“Anna was the perfect person to care for our girls. Puppies are hard. Two puppies are even harder but she Rocked it. I wrote instructions for her and she followed them to the ‘T’ even using our ‘command words’. She even set in the floor cuddling them during a storm to calm her fears I will definitely use her again.”
“The most caring and considerate dog sitter I've experienced. My dog needs special attention during storms, and Lindsay is the only person I trust. I cannot review highly enough. She goes above and beyond to make my dog comfortable.”
“Sandy was amazing!! It's SO obvious she's a "dog person" and she loves and cares for the dog she's taking care of. Sandy went "above and beyond" taking our dog to the vet when she noticed a hot spot. She is a great communicator and sent lots of updates and pictures which was reassuring since this was the first time we had used her. Finding Sandy has been an absolute blessing! We will definitely be using her again, we highly recommend her services!!”
“Tiana was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She sent frequent updates, along with plenty of photos and videos, so I always knew how he was doing. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like one of her own. I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well loved throughout his stay. I would absolutely book with Tiana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!”
“Regan was absolutely amazing with Archer. He is a senior Dachshund and can be a little unsure in new places, but she went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable and cared for during his very first overnight stay. She was patient, gentile and very attentive to his needs. It’s such a relief to find someone who understands and loves older pups. I’m grateful for the peace of mind she gave me and all the pictures she sent during his stay.”
“Megan was absolutely great. Our dog is pretty chill so they were bff's for a week. She sent pictures and updates. Everything went well and she is now our go to when it comes to our fur baby. It's nice to have someone who cares about pets and treats them as their own.”
“Karen is a God send. Kooper loves her and her family, especially her husband Don. Karen is the sitter I’ve had in my entire life and I’ve had a lot of dogs being that I’ll be 65 next month. I don’t know what we’ll do if she stops taking care of dogs. I’m at peace when Kooper’s with her and Don.”
“Kirsten was AMAZING with our sweet boy TBuddy. He wasn’t feeling very well and she updated me several times a day on his care. She has such a kind and loving heart and it def showed. Tbuddy had a great visit and we will be using her again. You should as well! Emily Kercheval”

About: Hello! I’m Alyce, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent years caring for dogs, cats, and other animals through every stage of life. Growing up, I helped care for family pets, assisted with grooming, and even learned early on how important patience, routine, and observation are when caring for animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality. Some want to play the moment you walk in, some need a little time before they’re comfortable, while others might rather being completely left alone—and that’s okay! I believe in meeting each pet where they are and following their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet needs a potty break, exercise, fresh food and water, medication, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’ll provide dependable care and detailed photo updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I’m not just fitting pet care into my schedule—I’ve chosen to make it part of my daily routine! I’m intentionally keeping my availability open so I can provide dependable drop-in visits & dog walks around your pet’s schedule. Building my Rover business is something I’m genuinely enthusiastic about, & I’m committed to being reliable, responsive, & flexible whenever possible. I look forward to building lasting relationships with both pets & their people! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During every visit, I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special routines your pet relies on. I’ll also make sure doors, gates, and crates are securely closed before leaving and will send detailed updates with photos after each visit so you know exactly how your pet is doing. My goal is to help your pet feel comfortable in their own familiar environment while giving you peace of mind whenever you’re away.
“This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little wary about letting a stranger into my house. But Mason’s personality was very reassuring from the start. He was prompt for our meet-and-greet before I booked him, and he was awesome and friendly. Mason was kind, communicative, and took great care of my cats while I was away. He sent updates and pictures, and I appreciated how much attention he gave them. My normally shy cats even came out to see him, which says a lot. I’d absolutely book Mason again.”
“Kayla is a wonderful petsitter. She took such great care of my very shy orange tabby. I would recommend her to anyone and will be rebooking with her the next time I'm away.”
“Love Hannah! She is the most wonderful and caring person so that redlects in her care for fur babies as well! She has such attention to details and kept me well informed; I never felt nervous or questioned the care of my cat while I was away! I would highly recommend Hannah to care for your fur baby! ❤️”

About: I’ve shared my life with cats for years — currently with my 10-year-old cat, Lux, who has taught me everything about patience, body language, and earning a cat’s trust. I understand that every cat is unique: some want constant attention and playtime, while others just need quiet companionship and a gentle hand. I’m experienced with everything from shy or independent cats to affectionate lap warmers. I know how to handle routines, feeding schedules, litter maintenance, and giving medication if needed. Most importantly, I take the time to make each cat feel safe and loved in their own space — with plenty of chin scratches, playtime, and peaceful company while you’re away.

“Amber was truly the best person to leave my sweet puppy with for the day! She kept me updated through text with pictures and videos throughout his entire stay, she invited me in when we arrived to give me the assurance of knowing where he would be for the day. Her home was very clean, tidy, and she was inviting to make me more comfortable. My anxiety about leaving him for the day was immediately relieved. Do not hesitate to let her care for your pets!!”
About: I’ve had my family dog, Princess, a Pomeranian-Papillon mix, since I was four years old. I was the one who named her, and she’s been my best friend ever since. I’ve cared for her through every stage of her life, from a playful puppy to now as a senior dog, so I understand that pets have different needs as they get older. Senior pets have a special place in my heart, and I’m always happy to give them the extra patience and love they deserve. As a college student, I’m home during school breaks, which means I have a flexible schedule and lots of time to dedicate to your pet. I’m also available during holiday breaks! During the academic year, though, I’ll be inactive while I’m away at college, so I only accept bookings when I’m home. I usually only take one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so they’ll get lots of one-on-one care and won’t have to compete for attention. I’ll stick to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, and I ask that owners provide their pet’s food, medications (if needed), favorite toys, and any other essentials. If I’m caring for a cat, I’ll also need their litter box, litter, and other supplies. Communication is really important to me. I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates, and if you’re missing your pet, I’m even happy to FaceTime so you can check in. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart.

“Lindsey is awesome. She gave me lots of pics & updated me without me having to ask. I have a bulldog & was worried about humidity but she paid attention to detail & took amazing care of him. I felt great having him in her hands & I found myself relaxed that I knew he was in good hands. He also came home with a little dog report card. Highly recommend!”

I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading a dog’s personality and body language. I can also help reinforce basic habits like potty routines, leash manners, and calm behavior for younger dogs. I treat pets like they’re my own and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for instead of just “watching” them. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and adjust to what they need, whether that’s extra playtime, reassurance, structure, or space. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m consistent with routines and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I provide a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and always supervise pets during walks, playtime, and interactions with other dogs. I also have a smart camera in my home so I can keep an eye on pets if I step out briefly. For added safety and comfort, pets can be kenneled if needed or preferred by the owner.
“I was nervous to leave my quirky dogs with a stranger, but Tyler quickly put my pets and me at ease. He took the dogs on a walk early on, to make them feel at home.

I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape.

I’m not just fitting pet care into my schedule—I’ve chosen to make it part of my daily routine! I’m intentionally keeping my availability open so I can provide dependable drop-in visits & dog walks around your pet’s schedule. Building my Rover business is something I’m genuinely enthusiastic about, & I’m committed to being reliable, responsive, & flexible whenever possible. I look forward to building lasting relationships with both pets & their people! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During every visit, I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special routines your pet relies on. I’ll also make sure doors, gates, and crates are securely closed before leaving and will send detailed updates with photos after each visit so you know exactly how your pet is doing. My goal is to help your pet feel comfortable in their own familiar environment while giving you peace of mind whenever you’re away.
About: I've been dog sitting for about 5–6 years and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large breeds, as well as senior dogs. I've also cared for multiple dogs and cats at the same time, so I'm comfortable managing different personalities and routines. My goal is to keep your pets as comfortable as possible while you're away. I typically stay in my clients' homes so their pets can remain in a familiar environment and stick to their normal routine. If house sitting isn't needed, I'm happy to stop by throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I am currently working part time, which gives me the flexibility to stay at clients homes and provide more consistent care for their pets. This allows me to let the dogs out before work, after I get off, and whenever needed throughout the day or night. My boyfriend also stays with me if okay with client and is able to help with pet care , since he typically gets off work before I do and can let the dogs out. I only provide care in my clients’ homes, where I focus on keeping their pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I usually stay in the guest room or on the couch, and I let the dogs sleep with me if that is what they are used to and what their owners are comfortable with. For dogs who sleep in a kennel, I make sure they are safely put away and comfortable in their own space. My goal is to create a calm, familiar environment where pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away.

About: I grew up on a farm, had lots of dogs, cats, and all sorts of other animals to care for. As an adult, I’ve had quite a few cats, and I’m the current owner of three small dogs. I am currently working from home. Travel once a month. So I have plenty of time to check on the babies, play with them outside, and give them occasional treats. I have a fenced in yard that is designed for small dogs, a large dog would likely jump over. But it works great for the small dogs, plenty of shade, plenty of grass. And in the house, I have an abundance of pet beds, and blankies.

“Sandy was amazing!! It's SO obvious she's a "dog person" and she loves and cares for the dog she's taking care of. Sandy went "above and beyond" taking our dog to the vet when she noticed a hot spot. She is a great communicator and sent lots of updates and pictures which was reassuring since this was the first time we had used her. Finding Sandy has been an absolute blessing! We will definitely be using her again, we highly recommend her services!!”
“Regan was absolutely amazing with Archer. He is a senior Dachshund and can be a little unsure in new places, but she went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable and cared for during his very first overnight stay.

I’m grateful for the peace of mind she gave me and all the pictures she sent during his stay.”
“Karen is a God send. Kooper loves her and her family, especially her husband Don. Karen is the sitter I’ve had in my entire life and I’ve had a lot of dogs being that I’ll be 65 next month. I don’t know what we’ll do if she stops taking care of dogs. I’m at peace when Kooper’s with her and Don.”

I plan my days around feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m consistent with routines and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I provide a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and always supervise pets during walks, playtime, and interactions with other dogs. I also have a smart camera in my home so I can keep an eye on pets if I step out briefly. For added safety and comfort, pets can be kenneled if needed or preferred by the owner.
