Don’t put your sweet animals in a cahe for the weekend-take them to Bonnie ❤️ where they can relax and play just like when they’re at home! She quickly replied when I asked how he was and sent us lots of pictures!! Choose Bonnie for your sitting needs! She goes above and beyond and you will be so pleased!!”
“We're so thankful to have found Ashlyn to board our cat Leo when we had to take a last minute trip out of state. She made herself very available and willing to help when our dates were tentative; when we had to stay longer, she reduced the stress by again being flexible and completely willing to keep him for us... And to even go pickup more food for him, if needed! She was great about sharing photo updates and expressed enjoyment in keeping him, which just made us feel like our boy was being well cared for and loved on. Communication was great throughout. We highly recommend Ashlyn for boarding and would not hesitate to have her keep our pet!”
“Rita is an amazing pet sitter. She kept our little Shih Tzu for an entire week. Finding her on Rover was a blessing to our family. She is kind, patient and responsive. Highly reccomended !”
“This was the first time our baby had ever stayed away from us and Amy made sure we were well informed the whole time. He had the best time and didn’t even seem to miss us when we picked him up. Highly recommend! Will definitely be using her again.”
“Kanieshawa was so awesome! She took such great care of my puppy and sent me daily updates with photos. I am one happy customer and will definitely be returning with my dog. 10 out of 10!!!”

“Ashlyn was so wonderful with our kitties, finding them for pets in their little hiding spots and keeping them company :) we will definitely call her next time we head out of town”
About: I’ve grown up in a pet raising family! I’ve been expected to feed, walk, bathe, and play with all the pets we have owned! I’ve also dealt with doggy diapers for an older dog so no worries if that’s something your pet needs! I’m a stay-at-home mom and online college student so my schedule is super flexible! Bringing home a few extra bucks has never felt easier when I get to play with some sweet pets! I have a fenced in yard with a doggy house and a crate in my garage if needed.

“Mrs. Bonnie is super Great!!! She takes care of my fur baby while I’m away at work. She always keep me updated on everything that Stormi🐾 does during her stay. Thank you Mrs. Bonnie!”
About: I grew up with many cats in my neighborhood and at home. Cats are my favorite pets to have, and I’ve sat for hours reading books on cat care to provide my pets with the best care possible. I been able to rescue kittens as well as rehome others. I’ve had experience with friendly, unfriendly, and feral cats. They each receive the same quality of care with regards to their own individual needs. Cats are, to a degree, my life.
“Alex took good care of our cat Tucker and faithfully came daily over several weeks to feed and love on him. She was responsive to requests and helpful in reporting any developments with Tucker or around the house.”
“Asha is THE BEST sitter I’ve ever had! She truly has a love for animals and treated my babies like her own. They love her! I was able to enjoy my time away without a second thought as to how my pups were being cared for. She sent pics and videos on each of her visits. I HIGHLY recommend her! I wish I could rate her more than 5 stars....she’s a 10 for sure!!!!”
About: Whenever I am around a new cat (or any for that matter), I allow the cat to come to me so that I do not stress them out. Cats, like small dogs, have their space invaded and boundaries crossed quite often. I respect their boundaries and allow them to be animals and not toys.
About: Hi, I’m Morgan! Animals are my passion, and I’ve spent 12+ years caring for pets of all ages, including 2 years as a veterinary assistant. I understand cat behavior, body language, and the special care each cat needs to feel safe, happy, and loved. I provide feeding, litter box care, playtime, brushing, and drop-ins, always following instructions carefully and sending daily picture updates so you can see your cat thriving while you’re away. I’m experienced with shy, anxious, or special-needs cats, and I prioritize creating a calm, stress-free environment tailored to each cat’s personality. I work part-time, so I’m available after my shift on weekdays and full-time on weekends. I’d love the opportunity to provide reliable, loving care that keeps your cat happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away.
“My two sons Azul and champ looked fat and fine and like they didn’t miss us much at all! Terrell was on time every day, and he walked them every day and took pictures every day. We were quite well satisfied and relaxed because Terrell took great care of both my boys. Great job will ask for him again.”
“Shawna is so caring and helpful. I appreciate the time she took getting to know my cats and interacting with them. I will definitely book her again when I need someone to care for them again!”
About: With a lifelong affinity for cats and an inability to own one of my own (curse apartment pet policies), I want nothing more but to ensure that your kitties are well-fed and well-loved! I am passionate about learning about cats as individuals, from their personalities to their interests. Each cat is more than just an antisocial bum that poops in a box. Understanding that every cat is different and how to take care of them as such is key in my approach.

About: I’ve been working with dogs for over 19 years and provide a structured, calm, and safe environment in my home. I have a dedicated dog room with secure kennels, supervised interaction, and clear boundaries. I currently own and train multiple dogs, including a fully trained service animal and another dog I’ve personally raised and developed. This gives me strong experience with behavior, energy management, and different personalities. Dogs in my care are treated like family, but with structure. They can enjoy comfort like furniture once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I do not allow destructive or uncontrolled habits. I’m comfortable with puppies and can reinforce basic training, routine, and good behavior during their stay. I also provide advanced training reinforcement as part of my care. Dogs naturally work on obedience, confidence, impulse control, and daily mental and physical engagement while they’re here. I have experience building service-style task foundations and higher-level behavior, but I do not certify service animals. Every dog benefits from structure in my home, whether they need basic manners or more advanced work. My focus is safety, consistency, and communication so every dog is properly supervised, exercised, and leaves more balanced, responsive, and confident. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not something I fit in on the side. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured interaction, and regular potty breaks, exercise, and mental engagement. My background in disciplined environments has shaped how I run my home—dogs here benefit from routine, clear expectations, and a calm, controlled atmosphere. Each day includes a balance of activity, training reinforcement, and rest so dogs stay healthy, settled, and stress-free. Because I’m available throughout the day, I can adapt to each dog’s needs—whether that’s higher energy, puppy structure, or a more relaxed pace. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, engaged, and well looked after at all times. Safety, trust, and structure are the foundation of how I care for every dog. My home is set up specifically for pet care, with a dedicated dog room, secure kennels, and supervised interaction at all times. I carefully manage introductions and only allow dogs to interact once they are calm, balanced, and a good fit. Dogs in my care follow a structured routine that includes regular potty breaks, exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. I maintain clear boundaries while still allowing comfort—dogs can enjoy furniture and a relaxed environment once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I require dogs to be crate familiar or comfortable with structured downtime. Owners are encouraged to provide a crate or familiar setup for overnight stays, though I have limited kennel space available if needed. I prioritize communication and will keep owners updated with how their dog is doing. My goal is to provide a calm, controlled environment where dogs feel safe, are properly supervised, and leave more balanced and well cared for than when they arrived.
“Sophia was amazing! My dog Parker was well attended too and surprisingly remained calm while I was away. I am so pleased with the Sophia, and will definitely seek her services in the future!!!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is for families to find someone dependable, respectful, and genuinely attentive to their pets’ needs. I’m 18 (turning 19 this summer) and take pride in being responsible, patient, and trustworthy. I will treat your pets like my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and keeping you updated for peace of mind. I play soccer at a college about an hour from my home and live there all throughout the school year but have May to July at home and i'm home all of the time during the week/weekend. With that being said i'll be free mornings, afternoons, and night for drop in visits to stay and play, feed, walk, and just be there with the animals at any time. That being said i'll also be able to be with any in home stays at any point in the day only leaving my home or yours for a few hours at a time for errands or activities. Like I mentioned before im 18 years old turning 19 this summer but I'm an active person myself. My pets at home are treated just as other family members. My dogs comfort and happiness is a priority of mine he always has water and has free access to food just because that's how we do it in my home. I understand the importance of younger dogs and activity needed aswell as older dogs and comfort being their number one priority. My dog is a shitzu who loves his outside time but only for short periods of time and prefers to be with me more than anything. Aside from Benji my family also has a German Shorthaired Pointer, she's older but still just as lively as the day we got her and loves people but also loves exercise and anything outside. Along with my dogs, I've also got three cats two that are independent and one who loves people and attention. Animals are welcome in my bed and on my couch but I also have a dog bed in my living room and one upstairs. Outside of my neighborhood I have a beautiful walking trail that my dogs love, and then about 10 minutes away I've got a dog park that my German Shorthair pointer loves and is often full of plenty other friends for her to exercise with.

I work part time so I have time for pets day or evening. I also like to jog so if your pet likes to run I can incorporate that. Caring for a pet is the practice of unconditional empathy. It’s the ritual of the morning walk, the comfort of a head on your lap after a long day, and the commitment to stay by their side through the energetic "zoomies" of youth and the quiet slowdown of old age.

“Dasher and Chaplin enjoyed there stay with Holly. Our boys stayed with her during Christmas and she was amazing. She sent picture updates and kept us in the know on how they were doing.

“Kelly was so great with my dog Teddy! She sent lots of videos of him having fun with her dogs and playing fetch. My travel plans were upended at the end of his stay but she was able to work with me. Teddy was happy and exhausted by the end of his stay.”
“As a first time Rover user, I was hesitant in trusting our fur baby with strangers. I am so glad I read their reviews and went with my gut instinct! Rue had a great visit and was not in any type of distress after we picked her up - unlike after being boarded. The communication was excellent and we even received daily pictures! I would not hesitate to use them again!”
“Nikki was so great with Zeus. She was clearly comfortable around him and made sure he was happy and well-cared for while we were away. She is a true dog lover! She took great care of Zeus and even sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. I felt so comfortable leaving him in her care, and I know he had a blast. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again! I highly recommend her!”

I wish to provide the best care with love that your pets need and deserve!
“Tiera was beyond throughtful and great with my Cavalier King Charles. They had a great time and she sent me several updates throughout the day with pictures. She even gave her a complimentary bath and nail clip. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”

“WE LOVE MARY PEYTON! It was such a relief to be able to enjoy our vacation knowing our Pinky girl was well taken care of! We got regular updates and pictures of our girl and Mary Peyton even bathed her, trimmed her nails and cleaned her ears! She will definitely be our go-to girl from now on when we go out of town! Thank you, MP! You're the best!”
About: I’ve always had an animal in my life. My step mother used to work as a vet tech, so she taught me all she knows about medication delivery and general veterinary care. I have pet sat for family, neighbors, and friends including house sitting, dog walking, and drop in visits. I’m currently looking for my next role, so I have all the time to dog walk, drop in visits, or whatever you may need! I’m available anytime. I have a very sweet kitty to keep your animal company, as well as plenty of yard to explore. I supervise outside time and make sure play is safe and secure.
