“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”
“Steve really seems to know dogs! Our covid dog is not accustomed to other dogs or other places. Steve helped us ease her in, got her interacting with his dog Starr and, after we left, introduced her to the other dogs. Nala came back happy, well fed, and tired, probably from playing with the dogs.”
“Mary is fantastic....she is an excellent communicator and great to work with. She took wonderful care of Bailey, sending us pictures and updates daily....we cannot say enough about her care of her clients, both four- and two-legged.”

About: For nearly 20years I’ve been caring for animals of all types. I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Reptiles, and just about everything in between. Family, Friends, Neighbors, Co-Workers and Clients have relied on me to care for their furry family members & I’ve had furry family members of my own my whole life. I have worked with all ages and sizes, and am comfortable with pets with disabilities or medical needs. For the past 16years I’ve cared for people with disabilities as a Direct Support Professional. I am currently doing that as a part-time night shift, so I am available most days and eves, during the week and on weekends! I have loved many forms of my own pets and understand the importance of safety and trust that comes with caring for another’s loved one. I currently plan to do pet walking, play dates, and sitting in your home. May consider overnight stays. May consider boarding on case by case basis. Always open for requests, and again, will consider on a case by case basis.
About: I've had dogs my entire life, but really started taking a lot of responsibility for their care around 12. From small breeds to large, I've loved them all! I have experience with behavioral issues, medication administration, seizures, and other medical issues. I'm a stay at home mom of two beautiful disabled children. We have one cat and one dog. I'm always home and available during the day for boarding. We have nice, big yards and we live in a very friendly neighborhood! I'd also love to help take care of your babes on the weekends, evenings, and occasionally during the week! I have an unfenced but spacious yard. Our home has the capacity to keep everyone separated if needed, but lots of room to be together, too! We have plenty of room for a crate, if that's how your sweet babe thrives, but we also support snuggles during sleep, too!
“Laura was wonderful and took great care of our dogs! She was very diligent and took lots of pics for us, so we were reassured our dogs were happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be using Laura again!”
“We were very nervous leaving our dog but Sheila was very nice and friendly . She even sent us photos of our dog which I really appreciated and she took very good care of ginger . I highly recommend her and plan to use her services again .”
About: I’m a huge animal lover. When I was little, I had a few dogs growing up and was surrounded by my family’s pets as well. I give all animals love and affection. I’m that girl that gets distracted more by dogs than anything else. Your dog is a priority to me. I make sure to walk and keep your pup happy, healthy and well fed. Definitely a few treats on the side. I love taking care of animals and being around them. Dogs and animals alike are like family to me. They deserve all the love in the world. There is plenty of time for me to get out and about with your faithful companion. I will be able to give them long walks and plenty of time to play. In your home, I can play with your dog with their toys and if you have a yard, we can play fetch and lay out in the sun. Here at my home, you can be assured that I will love them just the same, if not more and keep them on their schedules.

“Colleen cat sitted for me again and did a phenomenal job with refilling food and changing the automatic litter box. I will continue to use her services as she really values the health and wellness of her customer’s pets. I will be booking again very soon!”
“Rejon is absolutely lovely! She took great care of my senior Yorkie and left me very detailed reports for every drop in. Will absolutely use her again in the future ☺️”
“Nicole was wonderful! It was my first time away from my furbabies and she made me feel so comfortable leaving them for the first time. She sent updates, pics, and was always happy to answer any questions I had. I would definitely recommend Nicole!!”
“Sam was wonderful! Our schedule kept changing throughout the weekend but Sam was flexible and totally understanding. He took the time to learn about our cat’s medication and was very communicative. Overall, I highly recommend Sam!”
About: I have had cats my entire life and currently have two of my own, so I understand how unique each cat's personality and routine can be. I am very experienced with daily cat care, including feeding, refreshing their water, cleaning litter boxes, and interactive play. My very first pet-sitting job was in third grade, where I cared for a very particular cat owned by one of my mom's good friends. Earning his trust was an extremely rewarding experience, and sparked a lifelong love for cat sitting. I treat every cat as if they were my own. You will receive regular updates and photos so you can have some peace of mind while away!
About: I have always been an animal lover. I grew up with a Labrador Retriever who lived to be 16. Sadly, his health slowly deteriorated as I was in graduate school while living at home, but this allowed me to gain valuable experience with a senior pup. I have always enjoyed horses and horse-back riding, I often volunteered through college at a local stable to get my horse fix! Something about those gentle, giants just speaks to me! I have watched several friends and family members pets at their homes while out of town. I have had friends recommend me to their other friends and family as well. I have demonstrated reliability and integrity. I currently have two cats, Finley and Paisley, and a floppy eared rabbit named Willow. I often bring Willow to work with me; she acts as a therapy rabbit at my place of employment. I also frequently assist my parents with their current rambunctious Labrador Retriever, who I lovingly refer to as my "puppy brother." I assist with walking, bathing, feeding and doing drop ins when they are gone for the day. Currently I do work a full time M-F, 8-4 schedule. However, due to the nature of my job, I have summers off so my availability will be much more flexible towards the end of June. Currently, pet care would have to be in evenings and various weekends. My own pets are spoiled beyond belief and I would do the exact same for yours! My pets are my children, not just animals, and I intend on treating everyone's fur babies as such. For drop ins, I have no problem feeding, watering, changing litter boxes, crating or playing with your pet. For walks, I am comfortable with picking up feces and following leash laws/regulations.
“This was our first time leaving our cats with a sitter, and it was a wonderful experience. From the meet-and-greet, we felt she was a perfect match. She followed our instructions carefully and sent daily updates. We are extremely pleased with her care and will definitely contact her again for any future pet sitting.”
“Nicole was amazing - prompt, loving with our cat, and even brought our mail in when I forgot packages were arriving. She was truly a godsend! Will use her again next time we leave town :)”
“Nicole was responsive, friendly, and easy to work with. It was our first time leaving the cats longer than a day or two, so we were nervous but Nicole made everything so easy. Thanks again!”
About: Hi! I’m Melissa I am a lifelong cat lover. I have grown up around cats my entire life, and currently have two at home (Moxie and Kiki). This has helped me really understand how to properly take care of cats, and also how to understand and read their body language. Cats are amazing pets especially when they are understood, and they all vary with different needs and personalities that I am knowledgeable in.
“Dana was so good with our cats. The daily updates on our babies were thoughtfully written and it helped keep our anxious minds at ease. We were so lucky to find her on a very short notice and couldn’t be more grateful”
“Bonnie is an absolute gem! She’s incredibly kind, caring, and loving with our cats — they warmed up to her right away. We can truly relax knowing they’re in such gentle, capable hands. She makes them feel so comfortable! Go with Bonnie for all your Rover needs!”
About: My name is Michelle and I am a former teacher, now stay at home mom to two babies and one dog. I have always had dogs in my life. Growing up, I had a Sheltie and two rescue Beagle mixes. Currently, I have one sweet pup, a hound named Benjamin who is equal parts lazy, silly, and "follow the nose." As a former teacher, I know how busy life can get. I also know how hard it can be to find someone you trust to take care of your fur babies and I'd love to help. I'm currently available occasional boarding services (check my calendar for availability). I have a large, fenced in backyard. For boarding, dogs MUST be fully house broken, crate trained, and 100% good with children as I have two small children in the house. Not accepting puppies at this time. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play. I have one dog in my home, he is friendly and ready to play (or not play if your dog prefers, Ben's often a lazy boy, too)! I'm able to feed, walk, or crate your dog as requested. Dogs are allowed on the furniture.
“I needed my cat boarded for the day and he accepted boarding her. He was reliable with communication and was able to have my cat boarded and my cat was relaxed when I picked her up. I would definitely recommend for sitting or boarding your pet.”
“Jamie made sure both of my kitties had plenty of food. He stayed for an hour each time. They were warming up to him by the fourth day. He will do what you want him to do to take care of your kitties. Thank you, Jamie”
About: I have cared for cats, dogs, bunnies and fish since I was a child! Your pet will be in good hands with me, guaranteed. I am excited to meet my new friend! I have a part-time career in social services, so Rover fits into the other hours of the day that I am free to work with your pet(s). I like to keep the water bowl full, bathroom breaks every 1-2 hours (or as needed), and food, treats, walks as specified by the pet owner!

About: I have had pets most of my life. I quit my job and started a non-profit, St. Lewis Foundation, which didnt work out, so all the animals in my care became my pets. They were mostly senior and unwanted animals, which is where my heart is. I am unemployed right now, looking for remote work . So I am home all day. I have the time to let your pup out as many times as he/she wants. If they are a little dog I will be right by their side. I am up 6a - 9p. I have 3 senior cats that sleep up high most of the day, so your pup needs to be okay with cats. All pups sleep with me in my king size bed (if they want to). I have a dog bed next to me in my office or a couch in front of a large front window. I have locked screen security doors in case your pup likes to sniff the air. Central AC (I like it cool) and heating. I have many balls and treats (if allowed) and would love to throw the ball a bit. Back yard is not huge but sufficient. All my dogs have passed and I am missing a dog so much but cant commit right now. So let me love on your pup!

About: I have a small dog, an indoor piggy, and a caged bird. I have grown up with pets, and always make sure they are properly taken care of. I love all animals, and strive to provide them the best stay possible. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend with the fur babies!

About: I've always had dogs & cats growing up. Recently, my husband & I rescued a puppy from North Carolina, named Mack. He is the light of our life.

I want to ensure that we form relationships, so that you have peace of mind I currently work full time about 20 minutes from my home, which allows me a greater radius to care for your loved one. I work M-F 8am-4pm (roughly), so I am available for any after work or weekend assistance. I have a fully fenced in yard for my dog to play in. We play ball multiple times throughout the day. He is up to date on his vaccines, and we ensure that he receives any care he might need. I am trained to notice any significant behaviors or concerns, and will address this ASAP.
About: Aside from my own pets over the years, I’ve also provided care and comfort to pets of family and friends. Whether in my home or yours, I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I know how hard it is to find a safe place for our fur babies when we have to travel. Our pittie mutt, Hank, can’t wait to meet your pups! I recently retired after 36 years of teaching and have lots of free time to care for your fur babies. We have a large fenced in deck (and pool for our swimmers). Our 12 acres are not fenced but are cleared for easy walks, on or off lead as desired. Our home sits well off the main road. We’re not opposed to taking pups for rides in our side by side. House trained dogs have freedom in our home. We’re suckers who allow pets on furniture and provide all the love and cuddles needed to make them comfortable. We have plenty of room for crates if your pup is more comfortable in one. In your home, I will follow your house rules. Depending on location, I can come and visit or stay overnight. I can bring mail and packages in for you and take care of your plants. 🪴

With dogs, there will be more going in and out with walks and with cats I will stay in the home to make sure everything is up to your standards.

“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”
“Steve really seems to know dogs! Our covid dog is not accustomed to other dogs or other places. Steve helped us ease her in, got her interacting with his dog Starr and, after we left, introduced her to the other dogs. Nala came back happy, well fed, and tired, probably from playing with the dogs.”
“Alex always does an amazing job taking care of my pup, Archer. Archer always has a great time and is super excited to see Alex each time. I get tons of great photo updates and I know he is always in good hands.”

“Shanea is amazing! She took care of our 6 month old picky labradoodle so well. She’s like his second family and had an awesome time. I would trust her to take care of your fur babies like they were her own.”
About: For nearly 20years I’ve been caring for animals of all types. I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Reptiles, and just about everything in between. Family, Friends, Neighbors, Co-Workers and Clients have relied on me to care for their furry family members & I’ve had furry family members of my own my whole life. I have worked with all ages and sizes, and am comfortable with pets with disabilities or medical needs. For the past 16years I’ve cared for people with disabilities as a Direct Support Professional. I am currently doing that as a part-time night shift, so I am available most days and eves, during the week and on weekends! I have loved many forms of my own pets and understand the importance of safety and trust that comes with caring for another’s loved one. I currently plan to do pet walking, play dates, and sitting in your home. May consider overnight stays. May consider boarding on case by case basis. Always open for requests, and again, will consider on a case by case basis.

About: I’m a huge animal lover. When I was little, I had a few dogs growing up and was surrounded by my family’s pets as well. I give all animals love and affection. I’m that girl that gets distracted more by dogs than anything else. Your dog is a priority to me. I make sure to walk and keep your pup happy, healthy and well fed. Definitely a few treats on the side. I love taking care of animals and being around them. Dogs and animals alike are like family to me. They deserve all the love in the world. There is plenty of time for me to get out and about with your faithful companion. I will be able to give them long walks and plenty of time to play. In your home, I can play with your dog with their toys and if you have a yard, we can play fetch and lay out in the sun. Here at my home, you can be assured that I will love them just the same, if not more and keep them on their schedules.
“Jessica and Matthew were awesome ?! They accepted Lincoln right into their home…Our dog Lincoln, is the epitome of a “golden retriever lap dog”! He is active and playful, but when relaxing he likes to be enmeshed with his caregivers. We were grateful for the funny pics of our boy while in their care! I believe Jessica and Matthew could take care of any breed, because of their competence and genuine love for dogs! Thank you, Lincoln will be back??”
“Nicole is great! Attentive, responsive and clearly loves dogs. She was flexible when my plans suddenly changed and needed to reschedule. She kept me updated with texts and photos throughout Hazels stay which I really appreciate. Thanks Nicole, will book again.”
“Rose was great and very easy to deal with. She took great care of our Griff and he loved playing ball and was tired out. I would definetely reccommend her. Very friendly and appreciative and loves animals.”
About: Ever since I was 5 years old I was taught the responsibility and knowledge to handle dogs and animals of all varieties. I cared for parakeets, doves, fish, chinchilla, kids, many dogs both big and small, rescued and pure bred, and have had many canine friends over the years. I’ll treat your fur babies as lovingly as I treat mine! I don’t mind cleaning them, bathing, walking, feeding, exercising, or any other thing needed to their specifications. I will follow your instructions to the T. I have all the time to give them my full attention and love, and never less. I ensure you, that with me, you’re barking up the right tree! I am open any and all times, I’m looking for any jobs. I I’m not picky about my times and I’m more than happy to accommodate. I always do my very best to follow instructions as perfect as possible. I ask that you write me a note or send me a text telling me what you want me to do, so I can refer back to it.
About: For any and all services I provide I will be seeking guidance from the pet owner for preferred handling as people treat their pets differently (allowed on furniture, leash vs off leash, feeding times, etc.) Most of my pet sitting experience has been at their home and i have cared for up to four dogs and two cats (plus chickens and fish). I have also babysat for a cat and a few different dogs at my place. I enjoy an active lifestyle and live near state lands so lots of hiking is usually on the agenda (for dogs anyway). I recently put down my aging cat and have found life is lonely without him, but I am not ready to replace him just yet. Rover seems like a great way to get my fix and earn some extra money along the way. I work full time Monday through Friday and have hour long lunch breaks if midday breaks are needed for your pets. Weekends are for serious play! I live on a low traffic road near a state forest. Access to trails from my back door and a large (unfenced) yard to roam. When staying in someone’s home I treat it like my own with care.
