Personalized care for your dog or cat - Clayton
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Clayton
“Laura was absolutely amazing with our pup! 🐾 She sent us daily pictures and videos and always replied to our messages quickly, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, she truly loved on our fur baby as if he were her own. We felt completely comfortable knowing Laura was caring for him and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter.”
“Hannah & PJ, we’re great with Fletcher! He seemed to have a good time and that put me at ease 🩵 Their dog was a perfect playmate for him. I’m highly recommend their puppy care!”
“Romeo always has a wonderful time with Chantel. He was sad to leave her. I have no doubt my little guy is being cared for and loved when he's away from me. If you are looking for a great person and dog lover, Chantel is it, no question.”
“Bo is a 16-year-old dog who has anxiety and doesn’t really like change so I was very nervous to leave him for five days. Carlita was so patient with Bo. She also helped ease my worry by sending daily updates with pictures/video! The first and last time we boarded Bo at a facility he looked depressed in the cameras; with Carlita he looked happy and was smiling!! I will certainly be reaching out to Carlita in the future! Thank you Carlita for taking such wonderful care of our Bo!!”
“Joanne is the best dog sitter we have had! Our dog has stayed with Joanne twice and we plan on using her again in the future. She is a wonderful communicator and sends us so many pictures during our dog's stay. We confidently feel like our dog is being taken care of under Joanne's watch and we find her to be very knowledgeable when it comes to all things canine!”
About: I work fully from home, which allows me to offer a highly attentive and flexible level of care throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. I also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and my neighborhood has sidewalks that are ideal for daily walks. I currently have two dogs of my own: Neo, a Lab mix, and Luna, a Golden Retriever. Caring for them daily gives me strong hands-on experience with different temperaments, routines, and energy levels, and I’m very comfortable adjusting care based on each dog’s personality and needs. I also foster dogs, including dogs with medical needs and behavioral challenges. This has given me experience administering medication, managing behaviors, recognizing stress signals, and reinforcing basic training techniques when needed. I am comfortable caring for dogs that require extra patience, structure, or individualized attention. Because I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every dog in my care with the same attention and responsibility I give my own. I intentionally provide quality, attentive care and only take bookings I can fully commit to, so each dog receives the attention they deserve. I work from home full time, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and as many potty breaks as needed. I can easily incorporate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication if needed, and rest time into the day while making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. Safety is very important to me. I have a fully fenced yard with a 6-foot fence, which provides a secure space for dogs to spend time outside safely. Because I work from home full time, dogs in my care receive full attention, close supervision, and are never left alone for long periods. I make sure each dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for while following their routine and any specific instructions provided by their owner.
“Michelle was phenomenal with Duke and Leo . She definitely communicate at top tier. The thing I love she also welcomed me into home to see we’re the set up was. Her son also is a big help I watched him take care of them as well . I can’t ask for a better person to take care of the pups this is a good experience an also made me feel super comfortable then ever.”
“Mitzi and her family were wonderful! Max made himself right at home and had lots of fun with his new furry friends. Mitzi sent videos and pictures every day so I could see how happy he was. We will definitely be using Mitzi again for boarding Max. Thank you!”
“I had an issue with another sitter I had set up through Rover for when I'd be out of town and they dropped my dogs back at home despite me not being there. I contacted Kimberly immediately and although she was also out of town, she took the time to go to my house and get my dogs as soon as she got back that night. She is an absolute angel and is great with my high energy boys. I cannot recommend her enough. I am so thankful for her!”
“Tracy took great care of our dogs these past few days. She sent daily pics and updates and also bathed them. When we picked them up they did not act all crazy, we had a nice ride home. Thank you Tracy for the great care. We will definitely reach out to Tracy next time and recommend her to our family and friends and anyone else shopping for a great pet sitter.”
“Gregorio was wonderful with our mixed German shepherd Evie. He took a great care of her making her comfortable and keeping her clean and safe. We had a great experience leaving her with him. He is a great sitter and we would used his service again if we need to. 10/10! Thank you Gregorio”
“Susan was fantastic! Hobbes had a great time and was so happy when he got to her place and saw that fenced in yard. Susan communicated often and was really responsive! Highly highly recommend!”
“Dior had a great stay at Marissa & Mosieo’s. They have two small dogs & a fenced in yard so she had play buddies, space & time to run around. Marissa shared a video of pure joy. She made herself at home.”
“Again, feeling so lucky today that we found this sweet couple to care for our dog. After two separate day stays and an overnight stay, we’re convinced that they are dog whisperers and dogs immediately feel their love. Thanking them for easing the worry that comes with leaving your dog in someone else’s care. We feel extremely comfortable leaving our dog with them.”
“Alexandria was great with our 2 dogs! We have experienced multiple sitters, by far Alexandria is the best! She provided assurance from the day we met to throughout the time she took care of our boys. Alexandria provided updates multiple times a day and provided photos and videos. We highly recommend her and will reach out to her next time we need a sitter for our dogs.”
“This was our first time using Rover.com and we started with a great sitter. We had a lovely experience with Luis. Josie was well taken care of and appeared to enjoy her time in his care. He kept us updated with text and pictures. Also, Josie is a picky eater, but Luis was persistent in following my instructions on how to get her to eat. She was walked twice a day and had a great time playing with a puppy that was also in Luis' care. I will use him again in the future and plan to recommend him to others.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience with Kordula and her family! She was very flexible with our changing travel plans due to weather and sent daily photos and updates. Thank you!”

“April was great! She ensured I was kept up to date on my senior kitty and asked questions to ensure a deep understanding of how I take care of my cat. She was transparent about her schedule and experience as well. I will definitely book April again if we need a cat sitter.”
“Jessica has been nothing short of fantastic both times she looked after our cats! Prompt, great communication and goes the extra mile. We already booked her for the next time we are out of town.”
“Kaelyn was wonderful. She sent detailed updates and pictures daily. She spent the extra time to locate them and try to coax them out. She followed my crazy list of fur- baby instructions and for once I felt confident they were being looked after. She put my mind at ease. Would definitely rebook with her.”
“Lauren was amazing with our cats while we were away. I felt at ease leaving my fur babies for a few days! She took excellent care of them. Would definitely recommend and use her again!”
“Abbey was great! She really took care of my Sasha kitty when she came over! Did all the water refresh, new food, cleaned litter boxes and spent time with photos of my fur baby! I would HIGHLY recommend Abbey to visit and care for your pet. (:”
“We came home to 3 very happy kitties. It was obvious they had been well-fed and given lots of attention while we were gone. Sandy did a great job giving our senior cat twice daily oral medication. We definitely recommend Sandy for your pet-sitting needs.”
“Five stars! Bridgette visited my kitty while I was gone for two weeks, and she was excellent! She sent photos and updates every day and was super communicative and reliable. She'll definitely be my go-to cat sitter from now on. She's great with kitties and with people.”

“Hannah & Patrick were great with our pups. We did a meet & greet the week before so our dogs could meet on a nice walk. They have a nice sized yard for the dogs to play outside & took them on lots of walks! They only spent the day with them but they got lots of love, exercise & I got a lot of pics! Can’t wait for Lily& Ellie to visit again”
About: I have over 900 5 Star reviews on the Wag! app for dog walking, boarding and overnight sitting. Joined a local company that I currently work for and have several private clients that prefer to work with me directly. I have pet care insurance independently from the platforms I've used. I leave every home I visit better than I found it. Checking mail, taking out trash, all manner of special touches. I am handy and have changed light bulbs and air conditioning filters at overnights where i felt the client needed help with those things. Dogs naturally love me. I've had clients joke about their dog liking me more than them. I go above and beyond to make sure your pet is safe and happy while in my care. I can leash train or correct "bad" behavior with positivity and patience. I am working on CPR certification and constantly expand my knowledge of breeds and training techniques. I care for pets full-time. Ready to do walks, dropins and overnight sittings. I am pretty full as far as midday walks go, but can adjust in certain cases I currently don't do day care at my home. I do have my own dog that often accompanies me for my visits and pet sitting.
About: I grew up on a farm and took care of a variety of animals. As a young teen I spent my summers volunteering at a Vet Clinic where I fed, walked, and bathed numerous cats and dogs. As I got older, I began to pet sit while family and friends went on vacation. I am currently off for the Summer, so I am home all day to ensure your furry friends are well loved. I am available weekdays and weekends. I have an unfenced yard with several trees lining the back of the property. Your pet will be safely supervised while in the yard, whether on the leash or off. Pets can be crated as needed, but are free to roam the house and lay on the furniture. Our home is their home!
“Maria was wonderful with my little Lexi. Lexi stayed overnight and Maria made sure she was comfortable and so did her husband. She sent me pics and made a video ..I was nervous about leaving Lexi with anyone as this was my first overnight exp.. going away on a cruise and wanted Lexi to spend the night so she knew I would be. coming back. Will be using Maria for my upcoming vacation. Highly recommend her. She is wonderful and very caring .”
“Jackie was amazing looking after my dog! She and her family treated my dog like he was part of the family! Jackie was very easy to work with, very professional, and it’s easy to tell she has a passion for animals! I will definitely be using her services again!”
About: I’ve walked and boarded dogs for friends and neighbors for years and have done extensive volunteer work with animals-it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I’ve always considered myself an animal advocate and take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a senior dog who needs a gentler pace, I tailor each walk to their needs. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on their well-being. Working part-time from home gives me the flexibility to plan my day around your pet’s needs. I can easily adjust my schedule for walks, playtime, and care. When caring for pets in my home, I follow their regular routine to keep them comfortable and relaxed. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have plenty of fresh water, and get the right amount of exercise and attention. I take time for play, walks, and companionship, always keeping their safety my top priority. I treat every pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own. My home is pet-friendly with plenty of space to play, nap, and explore.
About: I have always loved dogs. Since, I was a child pet sitting has been one of my favorite things to do to make extra money. I currently work full-time from home. Having a pet to care for will not only help past time but also bring joy while working full-time. I have lots of free space in my home, allowing pets to run freely throughout their stay. It is very homey for both humans and pets. I will ensure your pet is safe & well taken care of.
“Jessica was great! Fast response to texts, and she was incredibly kind and understanding while we tried to get our act together with booking on our end. Oreo was very well taken care of! From the pictures she really enjoyed her time with Jessica’s pup as well! I highly recommend Jessica.”
About: Grew up with parents who were groomers and breeders. I went to school to major as a veterinarian due to my love animals, and even though life, I find myself forever engulfed by the love of these furry creatures. Dogs to wolves, house cats to bobcats, ferret buddies, birds, hamsters and more. There’s care for them all. I manage well🙂. I have plenty of days where I find myself very free and available. A little companionship never heard us. Sometimes I need to take a walk and there’s a room for company. I’m a little sit down with friends never hurt. As the fur parent sees fit. They would be fed, potty breaks/outside time 2-4 times a day, and given a social atmosphere of people and or play friends. Unless otherwise directed. Light grooming and bathing can also be discussed.
“Today was Rocky's first day there. I know he had a awesome time with Lynn and the dogs. He had full playtime, eat time and relax time. He came home and went to sleep. I'm a happy pet owner.”
“Moses had a great day with Sarai. He is a pretty anxious guy, but she was great with him. She sent us several updates during the day. We felt very comfortable leaving him with her. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I’m a parent of a ragdoll. Equip of taking medicine, nail clipping, paw trimming and cat washing. I also have a pet dryer set up for her.0 I’m currently working from home full time so I’m very flexible with schedules. I’m very easy going so just communicate and there’s nothing we can’t figure out. I have all wooded floor in the first floor solely for stay over dogs to keep them comfort and stay away from cats if needed, same situation for cats if needed.
About: I have been doing Rover since 2020- I have always been a dog person and a house without a dog doesn't feel the same. I have trained my dog on my own to be off leash, commands and tricks. Marley listens very well and is titled as our family's best dog. I often watch my family, friends and neighbors dogs while away as well as drop ins/walks. I currently working from home, full-time and my job is very flexible so i’m able to work with you and your schedule needs. I have plenty of time to play, walk and give attention to your pet. Our dog Marley would also love the company. I do have a large and medium crate so I can easily crate your dog if needed so you don’t have to bring yours. We have a large unfenced back yard, also a long leash in the back yard for sun bathing, playtime and a large area to go for walks! Personally, my dog will not use the bathroom in the backyard on the leash, only while on a walk so walks are very important in our caretaking! If you send a request it makes our availability for that time not available for other owners needing care, so please let me know if plans change or you no longer need the booking. Thanks!! 😊 I’m working from home and my job is flexible which gives me plenty of time to be able to drop in, take your dog on a nice walk outside or cuddle thru the night. I have lanyards in the back since our large backyard is unfenced, however Marley will be great fur company for a good tug of war or snuggles.
“I had a last minute scheduling issue with taking my cocker spaniel Silas in for his surgery. Alexandria was willing to adapt her schedule to fit our needs. She got up very very early and dropped him off at the vet for me! She was kind and respectful, patient and easy to talk with. I can't tell ya how much peace of mind it brought me, knowing Silas was in good hands.”
About: I have years of experience taking care of other peoples’ dogs as well as my own, who is almost ten! I have a big fenced in yard with lots of shade that would be great for your pup! I work early mornings into the early afternoons (usually around 1-2). So after my work day, I’m home mostly relaxing or working in the yard and engage in lots of hobbies around the house. I will be around to tend to any needs your dog may have :) I live with my partner and our dog, Mulder, who is 9 years old. We have a fenced in yard with lots of shade that our dog loves and would love to share with your dog , too! We can also host indoors so the pups can cool off and relax.

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and personalities my whole life — from tiny pups to giant gentle giants. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with lots of love, attention, and care. Whether your pup is playful, shy, energetic, or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I’m a full-time teacher who’s home for the summer — which means your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime! During the school year, we are both off on weekends, holidays, and several breaks throughout the year. I work very close by. So a quick potty break is easy to accommodate. My husband also works locally. So there’s usually someone home for extra belly rubs and company. We’re a dog-loving household ready to make your pup feel right at home! Safety is always my number one priority. I treat them like family — with lots of love and attention, and always with their well-being top of mind. At home, I have a friendly black lab mix who loves to play with new pals! She’s crate trained and well-socialized. You can trust that your furry friend will be safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.
About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and truly treat every pet like family. I understand how important it is to feel at peace when someone else is caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I offer dependable, attentive care with a calm and nurturing presence. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, walks, administering basic medications, and making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and gentle with senior animals who need a little extra care and attention. I had my precious doggy (the yellow guy) for over 17 years and held him until his last breath. He was a larger breed and I didn’t expect him to live that long! I also brought my Persian kitty (almost quite literally) back to life after he was badly injured-likely a car accident. He was on a feeding tube for months and I cleaned and dressed his wounds, prepared his liquid food and kept him going when I was 8 years old. He eventually moved out with me to my first house and peacefully passed away on my bed ❤️🩹 As a mom, I bring a natural level of responsibility, awareness, and consistency into everything I do. You can trust that your pets—and your home—are in caring, capable hands. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away 💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m intentional about being reliable and consistent. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning, midday, evening, or nighttime visits. I’m flexible and do my best to accommodate last-minute requests when I’m available. Your pet’s routine and comfort always come first. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, routines, medications, and any special care needs. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean, and ensure doors, gates, and pets are always secure. I prioritize calm, attentive care so your pet feels safe and at ease while you’re away.
“Courtney is amazing and would highly recommend! She has said yes everytime we needed her. She even walked our girl a day out of being at hospital and refused to leave us stranded. Thank you for being amazing and dependable”
About: I’ve take care of all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, reptiles) since I was 10 years old. I have always been a trustworthy person to take care of your beloved family member. I am a teacher, a dog and cat owner myself. I am reliable, honest and kind to every person and animal big or small. I’m a teacher who has open summers. I can come morning, afternoon, or night. I have my own dog and cats that I care for on a daily basis and I would treat your animals just like I would my own. I have a fenced yard with a very friendly, spayed Dalmatian named Blue. I also have 2 very friendly rescue cats, Graham and Mellow. I have a lot of space and experience.
“Larry is amazing! He quickly established a rapport with my skittish Goldendoodle, and my big dog (96 lbs) is putty in his hands. Larry even put my trash bins away, which is huge considering I'm on crutches. My animals know they can fully trust Larry, and so do I.”
About: I know how truly important it is to find someone who’s reliable, trustworthy and professional when considering pet arrangements, whether that’s just a potty break or multiple days of sitting. I have three dogs of my own at the moment and have 12 years of care experience. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, all personality types and all training levels. I typically have a very flexible schedule to accommodate most hours or need. Weekends, weekdays, holidays. I’m here to make sure this is a low stress experience for everyone. I care for my own dogs with daily walks, daily enrichment in the form of play or training time.. and of course, plenty of affection.
About: I've retired from the corporate world of account management and have been following my passion of caring for dogs and cats on a full-time basis with Rover. My clients love seeing how excited their pets are to see me and are amazed how well they behave when I'm around. On a typical day I'll be out and about caring for pets by dropping in at a pet's home to provide attention and bathroom breaks, walking dogs in someone's neighborhood, plus taking care of my own dog. Please keep in mind that when I am house sitting for you, I may come and go from your home in order to continue caring for my other client's drop-in needs and checking in on my own dog during the day but will be at your home overnight. I look forward to being someone you can rely on and trust! Please read my customer reviews to understand the passion I have caring for pets. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pets. For new clients, I require a Meet and Greet at your place of residence prior to booking any drop-ins, house sitting, or walks so your pets can meet me and you can learn a little more about me to be sure it's a good fit. I look forward to reading your completed profiles especially the "About", "Care", and "Vet" sections.
About: I am currently a vet tech at a local animal hospital and have over 2 years of experience in that field. I have administered medication, vaccines, cared for sick animals that require extra attention, and have a vast knowledge of animal welfare. I have been a pet owner since I could walk. I have always cared for dogs from my own family, to relatives, to friends of the family. I helped my dog Lily give birth to her puppies and made sure they were always fed and safe, since Lily was only a year old herself and wasn't sure what to do. I'm able to give baths, I love cuddling and providing plenty of play time, and I will happily give treats to the best boys and girls I care for (that's all of them!) I provide a lot of pictures during my visits because I know how much trust it takes for someone to take care of your baby while you're gone, and I want to provide as much peace of mind as I can that they are being well cared for and loved. I am currently a vet tech at a local animal hospital, but have temporarily gone part-time to finish my Bachelor's in Animal Science, so I have fairly open availability to care for your baby during the week. I am very flexible and can work with you on providing times for care that work best for you and your fur baby! I have vast experience caring for animals in my own home, as I am also a foster mom for my hospital's rescue from time to time! I have cared for several people's animals in the comfort of their own homes as well! I have moved into a house, so I have a nice, unfenced yard for potty breaks and play time, or we can always go for walks at the park! I provide a lot of pictures during my visits because I know how much trust it takes for someone to take care of your baby while you're gone, and I want to provide as much peace of mind as I can that they are being well cared for and loved.
About: I am a dedicated momma to 2 human teenager and 1 fur baby, Oliver. I've cared for multiple pets in our home, checked on neighbor's dogs when they're out of town, and also fostered dogs in need of a safe place to stay. We're a dog family through and through. I'm in between jobs right now so I'm available for walking, drop-ins, boarding, and day care and can take on short notice gigs. I can't wait to love on your fur baby! I have a very open and flexible schedule. I prefer to offer care M-F during the hours of 9:00 am and 9:00 pm, but I'm also flexible if the need arises! I always meet a new dog with gentleness and let them feel me out - smell my hand, don't approach them, give a treat, etc. I always stick to the instructions and routine provided by their family to keep the care as stress-free as possible for the pup. My goal in pet care is to make sure the dogs feel loved and cared for while their owners are away!
“April and her kiddos were amazing. They not only took millie on a walk but played fetch with her and gave her treats and lots of love. I will definitely use them again. So many great updates and pictures! Millie had a great birthday weekend with April, even if I couldn’t be there to help her celebrate❤️So thankful for you!”

I have had experience with many different dogs of all sizes, and am able to train, play with, walk, and give attention to them.

I have an open schedule to care for your doggos during weekdays. I am also available weekend days too, if needed. Last minute needs I can accommodate too. I have 3 dogs of my own, a black lab, and two pittie mix babes. My husband’s cousin has entrusted us with the care of her pittie doggo while dealing with health issues. My aunt who lives across the street from me has me look after her two dogs when she travels out of town.

About: Hello! 😊 Marica here, NC pet sitter dedicated to providing you and your pet(s) the best service around! Accepting NEW CLIENTS for the Spring/Summer! 🌞 My pet-sitting services include daily and overnight sitting, walking, feeding (pets with medical complications are welcomed), and playing! Fun games during play time will always be included in the service to stimulate your pet mentally. Service include both dogs and cats. I am a part-time pet sitter and full-time scientist, making my availability most compatible with weekend bookings. However, I do work a hybrid schedule, so overnight bookings are also great for my schedule! If you are in need of morning or evening drop-in visits and walkings, I’d love to meet your pet(s) and see if we are a good fit! 🤍 Did you know, owning/caring for pets can decrease blood pressure, cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels and can help prevent stress!? Caring for your pet isn't only beneficial to your pet, but to me as well! Book with me and see why you'd want to make me your go-to pet sitter! 😊 -MT
About: I grew up on a farm and took care of a variety of animals. As a young teen I spent my summers volunteering at a Vet Clinic where I fed, walked, and bathed numerous cats and dogs. As I got older, I began to pet sit while family and friends went on vacation. I am currently off for the Summer, so I am home all day to ensure your furry friends are well loved. I am available weekdays and weekends. I have an unfenced yard with several trees lining the back of the property. Your pet will be safely supervised while in the yard, whether on the leash or off. Pets can be crated as needed, but are free to roam the house and lay on the furniture. Our home is their home!
About: Hey! My name is Lexi and I am a huge animal lover! I just moved back to North Carolina from Pennsylvania, but I worked with dogs at a grooming salon for 3 years. I have one dog of my own and 3 cats. I promise to care for your babies the same way that I do mine! My friends and family always call me to care for their pets, knowing that I will take the best care of them! I work full time but I have a really flexible schedule so I’m typically available for taking care of your loved pets! Typically available for after work with night time or dinner visits! When caring for pets, whether in my home or in yours, I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. I have 1 dog and 3 cats that are all super friendly! I definitely understand patience and confidence when working with any type of pet! My top priority is always health, safety, and the happiness of your pet. I make sure that my care meets their needs, routines, and personalities. When caring for pets in their own environment, I make sure to maintain their regular schedule to help reduce any stress. I can provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can stay connected while you’re away. Whether it’s giving medications, following a special feeding plan, or giving your dog their daily belly rub, I try to follow their routine as closely as possible.

“Hannah & PJ, we’re great with Fletcher! He seemed to have a good time and that put me at ease 🩵 Their dog was a perfect playmate for him. I’m highly recommend their puppy care!”
About: I work fully from home, which allows me to offer a highly attentive and flexible level of care throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. I also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and my neighborhood has sidewalks that are ideal for daily walks. I currently have two dogs of my own: Neo, a Lab mix, and Luna, a Golden Retriever. Caring for them daily gives me strong hands-on experience with different temperaments, routines, and energy levels, and I’m very comfortable adjusting care based on each dog’s personality and needs. I also foster dogs, including dogs with medical needs and behavioral challenges. This has given me experience administering medication, managing behaviors, recognizing stress signals, and reinforcing basic training techniques when needed. I am comfortable caring for dogs that require extra patience, structure, or individualized attention. Because I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every dog in my care with the same attention and responsibility I give my own. I intentionally provide quality, attentive care and only take bookings I can fully commit to, so each dog receives the attention they deserve. I work from home full time, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and as many potty breaks as needed. I can easily incorporate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication if needed, and rest time into the day while making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. Safety is very important to me. I have a fully fenced yard with a 6-foot fence, which provides a secure space for dogs to spend time outside safely. Because I work from home full time, dogs in my care receive full attention, close supervision, and are never left alone for long periods. I make sure each dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for while following their routine and any specific instructions provided by their owner.
“I had an issue with another sitter I had set up through Rover for when I'd be out of town and they dropped my dogs back at home despite me not being there. I contacted Kimberly immediately and although she was also out of town, she took the time to go to my house and get my dogs as soon as she got back that night. She is an absolute angel and is great with my high energy boys. I cannot recommend her enough. I am so thankful for her!”
“Tracy took great care of our dogs these past few days. She sent daily pics and updates and also bathed them. When we picked them up they did not act all crazy, we had a nice ride home. Thank you Tracy for the great care. We will definitely reach out to Tracy next time and recommend her to our family and friends and anyone else shopping for a great pet sitter.”
“Gregorio was wonderful with our mixed German shepherd Evie. He took a great care of her making her comfortable and keeping her clean and safe. We had a great experience leaving her with him. He is a great sitter and we would used his service again if we need to. 10/10! Thank you Gregorio”
“Susan was fantastic! Hobbes had a great time and was so happy when he got to her place and saw that fenced in yard. Susan communicated often and was really responsive! Highly highly recommend!”
“Alexandria was great with our 2 dogs! We have experienced multiple sitters, by far Alexandria is the best! She provided assurance from the day we met to throughout the time she took care of our boys. Alexandria provided updates multiple times a day and provided photos and videos. We highly recommend her and will reach out to her next time we need a sitter for our dogs.”
“This was our first time using Rover.com and we started with a great sitter. We had a lovely experience with Luis. Josie was well taken care of and appeared to enjoy her time in his care. He kept us updated with text and pictures. Also, Josie is a picky eater, but Luis was persistent in following my instructions on how to get her to eat. She was walked twice a day and had a great time playing with a puppy that was also in Luis' care. I will use him again in the future and plan to recommend him to others.”
“Leonardo was amazing with my large breed dog, Jill, on a last-minute booking! He was super responsive, kind, and clearly great with big dogs. Jill loved him right away and came back happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Maria and her husband did a great job keeping Buster! She sent me pictures to make me feel at ease and send me updates that he was eating and playing well with others. She was also very kind and flexible with drop off and pick up times. We will be contacting her again!”
“Highly recommend Kelly! We had total peace of mind when we were out of town and appreciated all of the photos and videos sent to us of our fur baby. Kona had a blast with her and her doggies :)”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing with Oreo. He had a great time, she took him on walks, sent us lots of pictures, and made everything easy for our schedule. Highly recommend- A+++! Thanks Jessica!”
“Kelly and Jacob were great. They took care of my hyper 3month old Lab puppy for the weekend. My dog seemed to feel safe with them as he was cuddling up with the kids on the couch. Kelly was great about sending pictures of my puppy during his stay and made me not have to worry about if he was okay.”
“Hanna is the BEST!! This is our second time leaving our fur babies with her and she is so good with them...sends us daily pictures, takes them on daily walks, and even handled a stressful situation when we dropped them off with ease. She’s definitely our go-to sitter from now on!”
“Lisa & her family (and their own dog) are absolutely amazing! They watched our dogs for 2 weeks and I could easily see how happy George & Angus were. I'm always worried about people watching our dogs as they can be a handful, but they seamlessly blended in to Lisa home and family like they'd always been there. The whole family are clearly very experienced with dogs as they taught our boys a few commands to make feedings, etc. easier and took everything else in stride. They have a nice big grassy back yard where the dogs could get play and get their energy out. I absolutely will not hesitate to reach out to Lisa again as I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“This was my first time using Rover and saw that Sara had great reviews and out experience met all of the expectations. Sara made us comfortable and she understood our dogs physical limitations and accommodated our dog seamlessly. Sara sent daily pictures which were wonderful. We will use Sara on our next out of town trips. Thank you Sara”
“Dillon is very attentive and thoughtful of your pets needs and personality. He responded quickly and sent plenty of updates and pictures to know how Hildy was doing throughout the weekend. He's got a nice big fenced yard for the dogs to play in and took Hildy for walks with his dogs as well.”
