Highly-rated overnight sitters - Bushy Fork
“Katrin was AMAZING! My husband and I are so anxious leaving our dogs and katrin put our minds at ease immediately. From the moment we arrived, the dogs were clearly comfortable and in great hands. She shared regular updates and pictures, administered our senior dog’s medication, and went the extra mile in every possible way to make sure our pups felt right at home. We’re so grateful for her animal loving heart!”
“Very nice family! I was at ease as soon as I arrived. My dogs felt like they were at home. I was sent pictures daily with updates. My dogs were very well taken care of. Thomas and his wife were awesome and very welcoming. Will definitely use them again for my fur babies.”
“My little chihuahua had an amazing time boarding at David’s house! Communication was easy and seamless, and sent me lots of great photo updates throughout her stay. Would board her with David again anytime!”
“They took good care of my dog and he got walks and cuddles! I love pics and that helped a lot, and he also got along great with their dog so also a relief!”
“Aubrey was so attentive to the pups! She’s the best! They came home looking very well cared for and very happy. Usually my dogs only play together and aren’t interested in other pups but they loved her dog, cooper. Her house is very warm, inviting, and full of life and I have no doubt that they had the best vacation with her and her family. I also had to book last minute because a previous sitter fell through and Aubrey was so accommodating and understanding. Highly recommend her…we def will be booking with her from now on!!”
“Mellie absolutely loves the time she spends at Marilyn’s! From running around with the other dogs, to going down the slide in the backyard and playing in the kiddie pool to snuggles with Marilyn’s adorable kiddos, there never seems to be a dull moment and Mellie always comes home happy and utterly exhausted. Marilyn is a joy to communicate with- she is super quick to respond, super attentive to all of Mellie’s allergy and separation anxiety needs, and makes sure to keep me updated with photos and videos, whether Mellie is there just for the day for doggy daycare or for a longer stay. I am so grateful to Marilyn and her family for the love they have shown to me and Mellie and we will definitely continue booking with them in the future!!”
“I cannot express how grateful I am to Kenan and Kayleigh for taking such excellent care of my fur baby, Kaine, during his stay with them. From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he would be in good hands. Kenan and Kayleigh immediately put me at ease with their warm personalities and love for animals. Throughout Kaine's stay, Kenan regularly sent updates and photos, showing how much fun he was having. It was clear that Kaine felt right at home with them, as he played and enjoyed being outside. What impressed me the most was their attention to detail and willingness to cater to Kaine's specific needs. They made sure to follow his routine, which is so important for his well-being. Their genuine love for dogs shines through in everything they do. I highly recommend Kenan and Kayleigh for anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters. They treated Kaine as if he were their own, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Kenan and Kayleigh, for giving Kaine such a wonderful time! I will definitely be coming back the next time I need a sitter!”
“Lauren was absolutely great! I was so thankful she was able to watch my 2 babies on a holiday weekend! She even came to me for a meet and greet beforehand which was so helpful. I would highly recommend and will be using her services again in the future!!”
“Emily is the absolute best! It was our first time leaving our dog for a couple of days. We were so nervous! She sent us photos and little messages in the morning and at night to make sure that we felt at ease. Emily and her pups welcomed Beckett in and made her feel like part of their family. The played, they walked, they snuggled. So grateful. We highly recommend Emily!”
“So grateful for Giancarlo's excellent care! Our pup does not do well with boarding facilities, but Giancarlo kept him happy and health for over a week. We appreciate Giancarlo's flexibility and frequent updates. We look forward to booking with him again!”
“Amanda was a dream. She helped me out when I had my days mixed up and was lovely with my pup. She was so gre At my pup didn’t want to leave. Would definitely recommend and rebook.”
“Julia did an amazing job caring for our dog, Nova! She sent lots of pictures and was accommodating when we needed an extra day due to a delayed flight. Our dog is anxious and Julia did everything she could to make her comfortable and calm. I highly recommend Julia and would love to have her watch our dog again!”
About: Big animal guy here. I grew up on a small farm and as an adult have done a bit of work-trading on farms literally all around the country. I've never had any pets myself since I still travel too much. But my current job is remote, and so I have a good deal of flexibility to provide dog walking or pet sitting help to others. Even though I've spent a lot of time on farms, I am very familiar with more typical cat and dog care. Growing up my family always had at least one family cat and dog, usually more. Now many of my friends have cats or dogs, and I help care for them regularly. I enjoy going on walks, regardless of whether I'm walking a dog, but having some company is always nice. And then cats and I just have an understanding (I'm a bit of an introvert) I have a pretty typical work schedule but work from home with the ability to take breaks as needed. Weekends I do not work so generally have even more flexibility then. I don't have a fenced yard but live in a great neighborhood for going on walks. Cats, where they staying with me, would have plenty of room inside
“I can't recommend Lena highly enough. She took outstanding care of my boy. He was a little anxious when I left him, but Lena's patience and understanding made him feel comfortable enough to play and enjoy himself by day two. Even better, she spotlights the doggies on the cutest Instagram page, as well as though pictures throughout their stay. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Alice took great care of my dog, including all of his unique needs and behaviors. Alice was also impressively easy to work with — she made it extremely easy to drop him off and pick him up.”
“Argus took care of Zoey when we were out on vacation. He did a good job sticking with Zoeys feeding schedule and also provided extra attention to feed her medication”

“Ashley was fantastic! We were able to book her last minute and she sent so many amazing photos of our cats while we were gone! I highly recommend booking her and would totally book her again!”
“Excellent service Fantastic with the cats lots of attention! They usually hide from strangers but they come out when Meredith check in . They truly like her. Thank you sooo much Meredith for taking good care of my cats. I feel relaxed and confident they are in good hands!”
“Heidi was very professional and friendly. The cats took to her right away and got a lot of love and attention. All directions were followed and pictures were given with updates. Would book again!”
“Marissa did a great job taking care of our 3 cats last week. She came to our house before we left on vacation and we walked through the instructions. It was a nice treat to see her pics of the cats while we were gone. She even got pics of our shy cat, who hardly ever comes out of hiding for strangers.”
“Violet was a super prompt communicator and had no issues taking over on caring for our cat, Miso. She even traversed rough storm weather to check on her when we were out of the country. Would def book again!”
“V is the best! She has been kind enough to watch my cat many times now. I always come home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, and I truly appreciate the reliability and kindness she brings every time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“Justin exceeded every expectation I had for a pet sitter. He is responsible, dependable, and provided detailed updates after every visit, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. What impressed me most was how attentive he was to my dogs’ individual needs. One of my girls is known for occasionally skipping meals, and rather than simply noting that she didn’t eat, Justin took the time and effort to hand-feed her to encourage her to eat. He also noticed something seemed a little off with one of my dogs and reached out to check whether it was normal behavior, which showed me how observant and invested he is in the pets he cares for. My dogs clearly love him, and it’s obvious he genuinely enjoys spending time with them. He went above and beyond throughout the entire booking, and I would not hesitate to trust him with my girls again. If you’re considering booking Justin, you can do so with confidence.”
About: I've been caring for pets since I was young (including dogs, cats, horses, hamsters and guinea pigs) and I currently have 3 cats. 2 of my cats are declawed and get along with the dogs, 1 cat has claws. I'm use to caring for the unique needs of senior pets, including extra bathroom breaks and administering meds. I have three kids, 2 in college and a 17yo, that love pets as well and assist when they can. I live on 12 acres well away from the road but the yard is not fenced. I opened a business in town 9/2021 so I'm no longer home during the day but my husband works from home and when the kids are home from college they assist. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pet(s)! My husband works from home so he can care for them and keep them company during the day. I own a business in town and am usually home by 4pm. I have three kids that love dogs and assist when schedules permit. My cats also get along well with dogs. Dogs are not allowed on furniture but we do play with them if they are the playing kind or let them sleep if that is their preference.
“My cat, Charlie, is very shy and cautious. Nick has been super patient with getting him on his good side! Charlie has warmed up to him so much, especially with this last visit. I always get so many pictures and videos which is something any pet parent would appreciate!”
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

I have large spaces during the day and early evening :) While I don't have a home to house your pets in, I will follow all of your specific instructions in caring for your animals in your home

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bushy Fork
“Alaina and Nick were wonderful! My pup stayed one day during the day while I visited a friend nearby. He had a great time and was very well cared for. Communication was great before, during, and after his stay. 10/10 would trust Alaina and Nick to watch him again.”
“David is awesome! He was so sweet with my pup, and followed instructions well. He made sure that she got plenty of play time, updated me with pics, and even gave me updates on her socialization with the other pups! David has a huge fenced in yard, so it was great that my pup was able to run around!”
“Mocha had such a great experience today! Cathryn was kind and made sure mocha felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the genuine love shown toward her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I would definitely book again and highly recommend her services.”
“Vincent was very accommodating and responded quickly to my last minute request. He came out to greet us and the pups were comfortable with him immediately. He was very friendly and made sure everyone was harnessed and leashed for the short trip from the car to the fence. He has a nice fenced area for them to play and sent cute videos and photos. The pups appeared to have a great time and especially enjoyed their playtime with his two dachshunds! I will definitely use him again for daycare and drop-in visits.”
“Jade was the best! She is so sweet and caring, our puppy is only 6 months old with a lot of energy and growing so big and Jade watched her for several days in a row. She noticed multiple habits and quirks we forgot to mention and definitely developed a bond with our pup in the time she watched her. Jade was very intentional with updates which we appreciated overall we highly recommend, we would definitely book again (:”

“Chelsea and David were amazing! When I picked up my pup, she was happy and tuckered out! I would definitely bring my girl back to them when I come back into town. Can't recommend enough!”

“Tori and Zachary watched our dog for the day at their home. He fit in great with their own dogs. He loved running around a fenced in backyard, and came home nice and tired. We will gladly use them again.”

“This is our first time using Ashley to let our dog out in the middle of the day. She is fantastic! Our dog is weary of strangers and Ashley handled the situation really well- she went at his pace and spent some extra time with him. She sent a lot of photos and a detailed description of her time with Rowan. I would definitely use her again!”

About: Hi there! My name is Hayley and I have an extreme love and passion for ALL animals! Since I was a baby and got my first cat at 6 weeks old, I have grown up in a household full of animals with everything from cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, you name it, and those animals have taught me so much, enough that I want to give back to the local community and their animals! My specialties are with cats and dogs of any age, though if you have another animal in need of service, I am open to anything and ready to learn! Currently, I have two dogs (Jack Russells who are 2 and 8 yrs old) of my own that I have raised since they were both 8 weeks old. I have knowledge in feeding, medication management, daily exercise, enrichment activities such as tricks, routine care (bathing animals), hygiene maintenance, potty training, and as always, I strive to have strong, reliable communication with owners of your furry friends! I specialize in cats and dogs BUT if you are need of services for another animal, please dont hesitate to reach out as I am willing to help, learn whatever I need to, and give some extra love to your pet! AFTER August 10th, all services will be unavailable until December as I return to school outside of the area. Please do NOT book past August 10th. Thanks so much for understanding! ☺️ Mon-Sun: 8am-2:30pm (schedule varies but I will try my best to work something out with you!!) Meet and Greets: Scheduled meetings BEFORE desired sitting dates; I come to your home to get to know you, your fur babies, and the required schedule/rules. (I leave this up to the client's preference but I usually recommend it!) (CAN provide services before/after hours when requested!!) *AFTER August 10th, all services will be unavailable until December as I return to school outside of the area. Please do NOT book past August 10th.* Thanks so much for understanding! ☺️ As I previously mentioned, I have two dogs (both Jack Russells) of my own that are 2 and 8 years old. I strive to maintain a clean space and comfortable for my pets where they can relax and follow their usual routines with no worries. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide daily exercise and playtime, and ensure their safety by always supervising. They have designated rest areas (although I do allow animals on furniture), plenty of enrichment activities/toys, and lots of affection of course! I also have a large yard where my dogs love to run around and play with toys (when outside, they are always supervised) and a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks! I am always keeping my eyes on them, making sure they are healthy, eating/drinking, and exercising correctly. In a clients home is a bit different as this is not my personal space. I tend to follow the routine/schedule exactly as written and complete the usual duties such as feeding, walking, playtime, waste/litter cleanup, etc. I keep the home clean, ensure safety over the property and animals, and provide regular updates and photos to owners during each visit. I always double check and make sure all pets are comfortable, safe, and have everything they need in their space before I leave.
About: Hello, I have experience caring for dogs through dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. I have also pet sat for a friend for about a month on and off, where I helped with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure the dogs were comfortable and safe while their owner was away. I also have pets of my own, so I understand the importance of making sure animals are well cared for, loved, and safe. I’m very responsible, active, and attentive to pets’ needs. As a college softball player, I’m used to having a structured schedule and staying committed, so I always make sure pets get the care, attention, and exercise they need.

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I follow any instructions provided to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet is energetic and loves long walks or prefers quiet companionship, I adjust my care to meet their individual needs. I also love sending frequent updates, photos, and videos so owners can feel confident that their fur babies are happy, safe, and receiving the best possible care.
About: I’ve pet sat my friends animals, and they’ve had so many! Senior dogs that have accidents and have behavioral issues. Exotic pets, of many kids. Every morning, I fill the cat and water bowl in my room, weekly I clean the bowls. For my dogs, whenever my parents don’t feed them cause they are out, I feed them and fill their water. I brush their coats, and try to give them baths every few weeks or so! However the pet parents would like, but I care for what is best for their health. I understand each pet is different and needs different things. I can bathe the animals depending on behavior, my right leg doesn't haven't as much feeling since surgery and cant handle a lot of big pressure.
“Ashlee did a great job helping to wear out out dog during the day. She arrived when expected and always sent a picture from the walk. And she was flexible with the number and duration of the walks needed. I'll be happy to have her help out in the future.”

About: I love playing with and caring for animals. I know it’s hard to be there for your pet at all times, so I would love to help you with your needs. I love to play, walk, bathe, swim, and do pretty much whatever it is your animal needs. I am comfortable with all ages, sizes and breeds. If needed, I can administer medicines. I am available days , weeknights and weekends at all times. I have had my own dogs and other pets since I was 7 years old, so I am hoping that I can care for your pets the way that I have always cared for my own. Pet care is part of my everyday routine. I’m used to morning and evening walks, feeding on a schedule, meds when needed, and plenty of playtime and snuggles built into my day. I plan my errands and social stuff around animals being let out, fed, and comfortable, so adding your pets into that rhythm feels really natural for me. When I’m in a pet’s home, I stick to their normal routine as closely as possible – same feeding schedule, walk times, and sleeping spots. I do regular check-ins for food, water, potty breaks, and meds if needed, and I always build in playtime and cuddles so they’re not just ‘being watched,’ they’re actually getting attention. I keep the home tidy, follow any house rules you leave, and send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away.
About: I’ve had animals of many kinds from tiny to huge growing up. I’d normally house sit for family and friends until I decided to join the Rover crew.

I have a huge soft spot for making your pets the happiest they can be while they are with me!

They will always be my #1 priority and will be in the best hands.

For this reason, I highly recommend in home pet care. I am willing to discuss pet care in my home on a case by case basis.

“Katrin was AMAZING! My husband and I are so anxious leaving our dogs and katrin put our minds at ease immediately. From the moment we arrived, the dogs were clearly comfortable and in great hands. She shared regular updates and pictures, administered our senior dog’s medication, and went the extra mile in every possible way to make sure our pups felt right at home. We’re so grateful for her animal loving heart!”
“My little chihuahua had an amazing time boarding at David’s house! Communication was easy and seamless, and sent me lots of great photo updates throughout her stay. Would board her with David again anytime!”
“They took good care of my dog and he got walks and cuddles! I love pics and that helped a lot, and he also got along great with their dog so also a relief!”
“Mellie absolutely loves the time she spends at Marilyn’s! From running around with the other dogs, to going down the slide in the backyard and playing in the kiddie pool to snuggles with Marilyn’s adorable kiddos, there never seems to be a dull moment and Mellie always comes home happy and utterly exhausted. Marilyn is a joy to communicate with- she is super quick to respond, super attentive to all of Mellie’s allergy and separation anxiety needs, and makes sure to keep me updated with photos and videos, whether Mellie is there just for the day for doggy daycare or for a longer stay. I am so grateful to Marilyn and her family for the love they have shown to me and Mellie and we will definitely continue booking with them in the future!!”
“I cannot express how grateful I am to Kenan and Kayleigh for taking such excellent care of my fur baby, Kaine, during his stay with them. From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he would be in good hands. Kenan and Kayleigh immediately put me at ease with their warm personalities and love for animals. Throughout Kaine's stay, Kenan regularly sent updates and photos, showing how much fun he was having. It was clear that Kaine felt right at home with them, as he played and enjoyed being outside. What impressed me the most was their attention to detail and willingness to cater to Kaine's specific needs. They made sure to follow his routine, which is so important for his well-being. Their genuine love for dogs shines through in everything they do. I highly recommend Kenan and Kayleigh for anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters. They treated Kaine as if he were their own, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Kenan and Kayleigh, for giving Kaine such a wonderful time! I will definitely be coming back the next time I need a sitter!”

“Emily is the absolute best! It was our first time leaving our dog for a couple of days. We were so nervous! She sent us photos and little messages in the morning and at night to make sure that we felt at ease. Emily and her pups welcomed Beckett in and made her feel like part of their family. The played, they walked, they snuggled. So grateful. We highly recommend Emily!”

Our dog is anxious and Julia did everything she could to make her comfortable and calm. I highly recommend Julia and would love to have her watch our dog again!”
“I can't recommend Lena highly enough. She took outstanding care of my boy. He was a little anxious when I left him, but Lena's patience and understanding made him feel comfortable enough to play and enjoy himself by day two. Even better, she spotlights the doggies on the cutest Instagram page, as well as though pictures throughout their stay. I will definitely use her services again.”
