Personalized care for your dog or cat - Heather Glen
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Heather Glen
“So happy we found Marilyn and her family to board my miniature schnauzer for 6 days. They are all love for dogs and Tita felt that instantly since it is all she needs. I was so relaxed during my vacations since I would receive daily updates and pictures. It was also fun for Tita since she even received Puppy cups. Marilyn and the kids took care of our puppy as if she was their own. As I told her, they are all love for animals, definitely very special people with a big heart. Oh since they are going to miss her, we already booked for next month for our beach getaway :)”
“Agus is extremely kind and even allowed my puppy to stay an extra night when I had an emergency. He is super flexible, easy to work with, and a very nice person! Rue always comes home so happy and tired from all the playing with Harry Potter!! Thank you so much Agus— your kindness doesn’t go unnoticed!”
“Emily and William are true dog lovers, and always take such good care of our Molly. They are my go-to dog sitters because of the care and love and attention I know Molly is receiving. I know she’s in great hands when she’s with them.”
“Great place for our dogs! They had a blast hanging out with other dogs and kids during their stay. Loved the communication from Amy and that she frequently sent videos and photos of the dogs! Highly recommend”
“Becky was amazing with Lele! Becky sent me photos every day, communicated clearly, and always replied quickly. I felt completely at ease knowing Lele was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Vanessa was great! She kept us updated the whole time we were away. You can tell she definitely gave him lots of love and attention. Would definitely let her take care of our dog again”
“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”
“Katherine & her family took amazing care of our pup Willow! We even booked with fairly short notice but they were so welcoming and gave Willow lots of love & attention. We will definitely book with Katherine again!!”
“Our girls had a great time with Halle and Thomas (and Molly!) We got plenty of photos and updates on our trip, and both my husband and I agree we will gladly use them again in the future.”
“Crystal was just what we were looking for! She was so caring and we knew our puppy would be well taken care of. She sent us pictures/video each day so we could keep in touch and feel at ease that she was doing well. Thank you, Crystal!!!”
“Dan was an incredible resource for a last-minute request to keep our old girl comfortable during a house party. As the guest list grew, we knew she’d be overwhelmed, so we reached out to Dan. Dan hosted her and from the pictures he sent, she made herself comfortable at his place. It was such a relief to not worry about a party guest leaving a door open; she was safe and relaxed with Dan. What also speaks to his level of care is that when Coco came back home, she had zero anxieties or stress. It was as though she was grateful for having an afternoon to herself.”
“Remi is an anxious dog but seemed to enjoy/was comfortable during her time at Julia’s! Julia sent a ton of pics each day so I was never worried about how she was doing. We’ll definitely be using her again! :)”
“She did a fantastic job looking after our puppy, Thor. She was very patient and treated him like a member of her own family. I’m grateful for all the photos and videos she sent me. 100% recommended.”
“Amanda is really a dog whisperer - so calm and capable with animals. Nothing was difficult or complicated. We got updates every day with pictures, and Luna came back tired having met new friends and had lots of adventures ;-)”
“We left our dog Harley with Tracy again, this time for a week and she was great! Super communicative and send us lots of updates and pics which we appreciated! We are grateful to have found such a a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

Cat caregivers near you - Heather Glen
“Eli did a great job watching my cat. He showed up consistently, sent pictures of the cat, her food/water/litter box and even brushed her! Daisy came out to see him on the first day and she doesn't like strangers!”
“Winter did a great job taking care of our 4 cats. I really appreciate how easy the whole process was and how well Winter communicated and kept us posted while we were away. Thanks so much!”
“Julie provided excellent care for our two Sphynx cats and bearded dragon while we were out of the country visiting family. Finding someone willing and able to care for a bearded dragon can be difficult, but Julie immediately put us at ease with her attention to detail, reliability, and fantastic communication. We always felt informed and confident that our pets were receiving great care. She truly went above and beyond, even taking the time to water our small garden while we were away. We returned home to happy pets and a well-cared-for home, and we would gladly book Julie again for future pet-sitting needs!”
“Sophie was absolutely AMAZING!! It was my first time leaving my cats for an extended period of time, but I never worried because I knew Sophie was taking such great care of them. She sent updates and lots of pictures everyday. My cats loved her! I highly recommend!”
“Brooke was amazing watching our two cats. We received pictures and updates. She took time to play with them and make sure they had their “cat tv” on to watch their birds. I had zero doubts that my babies were well cared for.”
“Brian is incredibly responsive, which has always been very reassuring as a pet parent. We really appreciate him taking care of Chai and giving her the love and attention she needs.”
“Joy took wonderful care of our cats while away. We enjoyed really cute pictures and videos and hope to have her take care of them again next time we're out of town 🙂 Thanks Joy!”

“Jennifer did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Charlie and our four chickens for a week while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond by watering our veggie gardens during a hot spell. Thank you, Jennifer!”
“Miyu went above and beyond in every way for our cats! Normally they are pretty panicked when we leave home for a few days, and one of our cats requires an inhaler twice a day. Miyu handles everything perfectly. When we came home, it was like we went out to lunch instead of leaving the state. She is super responsive and great with even our shy and and skittish cat. Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, and I understand what it’s like to leave them at home and miss them every second, wondering if they’re okay. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats from infancy to end of life, bad babies and anxious angels (a current description of my two cats), every one deserves compassion and love!
“I was worried about leaving my kitten alone for the first time, but Alexandra put my mind at ease! She did a great job checking in on my cat and sent regular updates and pictures. I will definitely be reaching out to Alexandra again when I need another sitter.”
“Katherine fed and checked on my cats at very short notice. She did a great job and left everything very tidg. She even won over my very shy cat! Can't wait to book her again!”
“We found RuthAnne to be an excellent cat sitter. Her hysterical reports and pictures we received daily made us smile and we knew our boys (cats) were in perfect hands. Excellent!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Heather Glen
“Anitra was so quick to respond! She would send me pup updates throughout the day. Seeing Sydney in a calm and loving place made my day easier knowing she was well taken care of and it was plus seeing the dog park right next to her home! Would highly recommended!!”
“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.”
“Adrian is amazing! My pup loves going there; it’s very evident that Adrian takes great care of her and I feel relieved during the work day knowing that she is in excellent hands. Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, attention, and consistency I provide. I don’t just “watch” dogs — I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I care for at one time, allowing for individualized attention, a calm environment, and plenty of affection. In our home, dogs are surrounded by love — including from my daughter, who genuinely enjoys helping care for them and gives them extra cuddles, playtime, and attention. With regular updates, clear communication, and genuine care, every dog is treated like family — never just another booking. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full-time. This allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship—rather than leaving dogs alone for long stretches. I also have a small Yorkie at home, which helps keep our daily schedule consistent and structured, from regular potty breaks to walk times and meals. We’re lucky to have a nearby dog park that we walk to daily, giving dogs regular exercise, fresh air, and social enrichment as part of their routine. This established rhythm creates a calm, predictable environment where dogs can settle in quickly, while I remain available to supervise, respond to needs, and provide plenty of affection throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to minimize stress, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and preferred play or rest times. I treat each home with respect and provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication so pet parents have peace of mind. In both settings, pets are cared for with patience, affection, and individualized attention—never rushed and never treated like just another booking.
“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!”
“My dog Chloe has stayed with David several times, and each time has been fantastic! Chloe loves David and gets excited when we pull into their driveway. She always comes home happy and tired. David sends the best pictures, and Chloe always looks like she is having a blast. I haven't actually used any other dog sitter on Rover because David is just that great.”
“It is an anxiety producing event for me to leave my Coton de Tulear in the care of others. Julie and Greg are patient, well informed about dog’s emotional and behavioral needs, and very gentle. My dog is not familiar with cats and they are helping him get over his fear of them. We have already booked other dates and look forward to becoming regular clients.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Sara, Blaise and their pup Tucker. They were so great to Luna and she never wanted to leave!! Sara was very understanding of time changes and was so easy to communicate with. Luna will absolutely be staying with them again!!”
“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.”
“Can I give six stars?? Evie and Fritz provided the exact care we were looking for. Great spaces for playing and cuddling, steady stream of attention, and pure love for dogs. When our pup got too distracted to eat dinner, they sat with her to make sure she was fully fed. Highly recommend and cannot wait to book with them again!”
“Shawn and Charles were absolutely wonderful! We needed a dog sitter for just a few hours while we were traveling so we could attend a baby shower, and they made the whole experience easy and stress-free. They were friendly and from the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease leaving our dog in their care, and it was obvious our dog was comfortable with them too. They shared photo updates while we were away, which gave us extra peace of mind and let us see that Goose was happy and well cared for. It's clear they enjoy spending time with dogs and treat them like family. We wouldn't hesitate to book Shawn and Charles again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitters!”
“Teri is awesome! My doggo is a little quirky with his behaviors and Teri was great with learning and navigating those. My dog is slow to warm up to people and I think he sniffed out Teri's awesomeness as he warmed up to her quickly and treats her like shes in the pack. She's a great communicator and sent lots of pupdates. Thankyou Teri!”
“Thanks to Jessica for taking care of our two dogs (5-year-old Max and 5-month-old Charlie) while we went to dinner and a show. She was super communicative and sent lots of photos to let us know the dogs were having a good time. She even took our puppy to the dog park to let him burn off some energy. It’s clear both pups had fun!”
“Amanda has been a blessing. I am new to the area and have travel hour and work hours issues that she has graciously accommodated. My pup is also a Cushings and she follows his eating protocol. If you’re in need of a sitter immediately she is very reliable. Thank you Amanda!”
“Javarris is an excellent communicator! We received updates on our dog throughout the day. Nala had a great day with Javarris and his family, especially with their pup. I look forward to work with him again.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Heather Glen
“Heather has been a great walker for my pup! She always takes good care of her and sends pics and updates. I especially appreciate how often she’s been able to come through on last minute requests.”
“Kate was a lifesaver I was having a busy day and the pup was being crazy and needed a walk. Kate came right over and walked her and she was chill the rest of the morning! Thank you Kate!!!”
“Gina walked our dog Barley for an hour every day while we were at work. She sent plenty of pictures and videos. We could tell Barley enjoyed his walks because when we got home from work, he was calm and not antsy. We would highly recommend Gina and looking forward to working with her again in the future!”
“Alysha fulfilled my same-day request and their communication put my mind totally at ease. I appreciate her punctuality and promptness, and am grateful she could visit my boy at home when I couldn’t. Thanks, Alysha! 🐾”
“Yuji took amazing care of our pups and they had so much fun on their walk with him!! Wonderful attentiveness to their distinct personalities, needs and comfort. Can't wait for our next walk with him!”
About: Hello! My name is Ayana, and I’m 25 years old. I have a passion for working with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently work professionally in a dog daycare/boarding environment, where I spend my days caring for dogs in group play settings, monitoring behavior, supporting enrichment activities, and making sure every pup stays safe and has fun! I’ve had animals by my side for as long as I can remember and currently have a kitten of my own who completely runs the household. I also have a senior cat who still lives with my mom and will forever be my first baby. Through both personal and professional experience, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, attentive, and genuinely caring to look after your pets. At this time, I’m offering dog walks and drop-in visits. My work schedule can vary week to week, so I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly to reflect my availability. I can’t wait to meet your pets, learn all their little quirks and personalities, and give them lots of love and attention while you’re away! I plan on providing for your pet as if they were my own while still following all your wants and needs. I will make sure to send pictures and updates!
About: I’ve been a pet mom for over 25 years while raising my five children. Since losing my loyal companion 2 years ago and empty nesting, I am ready to shower love and care to your beloved pet. There’s nothing like the unconditional love of a pet and I can’t wait to meet your furry companion! I am currently a companion to my 90 year old mother and am home every day. I can easily incorporate care for your pet into our very flexible schedule. I can offer walks, play and companionship to your pet and visits to dog parks if they like to play with other dogs. Deck available at home- yard is not fenced in. Beautiful walking area around the lake behind our home.
About: As the current pet parent of two spirited cats, Duke and Louie, I understand firsthand how important it is to find the right person to care for your pets. They are family, and choosing someone trustworthy, attentive, and dependable can make all the difference when you are away. My experience includes caring for my own pets, two cats and, previously, an energetic dog, as well as caring for the pets of friends and family for extended periods. This has included dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I have cared for pets at a variety of life stages, from young, high-energy animals to seniors who benefit from a slower pace and extra attention. I am especially patient with pets that are shy, anxious, cautious, or simply need more time to become comfortable with someone new. I never force interaction; instead, I pay close attention to body language, respect boundaries, and allow trust to build at each pet’s pace. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and commitment to maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I carefully follow instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter-box care, and household routines. I am dependable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing clear communication and regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently on sabbatical, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to pet care. I’m available for weekday and weekend walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, including daytime, evening, and overnight care. I can often accommodate last-minute requests as well. I provide care in your home, where your pet can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, litter-box care, and home security. During walks and visits, I prioritize safe leash handling, secure doors and gates, and awareness of other animals and surroundings. I will also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets short-term and for extended stays for years, and I’ve cared for multiple pets of my own over the years. I’m currently working full time remotely at home, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets either at my home or in the comfort of yours! I have a fenced in yard, cameras, and a cat that is friendly and welcoming. She’d love to keep your fur babies company while visiting! In your home, I’m happy to follow any and all rules set to make you and your baby comfortable.
“Outstanding service great idea of walking a new state park trail. Mia is do happy to have Alex walk her. They have so much fun together. I know Mia can't wait for the next walk.”
About: I love animals, both big and small, furry and not. I currently have an 2 year old lab/Great Dane, a 7 year old corgi/chihuahua mix, 3 cats, a crested gecko, a bearded dragon, multiple aquariums - fish, and chickens! I have experience training my own young pups, and helping older dogs that are on medications and having difficulty getting around. I have pet sat for neighbors, family and friends for the last several years, and their animals are always just as important to me as my own. I want your fur babies (and other pets) to be happy and healthy while you are away, and I will send plenty of photos so you can see their happy faces and wagging tails. I also have experience with turtles, chinese water dragons, snakes, and frogs! CURRENT AVAILABILITY - I am only available early mornings (start time no later than 6 a.m.), evenings (starting at 5 p.m.) M-F and any time Saturday and Sundays (depending on our family plans) **SNOW/ICE - when there is snow and ice at my house, I am usually unable to get out of my driveway, much less make it to someone else's house** I can't wait to meet your animals. . . I will play with them at your house, take them to a nearby park, and/or walk them around your neighborhood- whatever meets your needs. I also enjoy just sitting with an older animals and giving them some sweet snuggle time, if that is what is needed. If your animals like and want interactions with children, my two sons (10, 14) would be more than happy to come with me provide play and snuggle time with me (they will not be with me otherwise). There is nothing more fun and rewarding to me than knowing that your animals are happy and being taken care of and that I am a part of that.
About: I've always enjoyed taking care of animals all of my life. While not being able to own too many myself, I have always opted to taking care of other's pets, whether it be dogs, cats, or something else. I am always happy to see/find new experiences, and am up to the challenge for anything new! I'm taking online classes currently, so my schedule is open after 8AM! If needed slightly earlier, I will try my best to compensate for such a need, as my schedule is very flexible. I live in a townhouse, so I do not have a fenced yard or any of the sort, however, I can provide a quality experience with your pets in attention and exercise!
“Kat is such a patient and friendly lady. She’s great with dogs and very responsible when walking my dog. She even brought a raincoat for my dog on rainy days which is so considerate. I’ll definitely come back again to her if I need someone to take care of my dog in the future. :))”
