“Justine & Justin did a wonderful job with shandy may! They sent plenty of photos to ease my mind while I was away! Shandy had a blast in the fenced in yard and with their dog Max!,”
“Allyson was amazing! She quickly returned any messages we sent and was SO flexible on drop off and pick up times. Allyson and her family took in our 13 week old puppy while making me feel confident she would he well taken care of. We never felt rushed during drop off time. She allowed time for our Molly to feel comfortable with the other dogs and the new surroundings before I left. Allyson sent me pictures and videos of Molly interacting with the other dogs. Her house is clean and set up perfectly for keeping your dog safe. The backyard is fenced and allows a very safe area for outdoor play and potty place. We will used her again! I highly recommend Allyson!”
“Jaclyn is so kind and welcoming! This was our first time leaving our pug Rosie during a family vacation. Jaclyn updated us and sent pictures/videos which relieved our anxieties and allowed us to have a nice time away. Jaclyn is very attentive and I did not worry at all knowing Rosie was in great hands. I highly recommend Jaclyn. She is wonderful and I’m so happy I found her. I will absolutely have Rosie stay with her again during our next vacation.”
“Dazhi was so amazing with our cat! She was giving us frequent updates and did everything to make she feel comfortable with her. I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future :)”
“We were so happy with Jill and her family taking care of our precious pup! We loved seeing the pictures during the stay and appreciated all of the attention she got! We would definitely recommend Jill to anyone wanting to leave their pup with a loving family instead of a kennel!”
“Chelsea’s care was absolutely exceptional. From the moment Kola arrived, it was clear she was treated like part of the family. Chelsea is kind, attentive, and genuinely loves the dogs she cares for—and it shows in every detail. Kola was happy, comfortable, and clearly well-loved the entire time. I truly don’t think Kola could have been with a kinder, more thoughtful family. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such wonderful hands. I would recommend Chelsea without hesitation to anyone looking for top-tier care.”
“Melissa is the best! She understands dogs and is so patient and caring. She took wonderful care of our rescue pup for a week. I was nervous to leave him for the first time, but he loved it with Melissa and her pack, and everything went great. I will definitely book with Melissa again!”
“Our dog had a wonderful time with Danielle and her family over the Christmas holiday! She made him feel right at home ☺️ We would be happy to have him stay there again in the future!!”
“Another perfect stay with Patricia! My dogs were booked for a short trip, but a small emergency required us to extend their stay by one more night at the last minute. Trish was very accommodating and super helpful! My dogs were always happy in the pictures, and Trish gives great updates about what they are doing or what they enjoy. We are so happy to have Trish and her family caring for our dogs!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left for vacation (and before), we felt completely at ease knowing our boy was in such great hands. They truly went above and beyond—sending updates, reassuring us, and treating him like part of their own family. He had an absolute blast playing with their dogs and came home so happy and well cared for. It’s clear how much love and attention they give to every pet they watch. We are beyond grateful to have found them and will only be using them anytime we’re away. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Kylie, Landon and Moe were absolutely wonderful! 😊They were so great with Teddy and made him feel right at home. They sent so many fun pictures and updates! We felt very much at ease when Teddy was staying with them! We appreciated them so much!!”
“We just moved to town and feel so fortunate we found Nicole to dog sit. Our dog can be very hesitant of new people and scared to death of fireworks. Her whole family went above and beyond to take care of Magic over the 4th of July weekend. Highly recommend”

“Lynn was very good at communicating with us while we were gone. Our cat has a chronic condition and requires medication. She contacted me every day and we discussed what medication and how often. Pippin was in good shape when we got back and I credit Lynn for that.”
“Amanda is awesome and takes great care of my cat while I am out of town. She is very responsive to messages and calls in the Rover app and follows directions to a T. I would recommend her to anyone and will be booking with her again.”
About: I have taken care of cats for a short period when I was younger. I have cleaned the litter box and fed them. In addition, I have played with cats when my friend was fostering kittens. My schedule is pretty flexible, so feel free to reach out!
“This was the first time my partner and I left our cats longer than eight hours since we adopted them. I knew I wanted to make sure they had someone who could not only to feed them twice a day, but provide a presence for them. Jason took care of our cats while we were gone and when we arrived, it was like they hardly noticed we were gone. They were happy to see us, of course, but they were perfectly content and happy when we got home. Jason gave us constant updates and photos during our trip and honestly left our home better than he found it (we gave it an honest go of cleaning before leaving!). We will definitely try to book with Jason again should we take another trip.”
“So delighted to meet Jeri and experience her incredible care for our cats during our recent trip. Jeri was so easy to work with and we knew instantly she would not only become our “go to” for future drop in visits. We had no worries upon departure knowing Jeri was in charge. One of our cats normally hides but with Jeri, there was no hesitation. We HIGHLY recommend Jeri! Five stars for sure!!! Thanks Jeri!!”
“Liz was dependable and followed all instructions perfectly. She also did a great job with staying in communication throughout her time as our pet sitter and left the pet with a clean and sanitary environment on the last day. We WILL be hiring Liz again! Thanks for everything and well done!”

About: I love dogs and cats. I have had them my whole life! My labrador just passed away so I am looking for some pet interaction! I miss her dearly. I have taken care of both dogs and cats with special needs, behavioral issues, and senior pets. I love taking both on walks, car rides, park trips, etc. whatever they like to do!
“Once a day drop in visits 30 minutes: Communication amazing. Very sweet and understanding. My kitties loved her. Enjoyed the photos while I was away missing them 🙂”
“I recently booked Marc to take care of my cat. She's definitely a less than friendly feline with strangers, and he was great with her. She requires meds twice a day and he had zero issues getting her taken care of. I'd absolutely recommend Marc to take care of any animal if you need help.”
“Did excellent work caring for our cat. She interacted well with him and played with him. He loved it and was very comfortable with her. We were most pleased with her conduct.”
“Our cat loves Melissa!! We trusted her completely with our older cat and our home..and she never disappointed. We would be happy to be a reference for Melissa’s character as well as her reliability and care for looking after animals.”
“Gabrielle was absolutely perfect in looking after our 4 cats while we were away. Right before leaving, our youngest cat had some sort of upset stomach. While it quickly resolved and allowed us to carry out our travel plans, Gabrielle was quick to put our minds at ease by keeping us informed of the cat’s eating habits. She also went above and beyond to make sure our more timid cat - who hides from strangers - got her food while hiding behind the washing machine. This timid cat even began to hide less often during Gabrielle’s time stopping in. We returned home to 4 very happy cats. No question Gabrielle is top notch and will put your mind at ease during travel!”

“We needed last minute care for our Golden while visiting Nebraska and Eliza was great! Maisie had a wonderful time playing with other pups and Eliza was great at communicating, especially with such short notice. Thanks again!”
“Alex and Sarah was great for the first day!! They let me set up a meet and greet with there two doggos, George and Milo, beforehand! Received a few photos of Winston (my dog) and George throughout the day! They are going to be besties! I will be using them full time for the future!”
About: Your pup must be respectful of cats please. I completely understand curiosity, just not stalking or chasing. I took so much care of our lab when she was 15 and had Cushings. I definitely have a sweet spot for senior pets. She has since crossed the 🌈. Max is our 5 yr old Husky/Lab mix and he's our sweet big boy. We have love for big and small dogs! We have a huge grassy 6 and 4 ft fenced in yard (we connected to our neighbors 4 ft fence - see pictures) and Max would seriously love a friend to play with or just chill with. My husband and I work from home so one of us will be home all the time. We usually go on a mid morning walk and an evening walk, weather permitting. My kids are 11 and 16 and adore animals. We have a cat, Freddy, who loves Max. We will love your pet like they were our own ♥️ My husband and I work from home full-time. Our dog has separation anxiety so one of us will be home when your pet is here! We have a 6 and 4 ft privacy fence, large grassy backyard. Max gets on the leather couch but not our fabric couch or bed. He doesn't ever try. We wake up early to feed Max at 7 so early mornings is a non issue in our house! We typically go on 2 short walks a day (15-20 min). We're a chill household.
“Rocket had an amazing time! He went straight to sleep as soon as we got home. Reaching out to Allyson was really last minute and she was super accommodating. I got plenty of pictures from his day and it just confirmed how much fun he had. We’ll definitely be bringing him back :)”

“Darcy and her family did an AMAZING job with Nova. They truly treated Nova as their own, I knew she was in great care as soon as we got there. Nova warmed up instantly to them (she has bad anxiety) which was a great sign that she felt comfortable. I will definitely be returning to Darcy and Anney and the rest of their family. THANK YOU!!♥️”
“Jill and her family were so wonderful! They’re incredibly friendly, welcoming people, and took such wonderful care of Max. They sent updates, photos, and made a point of answering all of my questions. I would definitely have Max stay again! ?”
“Hannah is the perfect dog sitter! My Lady Mac went to her for 4 days of doggie daycare and loved every minute of it. She came home happy and exhausted which was great to see as this was our first time having our pup being watched by someone else. Hannah did an amazing job of listening to and following the feeding schedule and watching over to ensure play time was safe for all dogs involved. On top of managing that all, she did a fantastic job of sending pictures and videos of the fun our Lady was having. There was never a question or worry in my mind about how the day was going. When you leave your dog with Hannah, you can be 100% sure that he/she is well taken care of!”
“Jackie was great! Very flexible with my changes in hours and sent pictures/updates throughout the day. You can tell she really loves dogs and takes great care of them while you're away 😊”

Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and cuddles, a calm environment, medication, or simply a dependable person to keep them company, I’m happy to provide personalized care.

“Amy….you were so welcoming to our little Wolfie! I could see from the video you sent how much fun he had there..never imaged he would be so confident and comfortable. I am SO THANKFUL we selected you from all the Rover Sitters we could have chosen!”
“Mrs. Kathy is very caring, hospitable, attentive and reliable! With our first experience, she went above and beyond to accommodate us. Our 11 month old Maltipoo Nyla felt right at home. Mrs. Kathy exudes a very loving ? and warm atmosphere as soon as you walk up to the door. Mrs. Kathy was wonderful with our Nyla, and even texted me updates on how she was doing and pictures of her. Mrs. Kathy also gave me a lot of helpful tips for training and grooming Nyla! We are very blessed to have found Mrs. Kathy for our Nyla! If I could give her 10-stars, that rating still would not reflect the loving, attentive, caring service that Mrs. Kathy provides!”
“Kelly was a wonderful, kind, flexible, easy-going dog sitter. She took care of my dog for a day while we were visiting from out of town, without being able to do a meet/greet before hand. We returned to a happy, calm pup. Thank you, Kelly!”

About: I've had and cared for pets my entire life. I've cared for dogs, cats, chickens, fish, ducks, snakes, a crab, hamsters, and rabbits, no partridge in a pear tree yet! I’m a graphic designer so I work from home. This mean I have very flexible availability to work from my clients home and give their pets a lot of extra love and care throughout the day. I also occasionally work on a farm but wouldn’t be away from my client’s pets for more than 4 hours. I am very thorough with my assessment and questions I ask when house/pet sitting at houses to make sure anything needed is available, or that I may be ready for any issue that may come up. I also LOVE to leave the house I'm sitting at better than I found it. My mother taught me at a young age how incredibly nice it is to return to a very clean house after a trip. It's a lovely gift I truly enjoy to give when I'm finished housesitting.

“Patrick was always on time, and walked each of my dogs for the amount of time agreed upon. I truly believe he loves my dogs as much as I do! I would 110% recommend Patrick and Jillian! I’m home with a broken foot, and Patrick went above and beyond by helping get my trash out and brining up my packages. This is my first time using any app to help with my dogs, and I was a little apprehensive to let a stranger be with my pets, but I’m beyond thankful, grateful, and pleased by my experience with Patrick. He’d take the dogs for their walks while I wasn’t home, and have complete and utter trust in him. Thank you Patrick for your help during my difficult time.”
“Melissa is awesome! I needed a dogwalker last minute and she totally came to my rescue. She was beyond personable and professional, and I know my puppy enjoyed having Melissa come take him out for a midday stroll. She even practiced manners with him!! ?”
About: I view each dog as a unique individual that needs love and care based on their needs and personality. I understand that some dogs need to be tired out in order to relax and some would just prefer belly rubs on the couch for hours. I love spending time outside and going to the gym so I would love to take your pup on a long walk to get their energy out if that's something they need! I do have experience caring for elderly and handicapped dogs as well and I know they require lots of love and patience. I really value the safety of your pet and home as my first priority so anything I can do to accommodate you and your dogs needs I am more than happy to do so. I like to send photo updates to keep you in the loop and will always defer to your preferences and instructions when caring for your pup. I started petsitting when I graduated high school because I wanted to spend more time with animals and I've been able to meet so many amazing people, and even more amazing dogs ;) over the years. I now have 8 years of experience petsitting, from drop in visits/walks, as well as extended stays in homes caring for multiple high energy or handicapped dogs at once. I'm usually the go-to person for my friends and family to take care of their pets since they know I'm always eager to spend more time with animals. Please reach out for any questions!! I work a Monday to Friday 9-5 job, and am very blessed to have a flexible job where I can leave during lunch and or in the afternoon again if need be. For drop in visits/walks I am available during lunchtime, or after 5pm. If I am staying in-home while you are gone I will swing by over lunch to spend time with your pup, take them outside, etc. If they require more times to be let outside I am typically able to leave another time during the day so they have two breaks during the 8am to 5pm timeframe. I am happy to discuss logistics and accommodate to you and your pups needs! While I staying in your home, or if I am just dropping by to take your pup on a quick walk, I am very conscious of safety and privacy. I understand it takes a level of trust to allow someone in your home when you are gone and am especially aware of locking doors behind me when coming and going, as well as respecting your privacy. I air on the side of caution and will always reach out to you directly if any issues were to ever arise!

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter/house sitter (3+ yrs) who is passionate about making pets feel safe and comfortable when I’m watching them! 🤗🐶 I am also an active person, so long walks (5+ miles), farm animal needs, or pet medical needs are totally okay with me.

I understand the trust that my clients give me to watch over their homes and pets is very very sacred, and I am honored to give my clients the best possible experience. I frequently send updates (i.e. pictures/videos of my activities with the pets, weather reports if there are storms, etc.). I am also available by phone 24/7 for clients to reach out. I am flexible and open to completing household tasks (i.e. watering plants, cleaning, etc.) if need be.

“Justine & Justin did a wonderful job with shandy may! They sent plenty of photos to ease my mind while I was away! Shandy had a blast in the fenced in yard and with their dog Max!,”
“Dazhi was so amazing with our cat! She was giving us frequent updates and did everything to make she feel comfortable with her. I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future :)”
“We were so happy with Jill and her family taking care of our precious pup! We loved seeing the pictures during the stay and appreciated all of the attention she got! We would definitely recommend Jill to anyone wanting to leave their pup with a loving family instead of a kennel!”
“Chelsea’s care was absolutely exceptional. From the moment Kola arrived, it was clear she was treated like part of the family. Chelsea is kind, attentive, and genuinely loves the dogs she cares for—and it shows in every detail. Kola was happy, comfortable, and clearly well-loved the entire time. I truly don’t think Kola could have been with a kinder, more thoughtful family. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such wonderful hands. I would recommend Chelsea without hesitation to anyone looking for top-tier care.”
“Our dog had a wonderful time with Danielle and her family over the Christmas holiday! She made him feel right at home ☺️ We would be happy to have him stay there again in the future!!”
“Another perfect stay with Patricia! My dogs were booked for a short trip, but a small emergency required us to extend their stay by one more night at the last minute. Trish was very accommodating and super helpful! My dogs were always happy in the pictures, and Trish gives great updates about what they are doing or what they enjoy. We are so happy to have Trish and her family caring for our dogs!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left for vacation (and before), we felt completely at ease knowing our boy was in such great hands. They truly went above and beyond—sending updates, reassuring us, and treating him like part of their own family. He had an absolute blast playing with their dogs and came home so happy and well cared for. It’s clear how much love and attention they give to every pet they watch. We are beyond grateful to have found them and will only be using them anytime we’re away. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Kylie, Landon and Moe were absolutely wonderful! 😊They were so great with Teddy and made him feel right at home. They sent so many fun pictures and updates! We felt very much at ease when Teddy was staying with them! We appreciated them so much!!”
“We just moved to town and feel so fortunate we found Nicole to dog sit. Our dog can be very hesitant of new people and scared to death of fireworks. Her whole family went above and beyond to take care of Magic over the 4th of July weekend. Highly recommend”
“Anja was fantastic with our yellow lab and took such good care of her while we were gone. She communicated daily and sent pictures and videos. She was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Absolutely recommend her as a dog sitter!”
“Chief had a blast at his first sleep away with this wonderful family. He can’t wait to return! Stephanie sent pictures and updated us throughout his stay. It was wonderful!”
“Sarah & Jason did a wonderful job watching our dog Bruce. They were quick with responses, and even sent multiple pictures and videos keeping us updated on how our fur-baby was doing while we were away.”
