure to accommodate that. A Quick Note About Your Dog Please feel free to share any special needs, preferences, or routines your dog might have. And of course, if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m genuinely excited to meet your doggo! I am fully retired so I can be home all day. Typically, I exercise with a walk so that would work with the dog as well. I have a large ranch style home with pet friendly vinyl floors. In plenty of land for dogs to run around I do not have a fenced in area so if your dog needs to be on a leash that is fine I just need to know.
About: I’m Yulian but also known as Julie! I’ve always loved dogs, especially when I was young. I was like any typical kid, wishing and hoping my parents would give me a dog. I would dog sit a lot of family friends pets and always felt drawn to them. If I’m at work or house sitting, my husband is home so don’t worry your pets will never be on their own. I live in an a 4-plex house, and have 1 dog but she’s extremely lovable and loves meeting new paw friends! I do also take her on walks and runs in the mornings/sometimes evenings, I would be more than happy to bring your dog along. I treat others pets like if they were my own. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet(s) somewhere you’re not around, but I’ll make sure to make them feel loved. As mentioned I’m a fairly active person, so I would be willing to take your pet on a walk or even the dog park. As well If needed I can administer medication and take them a bath!
“Aside from being great with our dogs, I have to compliment Grant on his communication. He responded to all of my messages promptly and professionally and kept me in the loop during my 2 dogs stay. It really helped put me at ease about their first stay. My dogs came home calm and tired which tells me they had a great fun time with him. Thanks, Grant!”
“My babies absolutely love going to doggy daycare at Sharon and Mike's! They always come home exhausted and happy. If you have small dogs, do yourself (and your pocketbook) a favor and use Sharon for daycare and boarding instead of an expensive pet resort or vet!”
“Jaqueline was very nice and welcoming to us. We had no worries at all leaving Pepsi at her home. She also sent cute pictures for us that we greatly appreciated. We would definitely use her again.”

About: I was raised with an active Gordon setter. He solidified my love for animals. My responsibilities were to feed, water, and play with him daily (Playing was our daily bonding activity). Over the years I've been hired by multiple families to watch cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and temperaments. Hired experience: Responsibilities include feeding at designated times and amounts, ensuring there is always water, caring for bathroom needs (scooping for cats and walks for dogs), playtime and belly rub time. I have always connected well with animals and always try to understand what they need/want. I have a flexible schedule but am available around mid day to afternoon. I am open to discuss the timing needs for your fur babies. My pets have a daily routine of being fed at specific times and in specific amounts. The two cats are pretty inactive during the day, opting to sleep through it. However, after dinner my wife and I walk the cats (one on leash, other in stroller) for about 30 minutes. They receive a dental treat afterwards and make sure they get lots of love.
About: I will ensure your pet is safe at all times. I have 3 dogs myself and they are all different sizes. I play with them, walk them, they get fresh food and water twice daily. I make sure in this heat that they stay cool. They are never locked outside or tied up. My smallest little girl always sleeps with me. I've never hurt an animal. I've passefmy love for pets onto my kids. One daughter is studying to be a vet. I'll treat yours as my own. I do anything asked of me. If they need meds or baths I can do that as well. Nail trimming I can do if they aren't scared of the clippers. My baby girl is but I still do it.

Currently I have not been working and can do pet care 100% to others schedules to create my own. I am ready to fill the needs of whoever requires it. I have handled alarms system codes, door codes, garage codes, keys to many houses trusted by the owners. I am thorough in learning about your animals and your preferences for their care. I only want the best for them so you can feel secure while you are away.

“Ashley is great! Our dog, Arlo, is a 75lb, 8 month old puppy and while he is the goofiest, most loving guy...he can also be a pain in the butt sometimes. Ashley handled Arlo (and our home) with great care. She is reliable and has great communication. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and loving dog walker!”

About: About Me: Growing up on a farm, I’ve nurtured a lifelong passion for animal care, tending to dogs, cattle, horses, and goats. Instilled with a deep sense of responsibility from a young age, I learned that our animals’ needs come first—feeding and watering them was my dawn ritual. Professional Background: My 18-year tenure as a Paramedic wasn’t just about helping people; it often involved interacting with pets, from the friendly to the feisty. This has equipped me with the skills to handle any situation calmly and ensure a positive outcome. Additionally, my training in K9 first aid as a tactical medic has honed my ability to care for police service dogs in critical situations. My Approach: I bring a calm and collected presence that resonates well with animals, making it easy to bond with new furry friends. I understand the anxiety of leaving pets behind, so I’m here to alleviate your stress. With professionalism and respect, I’ll ensure your pets feel loved and secure in your absence. Personal Touch: At home, I’m a proud pet parent to Archie and Luna, two spirited dogs who love their playtime and are experts at keeping our backyard squirrel-free. They’ve taught me the joy of active companionship and the comfort of quiet snuggles. Thank you for considering me to care for your beloved pets. I’m excited about the opportunity to meet your furry family members and provide them with the same love and attention I give my own. Flexibility for Your Furry Family : My schedule is incredibly flexible, and my primary goal is to ensure quality time for your beloved pets! 🐾❤️ Additionally, I am committed to keeping my availability up-to-date to prevent any scheduling errors. You can rely on me to be punctual and attentive to your pet’s needs. 🕒🐶 Tailored Care for Your Furry Family : As a dedicated pet caregiver, I understand that every furry friend has unique needs. Whether your dog prefers leisurely lounge time or craves energetic walks and ball games, I tailor my care to match their individual requirements. But it doesn’t stop there—I’m also vigilant about weather conditions. I know when it’s too hot or cold for your dog’s comfort, and I adjust activities accordingly to ensure their safety. And speaking of safety, my biggest pet peeve is water. Clean, fresh hydration is essential for your beloved companions, and I make sure they have access to it at all times. Of course, let’s not overlook the importance of a well-balanced meal! 🐾🌟
About: I have a genuine love for animals and take great pride in providing reliable, caring pet-sitting services. Having grown up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from household pets to livestock. This background has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I attend school online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to travel for pet-sitting jobs and even stay overnight when needed, as long as there’s Wi-Fi so I can keep up with my classes. Since I’m currently applying for more jobs, my availability is open and adaptable, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets whenever I’m needed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also take time to clean up after them, whether that’s refreshing litter boxes, wiping paws, or tidying up their spaces. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure the home stays neat and the pets get extra attention and companionship. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping the owner’s home just as they left it.
About: I grew up with two dogs and a cat took care of them a lot also, my grandma‘s dog which was a smaller dog. Fast forward I bought two kitties. They’re almost one now and there perfectly healthy and adorable. I’m available Monday thru Friday after 11am anytime after that I’m available to take care or walk your pet in the week. Hope this helps I feed them when they need to be fed and I play with them and pet them and make them feel welcomed . I also give them treats if there good (animal treats ofc)
About: I’ve been around dogs for the past 6 years and absolutely love spending time with them. I’m patient, friendly, and always do my best to make sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. I understand what dogs need, whether it’s playtime, a good walk, or just some quiet company. Every pup is different, and I make sure to treat each one with the attention and love they deserve. Taking care of animals is just part of my everyday life. I’ve got a handful of dogs at home, and they’re all very different, some full of energy, some more laid-back. My day usually starts and ends with walks, feeding, and playtime, and in between I’m checking in on how everyone’s doing. I’m used to balancing different routines and personalities, so giving each pet what they need just comes naturally. My older dog needs a little extra help, so I take time to help with potty breaks and sometimes hand-feed when needed. I make sure he’s comfortable and not rushed. My younger dogs are more active, so we go on walks, play outside, and spend time burning off that energy. I try to keep things balanced—making sure everyone gets the attention, care, and patience they need. Each of my dogs is different, and I’ve learned to adjust to what makes them happiest and most comfortable.

“This couple is amazing with our furry family! We have two corgis full of “personality”. Excellent communicators. With John and Rachel as an option for care of our four legged family, I’ll never use a traditional boarding facility again.”
“Great as always. She watched Clark for 5 days while we were out of town at a wedding. Pictures, walks, sitting in the yard with our dog - everything. Even had to pick him up a couple hours later than originally planned with no issues. Highly recommend!”
“Chloe was awesome with my pup Angus. She provided excellent services and communication throughout the sitting period. I will definitely be using her for future sittings! Thank you Chloe!”

All of my family and friends have been able to rely on me to host or sit their pet from farm animals to house pets when need be.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a lifelong dog owner and elementary school teacher, I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to every pet’s unique needs.

“Second time Grant looked after my dog Rocket for two nights at Grant's place. Grant always provided timely updates and I was at ease that my dog was being well looked after and taken care of. My dog Rocket is quite anxious and can be a lot to handle at times and Grant is always my first call when I need a sitter! Thanks Grant, you are the best!!!”

I build trust with both dogs and their humans, creating a calm, loving environment that feels like home. I will ALWAYS send updated pictures a videos!

When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and structure. I stick closely to their home routines—feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime habits—so they feel secure and comfortable. I make sure they get mental stimulation, physical activity, and lots of love throughout the day. In-home care means your pet stays in their familiar space, which helps reduce stress. I keep everything consistent with your instructions—from feeding and potty breaks to walks, play, and downtime. I respect your home like it’s my own and always send updates, photos, and quick check-ins to keep you at ease while you’re away.
