“This was our first time boarding our dog, and we were quite nervous. Mitzi invited us for a meet and greet to make sure she would be able to meet Sweet Pea's needs. From first communication until the time we picked up Sweet Pea, her service and communication were excellent. Thank you, Mitzi!”
“Kelli and Jake took such wonderful care of Herschel! I was able to relax on my trip knowing he was in such great hands. Our flight got delayed 9 hours & they were so kind in being flexible and caring for him!”

About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely enjoys being around animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pet, so I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company, I try to match their routine and make things as stress-free as possible. I’m easy to reach, send updates and photos, and I’m always happy to help, even with last-minute plans. At the end of the day, I just want you to feel confident knowing your pet is being well taken care of. I typically work from home during the week and I’m off on weekends so I have plenty of time to tend to the needs of the fur babies. I have a large back yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I can walk your pets as much as you like but I usually walk them 2-4 hours. I have a friendly pup named Yani that will keep your babies company while visiting my home. I’ll treat your pets like family, with love and care!
“Judy watched Bennie for a long weekend while I was out of town and this being the first time I’ve left him with someone for that long, I was nervous. But Judy was incredibly sweet and so was her puppy. Bennie was well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. She has a very nice fenced in yard and lets the dogs come and go as they please. I will definitely be using Judy again!”
“Milika did a great job of taking care of my Frankie boy who’s never been with a stranger before. She even made him some chicken! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates! Would definitely book with her again”
“Brian was awesome. He sent us pictures of the girls and kept us updated on everything. His daughter is the sweetest, and she was also a big help with our girls. We'll use Brian every time we need to go out of town and can't carry them with us. We loved that they didn't have to be in a kennel. He had plenty of toys and they were able to have him around the whole time because he works from home. Can't say enough good things.”
“Rene took such good care of our sweet pup Archie while we went away for the weekend in the mountains. She sent pictures, videos and updates daily. She spent time snuggling him at night and making sure he had playtime during the day. I felt very reassured and was able to relax and have fun while away. She will be my go-to for future trips!”
“Laura and her family were wonderful and treated my dogs like her own. The dogs came home very tired because they had so much fun. Laura sent alot of pictures and kept us updated on the dogs. I am so glad we found her. Our dogs will definitely be going back to Laura’s house. I will tell anyone that asks about dog sitting about Laura.”
“Ahlana, did a fantastic job looking over my fur baby Spadey. He came back like his normal self where in the past with other sitters he came back anxious and bewildered. I wish I could have received more photos or videos during the stay, but that’s minor in comparison to my baby coming back happy.”
“Best sitter ever. I will be using her again and again. My cavapoo adores her. She is so good with animals and I trust her 100% sent me updates everyday while i took my vacation”
“This was my first time leaving Macy while I went away. Macy stayed with Scott and Heather for a week and it was an outstanding experience for both Macy and myself. Scott sent pictures and videos daily, which made my vacation so much more relaxing knowing she was in good company. I couldn’t have picked a better family to give her the love and attention that she needed while I was away. Lots of snuggles and love from the kids as well as Scott and Heather. In every picture I could tell that Macy was happy. She had tons of playtime with the other dogs and came home exhausted from all the fun she had. Scott and Heather were the perfect choice for Macy! I have already rebooked another stay! I highly recommend Scott and Heather for your pets next adventure away from home. Your pet will without a doubt get treated as if he/she never left home! Thanks again Scott and Heather! Macy already misses your family and the love you gave her!”
“THE most WONDERFUL team of pet sitters EVER!!! The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, the pictures , videos and the love the family has shown, their job and with their furry clients are just a few shining examples of her superior work ethic. My dog actions expressed he was very happy there.”
“Luis was wonderful. He communicated every step of the way. He was kind, knowledgeable and accommodating. I made a mistake and he was more than gracious about it. This was my first experience with Rover and I was extremely nervous. However, I will definitely be looking to work with him again.”
“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’ve been around dogs my entire life. From puppies to senior dogs. Ive turned aggressive dogs calm. Understanding your dog and its triggers are key. I will treat your pet like it’s my own. Lots of love and playful stimulation. I’m not just watching your dog, I’m creating a bond. Creating a safe space for your pup to be able to relax and have fun. Building trust with you is step 1. I’m currently working full time but I can move my schedule around as needed. At the moment weekends are best to watch your fur babies. I have an open yard. Not big but big enough to play. I use e collars to help direct playtime and to have control over them as needed. Dogs roam freely in the house when I am home. They go in crate if I am not. Multiple post breaks and plenty of playtime and healthy stimulation
“Elaine and her family were wonderful. They treated my dogs like their own. Elaine handled my rambunctious 1 year old dog, Annika like a professional dog trainer and Goose, my 4 year old, enjoyed home school with her daughters. Petunia, Elaine's family dog is very sweet and gets along very well with other dogs. I will definitely look to Elaine in the future for any pet boarding needs.”

“Haley was awesome with our frenchie and two cats. This was our first time using Rover. She followed all the instructions for our babies. She made sure they received the attention they deserved and sent update photos for every visit. She was also on time every visit as well. She is much appreciated for the care she provided while me and my wife were away on vacation and I highly recommend her to others, and will be using her again in the future.”

About: I’ve always had a special love for cats and understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a quiet environment and gentle attention, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I provide a calm, pet-friendly home where your cat can relax and receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their individual needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, medication administration when needed, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. Having volunteered with animal shelters and cared for pets throughout my life, I understand the importance of patience, safety, and creating a low-stress environment. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s care, and I will treat them with the same love and attention I would give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your cat is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family member!
About: I have been working with animals for as long as I can remember.

I have worked with an abundance of all kinds of dogs, including those who are dead and blind. Having 8 of my own, I can handle almost anything :) I'm currently taking online classes, which gives me a lot of free time that I'd love to dedicate to taking care of your animals.

I am available to make multiple visits per day to care for your pets, including feeding, letting them outside, and taking them on walks. I will also ensure any messes are cleaned up promptly.

About: I have two cats of my own at home, so I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Caring for my cats has given me hands-on experience with daily feeding routines, playtime, and providing plenty of attention. What sets me apart from other sitters is the patience and genuine care I bring to every animal I look after. I’m attentive to details, from following specific feeding instructions to recognizing signs of stress or discomfort in pets. I also know how to build trust with shy or anxious animals, which helps them feel at ease while their owners are away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available when needed. Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I’m happy to adjust my availability to match your pet’s needs. Whether it’s daily check-ins, feeding, walks, or playtime, I can reliably be there at the times you prefer. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I make their comfort and safety my top priorities. When caring for cats in your home, I follow feeding schedules exactly, refresh water daily, and keep litter boxes clean. I’m careful to ensure doors and windows stay secure, and I pay close attention to any changes in behavior or appetite. I also spend quality time with each cat, whether that’s playtime, brushing, or simply providing a quiet presence so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.

“Jessica is an absolute gem! She took good care of Riley and sent lots of photo updates while I had to fly out to California for the day. I really enjoyed seeing them and it made me feel comfortable knowing Riley was in good hands and having fun. Her dog River is very friendly and sweet! Riley and her played well together. This was my first experience using Rover and I had many questions–Jessica was very patient with me and even agreed to a meet and greet prior to make sure our dogs got a long well. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone. She treated Riley like he was part of the family, he was allowed on furniture and got to enjoy movie night with her and her husband. Thank you Jessica!”

About: I have always loved caring for animals and treat every pet like a member of the family. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, that allows me to provide your dog with my full attention and a calm, comfortable environment during their stay. My home features a secure fenced-in patio with pet-friendly turf for outdoor time, and I’m fortunate to have a large dog park directly across the street as well as another dog-friendly area within my neighborhood. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I can tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I have also volunteered with animal shelters, giving me a strong understanding of dog safety and behavior. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide reliable, attentive care for your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently a nursing student and stay at home mom. This allows me to give your fur babies my full attention and lots of love and interactive play! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a clean, safe environment. Dogs have access to a fenced-in patio with pet turf and can enjoy walks or trips to the nearby dog park if approved by their owner. Cats are provided with a quiet, comfortable space, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and enrichment activities tailored to their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide regular updates and photos, maintain feeding and medication schedules, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.
About: I love all animals. I have 2 dogs an American Terrior pit and a shihtzu. They are almost 3 years old and a senior. I have watched my friends animals while on vacation or emergencies. I do have references from them as well. I will care for your babies like I do mine. My dogs get along with other animals even cats. I have a large fenced in backyard that I play with my dogs in with there ball and other toys. I love to play with them and will have a small pool for them to play in while I’m outside never left by there self outside. I’m very protective over animals insuring to keep them safe. I have a set schedule in the morning from 5-6am letting dogs out to go potty and run in my fenced in backyard. Then feed them from 7-8am and feed again around 4-5pm. They do get snacks in between that time. I give my babies slamming skin treats and other treats for dogs only. I have a large fenced in yard and I’m always outside with my babies and anyone else babies to ensure safety. As well as playing with them outside.
About: I have been a life long pet owner. From Dachsunds, Jack Russell Terriers and Chihuahuas I've cared for many breeds. I was taught by my father from a young age how to properly care for a pet. I earned my degree in December and have struggled with finding jobs in that field. As someone who already cares for a dog at home, I'm looking to incorporate pet care into my routine to be able earn a little extra money and to be able to help people who have jobs with their own pet care. I'd like to be able create a safe environment not only for pets to play but for them to learn. Building a connection with an animal is very important. To earn their trust and respect is an important step in this line of work for me. Keeping the pet safe from both physical and emotional harm is a necessity.
About: I have taken care of many dogs since I was a kid. I currently have 4 of my own and treat them as children lol. I currently don’t work a lot so I have plenty of time in my day to assure your pets are getting the time they need. I will make sure your pets are in good hands I will be watching them ensuring their safety first. while also making sure they have loads of fun!
“Cheryl is 10+/10. She is accepting and the BEST in caring for my deaf sweet, sometimes determined Jack Russell mix who has her own mind. We were truly blessed when Cheryl came into our lives.”
About: I've worked in a nursing home and coached youth sport camps throughout my young adult years. I grew up with dogs and I now have two of my own; a 4 year old mini-cockerpoo, who is very playful, friendly, and submissive, and a 2 yr old Australian-labradoodle. I live an active lifestyle and am very affectionate so you can find us at the dog park, on walks/runs, or all cuddled up together! I am available for services every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, usually with 3 days notice. I am very active and like to bring my own dogs to the dog park almost daily, so I aim to prioritize and maximize their activity needs. I live in a house with long leash extensions for my dogs to play in our spacious yard (working on a fence soon). I aim to take them to the dog park daily and they are very playful, friendly, submissive, active, and cuddly so I can take him on both the small and big dog side. I am very engaging, energetic, loving, and caring so I like to give my all to the dogs and create a fun and safe environment for them to exert all their energy and cozy up to me when they’ve got nothing left.
About: My expertise spans across all age groups, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. I understand the specific needs of each age group, whether it's providing gentle care and attention to senior dogs or engaging in lively play and training with puppies. I have a genuine love for dogs. I hope your dog can sense my kindness and affection, that will create a nurturing and comforting environment for them! Although I love playing and making sure dogs under my care are energetic and happy, I also love to relax at the end of the day with treats and cuddles! I do currently work at a Massage Envy, full time, as an assistant manager and esthetician. I know my schedule for 3 weeks out but rarely past that. As I transition into full time esthetician, I will have a more set schedule! I follow the pet's regular feeding, walking, and play schedules as instructed by the owner to maintain familiarity and comfort. I engage in interactive play sessions and provide companionship to alleviate any separation anxiety and keep the pet mentally stimulated. I respect the owner's guidelines regarding furniture use, sleeping arrangements, and any specific rules they have set for their pet.
About: I have always had a passion for animals. As an adolescent I volunteered at the local animal shelter, and as I became old enough I started caring for friends, and family friend’s pets. I provide all the love, care, and attention that your furry friend needs, and wants! All my work and time is dedicated towards pet sitting for the foreseeable future. My availability is WIDE open. I am mostly always by my phone so I am just a call or click away! I have one dog of my own, a 100 pound German Shepherd. I have a large fenced in back yard where he or any other dog can run freely. I have worked with 1 dog, to 7 dogs at a time.. whether that be letting them out directly into a yard or walking them. I am very attentive of their behavior and needs. I have experience with feeding, walking, giving medicine and just simply providing love!
About: I’ve cared for animals for years and currently have 6 cats and 1 dog of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling a variety of personalities and needs. I’ve helped take care of pets for friends and family, including feeding, walking, cleaning up, and giving them attention and playtime. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I’m patient, dependable, and always pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I make sure every pet is treated like my own. I have a very flexible schedule and am available days, nights, and weekends. I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays as needed. I’m reliable and can adjust to your pet’s routine to make sure they get consistent care, attention, and exercise. My dog can be a bit jealous around other animals, so for safety I’m most comfortable providing care in the client’s home, as well as walks and drop-in visits. I always follow instructions closely, pay attention to each pet’s needs and behavior, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also open to overnight stays and prefer to meet beforehand to build trust and make sure it’s a good fit for everyone.
About: I have taken care of dogs under 6 weeks up to senior dogs. Family and friends trust me with their fur babies and always suggest me to their friends! I work part-time so I will have plenty of time during the day to care of your babies! My hours are pretty flexible from week to week. My house has a fenced in yard with a large sheltered kennel. I have two friendly dogs at home to keep other dogs company and an Xlarge crate for all size dogs! I currently work full time and off every other weekend. When you book me for house sittings you can assure your home is safe with the line of work I do.

“Taylor was fantastic!! I needed a last minute savior after my normal person backed out and she was there for us. Great communication and was great with my big fur baby. I plan on using her whenever I need someone from now on.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for all animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level—whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or still learning. I’m attentive on walks, gentle during sitting, and always focused on safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I’m especially mindful with senior pets who may need slower walks, extra comfort, or medication reminders, and I’m patient with puppies who are still learning routines and leash manners. I communicate clearly with owners, follow care instructions closely, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is simple: happy, relaxed pets and complete peace of mind for you. My open availability allows me to be hands-on and fully present, giving your pet(s) lots of attention and personalized care with patience love and consistency. I make sure your pet(s) feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home. I stick to their routine, give plenty of cuddles, play, and gentle attention, and make sure they’re comfortable every step of the way. You’ll get updates, photos, and lots of peace of mind while I care for your furry (or feathery!) family members.

“Kelli and Jake took such wonderful care of Herschel! I was able to relax on my trip knowing he was in such great hands. Our flight got delayed 9 hours & they were so kind in being flexible and caring for him!”
“Gail did an amazing job with our girls. It was the first time they had stayed with anyone while we went away. They were better behaved for her than they are for us. We will definitely book with her again.”
About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely enjoys being around animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pet, so I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company, I try to match their routine and make things as stress-free as possible. I’m easy to reach, send updates and photos, and I’m always happy to help, even with last-minute plans. At the end of the day, I just want you to feel confident knowing your pet is being well taken care of. I typically work from home during the week and I’m off on weekends so I have plenty of time to tend to the needs of the fur babies. I have a large back yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I can walk your pets as much as you like but I usually walk them 2-4 hours. I have a friendly pup named Yani that will keep your babies company while visiting my home. I’ll treat your pets like family, with love and care!
“Judy watched Bennie for a long weekend while I was out of town and this being the first time I’ve left him with someone for that long, I was nervous. But Judy was incredibly sweet and so was her puppy. Bennie was well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. She has a very nice fenced in yard and lets the dogs come and go as they please. I will definitely be using Judy again!”
“Milika did a great job of taking care of my Frankie boy who’s never been with a stranger before. She even made him some chicken! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates! Would definitely book with her again”
“Brian was awesome. He sent us pictures of the girls and kept us updated on everything. His daughter is the sweetest, and she was also a big help with our girls. We'll use Brian every time we need to go out of town and can't carry them with us. We loved that they didn't have to be in a kennel. He had plenty of toys and they were able to have him around the whole time because he works from home. Can't say enough good things.”
“This was my first time leaving Macy while I went away. Macy stayed with Scott and Heather for a week and it was an outstanding experience for both Macy and myself. Scott sent pictures and videos daily, which made my vacation so much more relaxing knowing she was in good company. I couldn’t have picked a better family to give her the love and attention that she needed while I was away. Lots of snuggles and love from the kids as well as Scott and Heather. In every picture I could tell that Macy was happy. She had tons of playtime with the other dogs and came home exhausted from all the fun she had. Scott and Heather were the perfect choice for Macy! I have already rebooked another stay! I highly recommend Scott and Heather for your pets next adventure away from home. Your pet will without a doubt get treated as if he/she never left home! Thanks again Scott and Heather! Macy already misses your family and the love you gave her!”
“Luis was wonderful. He communicated every step of the way. He was kind, knowledgeable and accommodating. I made a mistake and he was more than gracious about it. This was my first experience with Rover and I was extremely nervous. However, I will definitely be looking to work with him again.”
“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!”
“Elaine and her family were wonderful. They treated my dogs like their own. Elaine handled my rambunctious 1 year old dog, Annika like a professional dog trainer and Goose, my 4 year old, enjoyed home school with her daughters. Petunia, Elaine's family dog is very sweet and gets along very well with other dogs. I will definitely look to Elaine in the future for any pet boarding needs.”
“Hilary & Lucas were absolutely wonderful! Cherry had a great time with them and came home happy and well cared for. They were kind, attentive, and kept us updated throughout the stay. We truly appreciate their excellent care and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you!”
“Matt and his family really took care of my German Shepherd Dog, Skye. He knows the characteristics and nature of GSD and he dealt with bigger dogs before so we put trust in him. We made a right choice!! He updated every day about the summary of the day with pictures. He and his family included my dog as their family and I could tell that she was in good hands!! They made my dog feel comfortable and made her feel at home. We will most definitely choose him as our dog sitter. I think Skye will like that too!!!”
“Andrew was great! My dog took an instant liking to him. He communicated with me throughout the weekend and sent me pictures, which I appreciated so much. I will definitely use him again!!”
“Randi is amazing! She was flexible with my schedule, kind, and sent the cutest pictures / updates which I really appreciated. I’m new to the area and very happy to have found a reliable pet sitter that my dog loves.”
“Sonya was wonderful. Friendly and accommodating to our late night drop off a pick-up. She shared at least a photo a day keeping us in the loop that our boy was doing fine.”
