“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“Scott and Ellen have been amazing with Kaiser. They kept me updated eveyday with how Kaiser’s stay was going and sent pictures of them playing together and going for walks. They are the best!”
“From the minute Sunshine walked into Danielle’s home she was greeted with love. I was so happy to see how she immediately took to this new environment. She had that “this is gong to be fun” wag to her tail and expression on her cute face. Danielle provided pictures and Sunshine was full of Sunshine.”
“A1 care all around. Great communication whether it’s through a video or text and picture updates. Love the fact that Memphis feels at home. 10/10 definitely recommend.”
“Zydae was excellent! She was professional, communicative and made us feel so safe leaving our dog with her. She even sent pics and videos throughout the day. Will 100% use her again.”
“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!!”
“Awesome sitter with a wonderful outdoor space for extra exercise! Felt comfortable leaving our two dogs with Lauren while we were out of the country with limited phone and WiFi. Will definitely reach out to Lauren again to pet sit.”
“We had Hannah watch our dog for the first time, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. She was kind, reliable, and communicative from start to finish. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust Hannah to watch our dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”
“Candice did an amazing job. This was the first time I have ever left my dog with an overnight sitter so I was nervous. With Candice I had no worries at all. She kept me updated with my dog, made sure he had everything he needed. I would definitely book her again for an overnight trip. Thank you!”
About: I've been a passionate dog owner since I was 8 years old giving me well over two decades of hands-on experience with canine care and behavior. My background goes far beyond daily feeding and walks. I've personally assisted in delivering two litters of puppies, so I am comfortable with everything from whelping and newborn puppy care to handling unexpected situations with patience and confidence. Whether your pup needs gentle care, active play, or experienced handling, they'll be treated with the absolute highest standard of love and safety in my care. As a stay-at-home mom, my home is active, organized, and full of life! Being home full-time gives me a super flexible schedule, meaning your pet will rarely be left alone. I am available throughout the entire day for frequent potty breaks, backyard playtime, and continuous supervision. Whether you need daytime daycare or overnight boarding, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily family routine, ensuring your dog gets constant companionship and attention. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer a warm, welcoming, and closely supervised home environment where guest pets are treated like family. We have two super friendly Labrador Retrievers who love making new friends and playing host! Because I am home throughout the day, your dog will enjoy frequent leashed outdoor potty breaks, regular walks, structured playtime, and constant supervision. I closely follow all care instructions, sticking strictly to your pet's feeding and medication schedules to ensure a safe, smooth, and stress-free stay.
“She took amazing care of my dog over the span of two days, sent me pictures regularly of her, and I could tell give her plenty of love. When I dropped her off the bed in her kennel was pretty ripped up and the stuffing was everywhere. When I got it back, she had sewn it shut and put all the stuffing back in. Going above and beyond would be an understatement. Highly recommend.”
“Phoenix and Walter had their first stay with Ro last week for 6 days. She offered a nice meet and greet that allowed me to very feel comfortable leaving my pups with a complete stranger. Ro seems knowledgeable and compassionate about caring for animals and has a nice fenced in backyard for them to run and play. My pups didn't even seem excited to see me when I came to pick them up. Hoping to use her services again in the future.”

About: I was raised around cats and dogs since before I could walk, I absolutely adore animals however at the moment it unfortunately doesn’t make sense to get pets of my own. That’s why I love taking care of other people’s pets! Prior to making this account on Rover, I volunteered at an animal shelter and have dog sat/walked for friends and family and completely fell in love with this line of line of work. I’ll happily play fetch or take your dog on a hike. I’d love to brush out your cat’s coat and entertain them with toys. I have experience making frozen enrichment activities for the shelter dogs as well. I would love to meet your furry family and sincerely promise they will be cared for with the love and respect that family members deserve. I have a very flexible schedule, I’m practically going to be there when you need me with in reason of course. Just about anything in my life can be moved around to accommodate you if I have enough notice. Things always come up and life is unpredictable so as long as we are both understanding of that for each other all will be well. Give me your rule book for your pets and I will follow it. I love going on walking trails so if you felt comfortable with your dog leaving the home I’d be ecstatic to take them on an adventure. Like I’ve said before, your pets will be treated as my family. I will advocate for your animals and protect them in every way that I can.

“Lauren did an amazing job taking care of Lucky! He had been sick the week before I left town, so I was especially nervous about leaving him. Lauren went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of and followed all of my detailed instructions regarding his medications, feeding, and routine perfectly. She kept me updated throughout with plenty of photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”

“This was a last minute book and we couldn’t be more pleased. Sarah was great communicating with me since my schedule changed after booking and Cotde was so well taken care of. We will definitely use them again.”
“Tara has been incredible not only for Mr. Loki but for myself as well. He was excited to meet her even on our meet and greet before we started care and was immediately comfortable with her and her other dogs who are sweethearts as well. He’s been over there for a couple of weeks, but in that time, I’ve dropped him off and picked him up with the biggest smile on his face. She’s helped a lot with training as well since he’s my first dog I’ve had and he’s doing really well with that both at her home and at mine as I learn proper commands too. Communicates very thoroughly with me on how he was throughout the day, what he learned, and his overall behavior and she’s very attentive to care instructions. I couldn’t be happier with her care and honestly wish we found her earlier!”
“Grace was amazing! Highly recommend, my dog had other dogs to play with he’s a big puppy so he loves dogs. She was communicating perfectly and was ready to go upon drop off and pick up. Looking forward to another day with Grace when back in the area.”
About: We were raising dogs before we had children. Siberian Huskies, Akitas, rescue dogs, and Icelandic Sheepdogs. There have been dogs in our home for over 50 years. Our pets are a part of the family and greet us each day with a licky kiss on the chin. Our grandchildren love to play with Spensa when they visit. Pet care is intentional and a part of our daily routine. With the morning coffee comes the morning run around the back yard. With my breakfast is the dogs breakfast. If we go for a walk, so does the dog! We all just do life together as we can! We have a fenced yard allowing plenty of room to run and play. Our dog is very friendly and is very comfortable being around other dogs. She is current on all vacinations. Should you required you dog to be crated for any reason, we would be more than willing to comply to your requests.

About: DISCLAIMER * As of 10/26/2024 * If i cannot meet you and your pets before the start of the booking, i will not accept the booking. This has become a safety issue for me. I will no longer be able to accept verbal verification that your pet will be fine with a stranger entering the home. (Exceptions are small puppies) I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. My neighbor growing up had 4 cats, that I loved dearly! She was the first person who allowed me to watch her fur babies when she went on vacation! I've pet sat many times since then. Dogs big and small of all breeds from a little pug to a 100lb+ Rottweiler. I own a 85lb pit bull mix and a 10lb weenier dog. 🐶 They are my babies.💗 I can drop in anytime to check on your fur babies. Spend extra time with them. I do bathing, and walks also! If you need your fur babies to be crated, no problem! I will make sure their safety comes first. You can put your mind at ease knowing your pets will be taken care of! This is my full time job, I enjoy every second of it! So day or night I can always do a drop in visit or a walk! Your pets safety comes first! So during a meet and greet I will be going over a small list of questions to make sure I can take care of your fur baby to the best of my ability. With this I create a “pet profile” so when you need to rebook with me I’ve already got a reference to look back at. EXAMPLE; if your dog is good with other animals, or if there is a certain amount of food that needs to be given. These are just notes I make for myself, and so you can rest assured your fur baby is getting the best care!
About: Hello! My name is Aubrey And Family My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets (Cooper) and caring for family, and friends over the years.

About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know their different personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and pretty good at picking up on what a pet needs—whether that means getting some energy out on a walk, playing, or just hanging out and giving them some company. I’m also very dependable and will treat your pets and your home with the same care I’d want from someone watching mine. I’m happy to follow specific routines and instructions, and I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away! I am a full time online student at the moment so I am available all day everyday, with the exception of future appointments or meetings that will not take more than a few hours out of a day at a time. I am typically home watching over my own dogs at all hours of the day; I do work part time on the weekends though and am usually gone for 5-8 hours at a time onFridays-Sundays (depending on the week). I live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood which provides a standard sized tennis court, which we have basically turned into a play park for dogs! We all have contributed toys to leave at the tennis court and I LOVE brining my dog (and the doggie I am watching over) to the court to run freely for a while and play without worrying about other dogs or being on a leash. Because I have a larger dog (110 lbs; he is a gentle giant), I have a large crate and large bed as well! This will be great for any sized dog whether they are crate-trained or not :)
“It was my pup’s first time with a sitter. He’s usually nervous around new people. But not here, he was peppy and playful coming home. The next time going he ran right in like a reunion with old pals. Very impressed.”

“Cici loved going to Kelly's! She was wagging her tail and (annoyingly) jumping all over the place for daycare a few days after the meet and greet. She got to play with another dog about her size. Cici was ASLEEP a couple hours after I brought her home. She hardly ever settles on her own! I will definitely be bringing Cici back to Kelly's!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have been actively involved in caring for them from a young age. Through owning dogs and helping with their daily care, I've gained experience with feeding, walking, exercise, playtime, and providing lots of attention and affection.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am a lifelong pet owner who truly understands that pets are family. I have owned both dogs and cats for most of my life and currently have two Basset Hounds, Cooper (10) and Charlie (5), giving me firsthand experience caring for dogs at different life stages. Because Cooper is a senior dog, I understand the extra patience, attention, and routine that older pets often need. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, monitoring for changes in behavior, and ensuring pets receive the individualized care they deserve. I also have experience caring for pets for friends and family, so I understand the importance of communication and providing regular updates to give owners peace of mind while they're away. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and patient. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to care for your pet the same way I care for my own, with kindness, care, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but I have a one-hour lunch break from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM that allows me to check on pets, provide potty breaks, walks, feedings, or companionship during the day. After work, I am available in the evenings to provide additional care, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. I currently care for my two Basset Hounds, Cooper and Charlie, and understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine. I am committed to making sure pets receive the care, exercise, affection, and attention they need while their owners are away. In my home, my two Basset Hounds, Cooper and Charlie, have access to our fenced backyard through a doggy door, allowing them to go outside as needed throughout the day. They have a consistent routine that includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection and attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding according to their schedule, providing fresh water, taking them for walks or potty breaks, cleaning up after them, administering basic care as instructed, and spending quality time with them. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their routine remains consistent, and I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect that I give my own.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve raised and trained dogs since I was young and have experience with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, high-energy dogs, and more relaxed companions. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with medical needs and can administer oral medications, topical medications, injections, and provide care for dogs wearing cones or diapers. I work from home, which allows me to provide a flexible schedule and spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. Dogs staying with me are rarely left alone for more than 2–4 hours, receive regular potty breaks every 2–4 hours, and get lots of attention throughout the day. I always strive to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, fresh food and water, and lots of affection. All outdoor time is supervised, and I provide a clean, quiet, and stress-free environment. There are no other animals in the house. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout their stay or visit. I have access to a large backyard and a ton of greenery right across the street.
About: I've grown up with dogs in my house for my whole life and helped neighbors out when needed. I've had dogs of all ages, ranging from puppies to seniors. In addition, I've helped out friends who have cats and often volunteer and local animal shelters with cats and dogs. At the moment, I have an extremely flexible schedule! I am available most days of the week, and I can shift around the majority of my plans if needed. Because I've grown up around dogs, I'm very experienced with dog care necessities including walking, feeding, crating, etc. Although I have never had a cat because my dad is allergic, I love cats and have helped friends take care of their fuzzy furballs more times than I can count. I love playing with animals, and I'm exciting to meet yours!
About: As a dog mom myself, I understand the desire for your pet to feel loved and well-cared for. I've had my sweet Australian Shepherd, Bailey, for 7 years now. Although she is quirky and weird, she is the most precious thing to me and my family. It is SO important to be able to learn the unique personalities of each animal you encounter. It is my promise to you that I will work with your pet in a way that suits their needs while giving them quality attention--the same way that I would want someone to treat mine. I've been around dogs my entire life and am comfortable with all shapes and sizes, from tiny pups to gentle giants. I also fostered a dog while I was in college, which really taught me how to handle different temperaments and help a nervous dog feel safe and comfortable in a new routine. Whether your pup needs a high-energy game of fetch or a structured walk, I will keep them safe, entertained, and most importantly healthy! I'm currently working part-time as a medical assistant, so weekends are great for me. I can also do more weekdays as my schedule is made and will post my availability as soon as possible on a recurring basis. I live in a pet-friendly apartment, but have great access to safe walking areas in my neighborhood. My apartment is big enough to accomodate dogs of all sizes, and is animal-proofed!
“Sarah Lauren is wonderful with my shepherds, she’s responsive and provides lots of updates during her visits which I appreciate. My dogs are very comfortable with her! She took a lot of time learning about them during our meet and greet and it is clear she really cares about animals! She goes above and beyond expectations. Thanks so much!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs & cats since I was kid and will care for your fur baby like they are my own! I’m an avid walker/runner and happy to help you and your pup in whatever way you need—drop in visits or walks. I have cared for senior pups before and am happy to care for your’s if that’s what you need! I’m a full time PhD student doing research from home with a flexible schedule. I’m hoping to help someone walk their dog or stop in to play with their cat from time to time or on a regular basis if we’re a good fit! Mornings & evenings are generally easiest for me to come by and go on walks, but I can be flexible midday depending on my schedule. I’m currently a Cat Mom who loves to have play & cuddle time when I’m not working (or even sometimes when I am). I don’t have a dog but would take them out regularly on my daily walks! I’m also happy to drop in and visit your pup—for playtime, snuggles, or just some companion time!
About: Customers will love that I love animals and they will be able to feel it! I have had many animals for long periods of my life. My Cagney ( a min pin) passed when she was 16. My Boo ( a black cat) passed also when she was 16. They were the best! My babies are always interesting - all their personalities make them all so different just like people, except that they love you unconditionally. They are always there no matter what! One of my all time favorites was a bulldog I used to pet sit. He was a funny slobbery clumsy little man. Sliming corners of my jeans and my shoes and running as hard as he could to me when I came thru the door and always ready to hang out and cuddle. Fun stuff!!!!! One customer had two cats that required lots of love visits! They loved to play and run all over when u visited. Mommy Suzanne loved pics so my son and I would get them playing and start taking pics. Sweet personalities. My weakness used to be taking in animals when I couldn't afford any more. I try not to do that now - instead I try to place strays that others bring me into other good homes. My brother took in one such cat that I took in as a rescue. Jazz brought him and my brothers wife a lot of happiness over the years! I am glad I took him in and that my brother added him to his household as a forever family!! The pics in my profile are: Thor the bulldog! Thor Thor bully Thor! Rocky the red min pin- big bark ! Little man!(he's older and whiter in this pic) Boomer is a good ole boy that my younger brother adopted. Just a super calm dog that you can only love. Mae Mae the cat - very RARE close encounter with her on my knee!!! #mustescapefromhumans The last one is good mix dog sitting in his front yard after I have taken him for a walk. His name is so different I can't remember how to say or spell it. Protective dog that I kept for my friend Val. Loves his regular walks. I currently work full time but work from home but and can work from your home if house sitting and/or visit when needed thruout the day(s). I follow your lead. Whatever you allow them to do i will allow and will restrict as you see fit. I go by your rules.

“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“Scott and Ellen have been amazing with Kaiser. They kept me updated eveyday with how Kaiser’s stay was going and sent pictures of them playing together and going for walks. They are the best!”
“A1 care all around. Great communication whether it’s through a video or text and picture updates. Love the fact that Memphis feels at home. 10/10 definitely recommend.”
“Zydae was excellent! She was professional, communicative and made us feel so safe leaving our dog with her. She even sent pics and videos throughout the day. Will 100% use her again.”
“Awesome sitter with a wonderful outdoor space for extra exercise! Felt comfortable leaving our two dogs with Lauren while we were out of the country with limited phone and WiFi. Will definitely reach out to Lauren again to pet sit.”
“We had Hannah watch our dog for the first time, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. She was kind, reliable, and communicative from start to finish. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust Hannah to watch our dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”
About: I've been a passionate dog owner since I was 8 years old giving me well over two decades of hands-on experience with canine care and behavior. My background goes far beyond daily feeding and walks. I've personally assisted in delivering two litters of puppies, so I am comfortable with everything from whelping and newborn puppy care to handling unexpected situations with patience and confidence. Whether your pup needs gentle care, active play, or experienced handling, they'll be treated with the absolute highest standard of love and safety in my care. As a stay-at-home mom, my home is active, organized, and full of life! Being home full-time gives me a super flexible schedule, meaning your pet will rarely be left alone. I am available throughout the entire day for frequent potty breaks, backyard playtime, and continuous supervision. Whether you need daytime daycare or overnight boarding, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily family routine, ensuring your dog gets constant companionship and attention. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer a warm, welcoming, and closely supervised home environment where guest pets are treated like family. We have two super friendly Labrador Retrievers who love making new friends and playing host! Because I am home throughout the day, your dog will enjoy frequent leashed outdoor potty breaks, regular walks, structured playtime, and constant supervision. I closely follow all care instructions, sticking strictly to your pet's feeding and medication schedules to ensure a safe, smooth, and stress-free stay.
“She took amazing care of my dog over the span of two days, sent me pictures regularly of her, and I could tell give her plenty of love. When I dropped her off the bed in her kennel was pretty ripped up and the stuffing was everywhere. When I got it back, she had sewn it shut and put all the stuffing back in. Going above and beyond would be an understatement. Highly recommend.”
“Phoenix and Walter had their first stay with Ro last week for 6 days. She offered a nice meet and greet that allowed me to very feel comfortable leaving my pups with a complete stranger. Ro seems knowledgeable and compassionate about caring for animals and has a nice fenced in backyard for them to run and play. My pups didn't even seem excited to see me when I came to pick them up. Hoping to use her services again in the future.”
“Alex was wonderful. Marvel seems so happy with him! He was a great communicator and offered me a lot of flexibility when my travel plans changed a little. Highly recommend and will be using him again next time I’m in town!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am a lifelong pet owner who truly understands that pets are family. I have owned both dogs and cats for most of my life and currently have two Basset Hounds, Cooper (10) and Charlie (5), giving me firsthand experience caring for dogs at different life stages. Because Cooper is a senior dog, I understand the extra patience, attention, and routine that older pets often need. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, monitoring for changes in behavior, and ensuring pets receive the individualized care they deserve. I also have experience caring for pets for friends and family, so I understand the importance of communication and providing regular updates to give owners peace of mind while they're away. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and patient. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to care for your pet the same way I care for my own, with kindness, care, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but I have a one-hour lunch break from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM that allows me to check on pets, provide potty breaks, walks, feedings, or companionship during the day. After work, I am available in the evenings to provide additional care, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. I currently care for my two Basset Hounds, Cooper and Charlie, and understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine. I am committed to making sure pets receive the care, exercise, affection, and attention they need while their owners are away. In my home, my two Basset Hounds, Cooper and Charlie, have access to our fenced backyard through a doggy door, allowing them to go outside as needed throughout the day. They have a consistent routine that includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection and attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding according to their schedule, providing fresh water, taking them for walks or potty breaks, cleaning up after them, administering basic care as instructed, and spending quality time with them. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their routine remains consistent, and I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect that I give my own.
“Lexi did an amazing job watching Patch while I was out of state. Patch can be nervous with new people and has a fairly specific care routine, but Lexi was patient, attentive, and made her feel comfortable. She sent regular updates, photos, and a video, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She took Patch on walks, to the park, and even out for a pup cup. She also went above and beyond by buying toys and treats for Patch to enjoy during her stay. It was clear that Patch was well cared for and had a great time. Lexi was incredibly kind and thoughtful, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Patch again!”
“We are so impressed with Amy and John. Since this was our first time using their petsitting services, they offered an initial meet and greet to help ensure a good fit. Our 2.5 year old Rottie mix stayed with them for 3 days/2 nights and it was clear that she was well-cared for. They were so attentive to our requests for her feeding and care. She's young and still has some puppy behaviors and they were patient and able to correct and manage her appropriately. Really grateful to have found Amy and John.”
