“I’m so thankful that I found Lynn & her husband to care for my little doggie while I was out of town. I greatly appreciate that they took the time to meet with me and Latte ahead of his stay. Lynn introduced her sweet doggies, Nellie & Bentley, to him and then spent about an hour letting the pups mingle as we talked about Latte. Lynn was very responsive to communication, she was flexible and kept me updated daily with texts & pictures of Latte. He was treated like a member of their family… well loved & cared for. I will definitely be leaving Latte with Lynn in the future!”

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.

About: I have always taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. I have currently two dogs of my own and in the past have had cats guinea pigs, and other animals that have lived long happy healthy lives. I’m very reliable and dependable, and I would love to care for your pets!

I currently have two female dogs, both spayed, very energetic and love to play and would love to give your pup company unfortunately I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I am very good at keeping my attention on the dogs at all times your pets would be very safe and looked after

“I can't say enough about Sheila. She took on my little Lily dog who not only has Heart Disease and Trachea Collapse Disorder, but also has separation anxiety. Yet she and Dave gave Lil the best of care, with the greatest of patience. I could tell Lily felt loved. I will bring Lily back to Sheila, without reservations. Thank you sooo much for caring for my senior doggie.”

Priscilla L.

About: I’ve been a dog lover (and unofficial dog sitter) since I was young and honestly, I like dogs more than most people! 😄 I’ve cared for pups of all kinds of personalities and treat every single one like my own. I’m all about belly rubs, playtime, sticking to routines, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I’ll keep you updated so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in good hands! I live in a home alone, employed full time in the field of mechanics. Appointments are taken on my off days with a completely open schedule to allow full attention to your animal. My home has no pets in it, clean and very open floor plan. My yard is fenced, as well as a screen in porch to offer sunny day lay outs and people watching.

“Tracy was amazing. She was so good with our kitties. She took lots of photos and gave us great peace of mind leaving our kitties under her care! We will 100% be booking with her again.”

Audrey F.

About: I have always had a cat since I was a kid, I have helped catch strays and barn cats and gotten them spayed and neutered. I have raised bottle kittens and helped domesticate some kitties off the street. If you need a drop in for some play time , snuggles, feeding or litter box cleaning I’m happy to help.

“Absolutely amazing as always, stellar job!!”

James D.

About: I am an Ace certified personal trainer. I am a very active person, so I will make sure your pet engages in lots of play time and gets plenty of exercise during their stay. I have a very large fenced in yard which will give your dog lots of space to run and play. I grew up living down the hill from my grandparents farm which included cows, pigs, chickens, lots of barn cats and dogs. I was the kid that was always finding hurt or stray animals and bringing them home to care for. I live in the country and all three of our cats are strays that that my husband and I took in. We also have a dog. I look forward to caring for your pet!

“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.”

Teresa Margaret W.

“Madison was great – very communicative, followed all instructions, and Sunny was in great spirits when I returned. My place looked exactly the same as how I left it. I would definitely hire Madison again!”

Pamela S.

“Leigh's care for our senior cat, Diesel, was truly remarkable! She is an absolute gem! During our vacation, she provided 7 days of outstanding care for our 18-year-old senior cat, Diesel. The level of communication was excellent! Leigh kept us updated multiple times a day about Diesel's well-being. Coming home to a spotless house after a long day of travel was the perfect ending to vacation. She went above and beyond in caring for Diesel and our home and exceeded all expectations. We are deeply grateful to have found Leigh; she's far more than a pet sitter to us—she's a remarkable human who provided the best care possible for Diesel.”

Matt D.

About: What sets me apart is my combination of medical experience and attention to detail. I'm comfortable administering medications including injections and fluids so pets with chronic issues or post-surgery needs are no problem. I also genuinely don't mind (and actually take pride in) deep-cleaning litter boxes, cages, and small animal enclosures. You'll never come home to a lingering smell or a corner I've skipped. Reliable, thorough, and unfazed by the messy parts of pet care.

“Barbara did a great job with our senior cat! She understands the seniors very well. I appreciated her questions and checking in each visit! I’d love to invite her back!”

Bert K.

“Jennifer did a great job caring for our fur babies! She is very responsive and provides lots of pictures so you can see your pets while you’re away. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future!”

“Billie was fantastic! Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She reached out regularly and sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was going well. Additionally, she kept me informed about any packages that arrived. Billie also coordinated seamlessly with the next house and pet sitter, ensuring a smooth transition. The next sitter said the house was clean and my cat was well taken care of. I highly recommend her services!”

Pamela S.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for the past 10 years. Previous neighbors have trusted me with pet sitting and walking their dogs. I work from home so I am easily able to give your pets the care they need at all times. My 11-year-old daughter usually joins me-she’s an amazing helper! She loves all animals and they all love her! Pets & parents must be comfortable with her being part of the care team! I have a spacious, fenced-in yard and work from home, so your pet will receive lots of attention and care! Our family dog, an 11-year-old German Shepherd, sadly passed away in 2024. While we aren’t ready to welcome a new dog into our lives, I truly miss taking care of a pet. That’s why I see pet-sitting as the perfect way to share my love for animals.

“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!”

Beth W.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 11 but I have had my own pets since birth. I have had a Pug, Golden Retriever, German shepherd, Great Dane and some mutts. The cats have mostly been strays we have took in but I have also worked with main coons and Savannah cats. I have yet to meet a breed i didn’t love. I also have worked in several places where I take care of bathing, grooming, and nail trims. I can also give meds as I just recently lost a pup who I was giving seizure medication to. So I am prepared if that does happen with your animals as well. I also have a dog who had anxiety who we gave medication to. I’m A stay at home mom currently who is trying to earn some income to save up for Christmas. I am available anytime day or night. I would prefer to watch at your place, but I do have a Leash they can be hooked to as well as a pretty big crate that most dogs can fit into! I do have 2 small children that they would be around if they did stay with me!

About: Iv been around and taken care of all types and sizes of animals since I was little and always had such a love for them. Im currently looking for some extra work to fill my time until i have full books within my field of business. I also adore all animals and would love to spend my days with them. I have a fur baby at home who I play with and walk all the time, who love to have company over to have someone to play with.

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: Hi! My name is Maria! I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds since I was a young girl. I have previously volunteered for an animal rescue, and have previously worked for a kennel and groomer. Caring for animals is just a part of who I am. I am comfortable working with any size/breed of dog. While I don't have much time on here on Rover, I have been pet sitting for well over 10 years for friends and family. I am a stay at home mom so I am able to provide around the clock care for your pet. I am extremely flexible on scheduling for this reason. Pets in my care will be treated with the same care and treatment that I give my own dog. They will be loved, looked after, and kept safe. I do ask that pets are comfortable sleeping in a crate/kennel at night.

About: I've had pets in my family since I was a kid, and I have taken care of foster animals, family pets and friends pets throughout adulthood. I have taken care of pets who have medication needs and environment needs (scared of thunder and such.) I work for myself, so I am able to work around my work hours accordingly and easily to provide the care that is needed for my clients. My care is adaptive to each pet family's needs and home. I am an observant person and pay attention to the details while caring for pets. I cannot take on daycare or boarding services right now, but I am more than happy to take dogs for walks, care for cats, and pet sit while you're away.

“Best walker I’ve had yet! Actually took my dog to a nice trail instead of just walking around the neighborhood, and sent plenty of pictures that showed she was clearly elated! I can tell she has a true love for dogs :)”

Alyssa C.

About: I love dogs! All dogs... big, small, smelly, playful. I have experience caring for my own dogs as well as other's. Dogs generally love me as well. I learned most of what I know about caring for dogs from The Dog Whisperer. He really knows his stuff! Does your dog need walks and some extra training? I can handle that no problem and really enjoy seeing a dog respond to training and play. I use positive reinforcement while working with dogs. I love walking for fitness and love it even more when I have a pup to join me. While pet sitting, I can also care for plants, etc. I enjoy gardening so if you have a garden and require house/pet sitting, consider me your person! My schedule is very flexible. I currently work gig jobs and freelance, remote accounting projects. If I am house/pet sitting for you I can accommodate whatever schedule your animals usually follow. I will follow whatever rules/instructions are laid out for me. Safety is number 1 and I am sure to keep owners updated on any issues promptly.

“We have used Barbara multiple times. She always communicates well and is extremely nice to our dog. We appreciate having someone so reliable and never have any doubts about the care and attention given to our dog. Would absolutely recommend her.”

Rob S.

About: When I was young I started dog sitting my neighbors, families and friends dog and I’ve love it since then. Dogs are my spirit animals and they deserve the world! I work in a hospital and have a part time job. After 3-4pm I can definitely hangout with your pups. Whether for a walk or go to the park. Provide a balanced and appropriate diet for the pet based on its species, age, and health requirements. Avoid overfeeding. Always ensure access to fresh, clean water for your pet. Regularly check and refill the water bowl to keep your pet hydrated. Engage your pet in regular physical activity suitable for its species. This could include walks, playtime, or other forms of exercise to keep them healthy and active. Depending on the type of pet, grooming needs may vary. Regular grooming such as brushing, bathing, nail trimming, and dental care are essential for their health and well-being. Spend quality time with your pet, provide enrichment activities, and consider socializing them with other animals if appropriate. Maintain a clean living environment for your pet. Regularly clean their living space, wash bedding, and remove waste promptly to prevent odors and maintain hygiene. Make sure home is pet-proofed to prevent accidents or ingestion of harmful substances. Keep dangerous items out of reach and provide a safe space for your pet to rest and play.
