Highly-rated overnight sitters - Crystal Lakes
“Hatsuki is a wonderful mommy for my kitty, Vivi. She is genuinely compassionate and a caring person for the animals who cannot talk. She gave a very comfortable home for Vivi during her stay. Thank you, Hatsuki, for all you have done to me and my kitty. Vivi said she was happy to have met you, and looking forward to meeting with you again. Many thanks for your kindness. Makiko”
“Ashleigh & Bill took superior care of our golden retrievers! Absolutely top-notch! From the initial meeting with their dog Tucker, to the pictures & text updates, to wrapping up the visit; Ashleigh and Bill showed kindness & care. They truly opened thier home to our pups and they treated them like family. We highly recommend their care & services.”
“Tami was wonderful with our poodle! She was good at communicating with us during our time away, and it was reassuring coming home to an unstressed dog. Thank you, Tami! Hopefully Tami will allow us to share our dog with her again.”
“Maggie loved staying with Lisa. She came back home clearly happy and well. Got daily reports and pictures. She was very professional and kind. Definitely will take Maggie back when needed.”
“Nate and Whitney did an amazing job watching Mac! They sent many updates and pictures of how Mac was doing while he stayed with them. When I picked him up the next day he was exhausted so it is safe to say he had a blast staying with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“This was the second time Amber has hosted Ollie for us, and just like the first time, the experience couldn't have been better. Amber took great care of Ollie. He played with and gets along well with her other dogs. He was very tired when he got home, which is an added bonus! Definitely recommend Amber K as your Rover Sitter.”
“Lashonna is fantastic. A great meet-and-greet, very accommodating on pick up and drop off, great communication, and most importantly our dog seems very happy with the stay.”
“Kyri was fantastic, lots of communication, wonderful home, great personality, no complaints at all, I dare say Buck wants to go back and have more fun with friends”
“Gregory always takes great care of our pets. I never have to worry when they are there, he gets them all settled in like they are part of the family!”
“Thank for sending so many pictures and keeping us updated! Bucky obviously loves being there and feels comfortable! I still can’t believe he was willing to share his dog bed with your dogs! I love that! I’m glad we have somewhere to take him where he feels that safe!”
“Jessica and Carol were wonderful hosts for Sandy’s overnight visit! They were very patient and loving with her, and made sure she took all the time she needed to feel safe and comfortable. Carol updated us frequently with photos and messages. Sandy is looking forward to her next stay in a few weeks!”
“First time using rover and I couldn’t imagine picking another dog sitter for my dog Spike who absolutely had a great week stay with Karen. I needed a extra day for him to stay on short notice and it was no problem for her to make the adjustments. She really is good at this and makes your pet feel at home and as pet owner made me feel very comfortable on how she handles her service. Karen has lots of space for pets and also lots of love for them as well. I know my dog can’t wait to go back, I would recommend her to anyone GREAT SERVICE!!!”
“Katherine and her husband are such wonderful, dog-loving people! I was running out of time to find a pupsitter for three weeks for my special needs pup who wears a doggy diaper and needs his bladder expressed, which is daunting to most, even those who say they have special needs/senior dog experience. After a couple of people fell through, I reached out to Katherine and she immediately agreed to watch him. We did a meet and greet and I knew he would be in great hands! She is trained to care for his needs (worked or volunteered at a vet clinic growing up), sent me photos and videos, and I knew he was enjoying himself. She even agreed to my request to extend one additional night because I knew I was going to be tired after a long drive home. I picked Barkley up and he was chill and comfy like his usual self which makes me very happy. I will definitely request Katherine for overnights if we go out of town again!”
“Amber and Michael did a good job watching our boys. The updates were regular, and one of our boys who loves walks got a walk every day! This was super nice of them and he clearly enjoyed the walks.”
“Jaqueline was an absolute delight! She was so friendly, communicative, and sent plenty of pictures while my dog was with her. It was clear she took good care of him and I highly recommend her!”
“Pietro was absolutely amazing!! Maple is nervous around men but she was so comfortable with him. He sent plenty of pictures and videos and even kept her a few hours longer to help me out since I broke my leg. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Audrey is absolutely the best person I could have found for our girl. She is thoughtful and loving and kept us informed of everything our girl was doing. I could not imagine a more safe, healthy and happy place for her to be.”

“Had Kendall watch over my cat for two weeks. Fantastic job. Always communicated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Make sure to hire when you need someone to look after your animal”
“Anna took great care of my cat who doesn’t do well being left alone. Katy was calm and happy when I returned. Anna kept in touch and sent pictures. My house was clean when I returned. Anna’s awesome and I highly recommend her if you looking for a cat sitter.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and helped at the local vet clinic growing up. My last dog passed away from heart failure in 2022. It’s a busy time for my sons activities so it’s not a good time to bring a full time dog into our home at this time but would love to help others out. I work full time outside the home M-TH from 8-3 and half day Fridays (occasional Fridays totally free). I am willing to be flexible with week day stays if they can manage being alone during those hours. Our yard is unfenced but I would walk or chain them out depending on owner preference. They would be treated like they were my own.
“Artur is great. He loves cats as much as dogs. He is very conscientious. My cat loves to play with him. Artur sweeps up the litter up and recycles my cans. He saw my desk that I bought still in the box and he put it together for me. He is a Ukrainian immigrant but his English is good. I highly recommend him.”
“I can’t recommend Isabel highly enough! From the moment we first met, I felt completely at ease leaving my fur baby in her care. During my time away, Isabel provided regular updates, complete with adorable photos. She was always prompt in communication, answering my text and sharing insights about how my fur babies were doing. It was clear that she went above and beyond, ensuring that my fur boys were happy and comfortable. When I returned, my cats were calm and content - an obvious sign of the loving care they received. I couldn’t be happier with the service provided, and I’ll definitely be booking Isabel again for future trips! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my fur babies!”
“Maddie quickly won over all of our cats, even the most shy girl of the bunch! She is friendly, communicative, and observant of the pets in her care. I will definitely be booking Maddie in the future because I know our girls will be in great hands with her.”
About: I've fostered several different kittens/ cats over the years and helped find them their forever homes. I have two sweet boys of my own and I foster outdoor cats around the neighborhood getting them neutered when I can and finding them places to adopt them out so they are off the street
“Cassandra does a fabulous job. She really seems like she enjoys her visit with Luca. I very much appreciate what she does and the time she spends with him while she’s in my home.”
“Jayson was great with our high energy Australian shepherd while we were gone. He threw the frisbee with her every day even though it was freezing cold! He was very reliable and easy to work with!”
About: While I love all animals, cats definitely have a soft spot in my heart. I love going around the neighborhood and feeding the stray cats, and even bringing those in who don’t have a home. I also have had a few amazing family cats growing up. I have experience in sitting for cats and all the responsibilities included, like changing litter, administering medication, making sure food and water are both clean/restocked and of course playtime!
About: I have lived with cats my whole life and am very passionate about their care! I have taken care of both my own cats and other peoples cats with complex medication or diet needs. Experience for 6+ years with cats all age and size ranges.
About: I was born a cat and dog lover. I grew up with animals and l am grateful today for my dog and cats l have in my life. They are my therapy with a lot of responsibilities. The care included are keeping up with the flea treatments, and heart worm medicine.
“Karen is wonderful. She took amazing care of my finicky kitties. I loved her commentary on each visit and the pictures she took. It made me feel more comfortable with leaving them and knowing they were in good hands so I didn't have to stress about it. Thanks so much to Karen!!!!”
About: Hi there, my name is Bella! I have experience working in at an animal clinic as a vet assistant and am currently working at an animal shelter. I was also in a Career Tech school for Veterinary Science for 2 years! I have a 2 year old Aussie named Kai and a 1 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Lou. I have fostered many dogs in the past and have always had a passion for all animals! My goal in life is to continue my education in animal welfare and one day open my own rescue and boarding facility! I work 4 days a week but can check in before and after work! The 3 days I am off I can come whenever you need me! I will always keep an eye on your fur babies and will treat them like my own while they are in my care. Whether it is feeding plans, meds, play, or potty time, I will make sure all their needs are met!
“Katherine was amazing while my fiancé and I were out on vacation. I had never been away from Bonfire for more than 2, maybe 3 nights max since getting him in January. Seeing the photos and videos sent by Katherine showing him eating, playing, and adjusting to his new litter box were such a huge help in comforting us while away. I highly recommend her in caring for your pet and home should you need help last minute!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Crystal Lakes
“Used Katherine when we travelled from NY to Ohio with our coonhound. Needed a sitter while we were busy with a family event. Very friendly dog loving home with good fenced yard. If we come back will use again”
About: I have spent a lifetime caring for my own pets as well as rescuing animals. I think pets are an extremely important part of my livelihood and good mental health so I understand that your pet is an integral part of your family as well. I also understand that I am a guest in your pets home and will treat your home with the utmost respect and privacy. I am a mom, a wife and an Air Force veteran and I understand that schedules change due to work, family needs, and sickness. Being a stay at home mom with school age children allows me to be flexible and reliable. I also received my OH-EMT Intermediate medic training at WPAFB while serving in the military. I am very comfortable administering medications and any treatments. As of 2023 I also obtained my Instructor Animal CPR and First Aide Instructor Certification. I am a full time pet care specialist/trainer. I specialize with dogs that have anxiety disorders that can show themselves as aggressive behaviors which I believe are actually unmet needs. Starting April 4, 2024 we begin construction on a fenced in yard so we can provide day training/daycare while you are at work and boarding!
About: I have cared for dogs for about 9 years now. Anywhere from my own dogs to family or friends. I have always loved dogs. I occasionally do fundraisers for local shelters to show my support. Your dog is guaranteed to be well taken care of, some may even say spoiled, at my house. I even have my own furry friend to keep them company & worn out. I currently am on leave from work until the end of June, leaving me home 24 hours a day and 7 days a week! Meaning ultimate snuggle time and plenty of hanging out with the doggos. I have unlimited water available for dogs whenever they need. My backyard has a 4-foot tall chain link fence , perfect for dogs to run around and play in as much as they want. My house is very dog friendly—dogs are allowed on the furniture and in any room they please. While I do have a 2 year old daughter at home, I am very consistent with teaching her to leave the dogs alone , even our own. Dogs should have personal space , and a break when needed. Also, your dog MUST be friendly with young children, I do take my own precautions but having a patient/friendly dog is the start.
“Wow! Incredible! I hesitate to leave an awesome review because she was so unlike any other sitter and I want her all for my dog. Hatsuki is on another level. I went to do an introductory meet and greet. Her house was immaculate, very clean and organized. Hatsuki had printed (let me say it again, she printed a sheet!) a profile of clutch so she can make notes about his needs. Again this was just a meet and greet, she also made a thumb drive with a tag that had clutch’s name. This was so she can give me all the pictures she would take including the ones she would send me as updates throughout the day. Thank you Hatsuki you were amazing!”
“Nate & Whitney were amazing! This was my first time using Rover and it was very last minute. The two were so accommodating and my pup, Miller had a blast with them. They sent pictures & updates throughout the time with him. He also got to go on a nice long walk and played lots of fetch. Would definitely recommend and will be using Nate & Whitney again!”
About: For the past 8 years, I have been involved in rescue work and have gained experience fostering dogs and cats of varying ages and personalities. I have also worked at a dog training facility, gaining more experience and knowledge of dogs' body language, needs, and training. From caring for newborn puppies to senior dogs, from fearful to playful, every experience has been fulfilling. I am a proud owner of three rescue fur babies who bring love and joy into my life every day. I will forever be grateful for all the lessons they taught me and continue teaching me every day about love, joy, compassion, appreciation and patience I believe in using positive reinforcement methods and showing patience and creativity when handling animals. I have deep respect for their unique personalities and always strive to ensure their safety and well-being, fostering positive associations and allowing them the freedom to make choices independently Hey there! I recently relocated to Dayton and am looking for opportunities to spend as much time as possible with animals. I am fascinated by animal psychology and behaviour, and by how they learn and communicate. I regularly take my pups to dog classes in the evenings, go on long walks during the day and study online from home I have three beautiful pets to keep your fur baby company, or I can separate them so your paw-friend has peace of mind and personal space. If you prefer to keep your sweet little one in the crate, we will make it a calm, relaxing experience with a yummy food puzzle and classical music in the background. When pet sitting at your place, I can follow your instructions and guidance to make sure the little paws have everything they need. I enjoy spending time teaching dogs good manners and new skills. We practice obedience training with my pups every day, and my cat just started learning new tricks too. If you like, I can create an individual training plan for your pet during their stay, or you can let me know what to work on, and I'll make sure your pup is receiving the training. Any training is welcome, from puppy training to obedience to learning new skills. Change is stressful and scary, so I will make sure your fur baby has enough attention, physical exercise and mental stimulation. I have plenty of interactive toys for busy-minded pups, as well as lots of ideas for healthy, long-lasting snacks, such as food puzzles, KONG toys, lick mats, and sniffle games. And I'm always open to trying new activities if our furry friend has a favourite toy or game
“Arlissa is amazing and takes such good care of our two dogs! She has been our only dog sitter while living in Ohio for the past 4 years. Unfortunately, we have to move to another state and find a new sitter. I don't think anyone will be able to top the quality service she provides!”
“Ezgi was so wonderful! We traveled from WI to Ohio and Ezgi watched our pup for the day so we could attend a family retirement ceremony. She snuggled with Ozzie and made him comfortable while we were away.”
“Aubrey really helped us out with last minute daycare after a death in our family. Our dog Maggie got along well with her two terriers. She updated me with pictures and texts through out the day. Thank you Aubrey!”
“Elya sent plenty of pictures of the stay, my sam looked genuinely happy as he was receiving all the belly scratches he could ask for, was flexible with pickup and drop off day of as I was not sure when I originally booked, she followed my care instruction to a T has been one of my best rover sitters yet will definitely use again! Thanks so much from me &sam again!”
About: I’ve always been exceptionally empathetic towards animals, and I’d like your pets to feel as if they’re on vacation when they’re with me. When I first started rover, an owner saw how well I cared for their dogs, and they became like my second family during college. I still visit after moving away. My family dog is a husky, so I can take on big energetic dogs, and my first dog ever was a Yorkshire terrier with medical problems, so I know how to administer medication if needed (I have a background in the medical field as well). You can have a stress free day knowing your animals are safe and well cared for with me. I will be with your pet the entire stay, so you don’t ever have to worry about them being left alone for long periods of time. I live in a townhouse, so I have two levels, making it larger than your average apartment. I also have a back yard with a lead allowing your dog to run around without being hand held on a leash for every potty break. I also enjoy to walk the dogs around the complex, as they get “new information” and excitement from smelling new experiences around them.
“I boarded my 13 week French Bulldog for a week with Angela. Leaving him was hard but Angela and her sweet children and so good with the dog! She is super flexible and always kept me up to date. Great service and great sitter!”
About: Hello there! My name is Abby and I am a 28 year old exotic animal keeper, as well as cats and dogs. I have several different species ranging from large snakes to chameleons. I have been caring for exotic species for the last five years. I also care for dogs and cats. I’ve had 20 years of dog and cat care experience. I got my first dog, Sophie, when I was just five years old. Throughout the years, I cared for her and many other dogs and cats growing up. Right now, I have four of my own dogs and fourteen cats who are extremely spoiled! When watching your pet, expect them to be spoiled and loved just like they’re my own. I have experience with giving medication to both cats and dogs. I also had a senior cat that required special care and know how to provide care for any senior animal. I can care for your exotic animals in my house, as I have a separate room for my own exotics. Dogs and cats that stay with me will have their own room and set up as well. I also can provide drop in visits for your furry friends. For cats, I provide toys, cat trees, cat beds, and a hammock. I ask that you bring their food, bowls, litter, and litter boxes and any other special items they may need. Same goes for any dogs :) I have worked as a foster for shelters in Columbus for three years as well, so I am used to providing 24/7 care for other animals. I work from home full time, so I am able to have a very flexible schedule. If you need your animal cared for in my home, I am able to provide that service. I get off of work in the early evening, which gives me plenty of time to do drop in visits after work. My yard is fenced in, which is great for your doggie kiddos. I also do not let my cats outdoors, so any cat staying with me will be safe in the home. I have a dedicated room in our home where I house all of my rover guests away from our pets. Small dogs are okay to be boarded in my home, as well as any cats as long as they are litter box trained.
About: Hi! I have had pets throughout my life. I am a dependable, caring animal lover who treats every pet like my own. I understand that pets are family, and I will provide a safe and loving environment for them while you’re away. I am attentive to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs your pet may have. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I will make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for at all times. As an online graduate student I am home most of the day. My schedule is flexible which allows me to plan my day around pet care needs. Regular potty breaks, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. My apartment complex also has a dog park, which I can use for supervised play and exercise when appropriate.
About: I've been relied on to walk, care for, and love not only my pets, but also friends and families. I am here to make peoples lives easier & provide quality care however that looks for your home and pet(s)🤍 I work consistently Tuesday-Thursday evenings. Got a weekend trip? I'm likely to be available and would love to help take this responsibility off your chest! I understand that all dogs are different and may require different care! My dogs are fed three times a day, taken out 3-7 times a day depending on how often people are home. They are allowed on furniture & we have an unfenced yard with rope leashes and kennels if needed for boarding! I prioritize customized care for any animals I look after, anything to make them comfortable!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 I took care of him like he was a human being.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Crystal Lakes
About: Ever since I was a child, I was responsible for the care of a variety of animals, and I mean solely responsible. Growing up (and today), I was the one that friends and family came to for pet sitters and care/training advice. I prioritize following pet care instructions to a tee- I do not cut corners on even the most “meticulous” of care instructions. With me, you can trust that your fur babies will receive the highest quality of care and attention because of my intrinsic love for animals. I do this because I love it, not for the money. Currently, I am a dog walker for three dogs, but I would love the opportunity to care for other people’s furry family members on top of that. I am free to walk dogs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm. I am free to board dogs and cats Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am free to check in on your furry friends at home pretty much whenever, we can work out the details further when the time comes. - For checking in on pets: When in a client’s home, I am very careful to respect their belongings and privacy. I ensure that I only get into spaces that they instruct me to. *Please be aware: I take my boyfriend with me to house visits for safety precautions, he does not meddle with anything of course, he is just there to ensure my safety (meeting with strangers on the internet is scary, lol.)* - For boarding dogs: *Please be aware: For dogs, I can only care for small puppies. Unfortunately, we have a rescue dog who is reactive to adult dogs due to trauma. But, he is gentle as can be with small puppies and any sort of cats. We also have two cats who are dog friendly, so please ensure that your pup is good with cats* Also, I have a fenced in yard and a whole house for your baby to roam. -For boarding cats: We have two cats here, and though they are fairly cat friendly, I do not intend for them to meet client cats so as to avoid unnecessary stress on my and your cats. So, cats will remain separated. Your cat will be allowed to free roam a certain level of the house for hours, then will be switched out to another level of the house for hours (all while being blocked off from the resident kitties.) Of course, constant supervision will be in place for the entirety of their stay. Your kitty will also sleep in a room with me for the night. - For dog walking: Please provide dog poop bags and, if wanted, any sort of treats you would like for the walk. I require meeting dog walking clients in public places for safety precautions. Also, please let me know of any commands, work, or quirks (chasing after animals, dog aggressive, etc.) that you’d like me to keep in mind for our walks.
“Never had to have a dog walker before. Surgery on my dominant hand changed that. i knew i wanted a dependable person who loved dogs. i feel so lucky that Mike was on the list. Great communicator and, despite the truly crappy weather, G got his walks. Personable, dependable, and loves dogs. Highest recommendation.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and helped at the local vet clinic growing up. My last dog passed away from heart failure in 2022. It’s a busy time for my sons activities so it’s not a good time to bring a full time dog into our home at this time but would love to help others out. I work full time outside the home M-TH from 8-3 and half day Fridays (occasional Fridays totally free). I am willing to be flexible with week day stays if they can manage being alone during those hours. Our yard is unfenced but I would walk or chain them out depending on owner preference. They would be treated like they were my own.
About: I have had pets my entire life, always having one dog and two cats. I have raised a kitten that came from a rough background, another kitten with anxiety, a deaf Boxer, a Frenchton puppy and have raised my own kitten in my college dorm. I also volunteer with 4Paws For Ability to train service dogs! I would love to take care of your furry family <3 I am currently on summer vacation from Wright State University, so I am free any time you need me! I can do any type of visit you need me to! I can bathe, walk, play and give your animal basic care. I have my own puppy so walks are something that I take frequently with him and I love to play with the dogs. No parties or any other people will be in your home while you are away and I will send daily updates of your pet!
“She was excellent. Showed up on time, gave our dogs extra special treatment and gave them four days of great interaction while we were traveling from out of town. Can not recommend her enough.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds and ages since I can remember. We had cats growing up and they were the light of my life. Every day I looked forward to coming home and knowing they would be there waiting for me to give them all the love. Starting in high school is when I began to get familiar with dogs as well. Neighbors, friends, and family have all taught me so much and then began relying on me to love and care for their fur babies. Which included anywhere from walking, feeding, grooming, and overall well-being. I've done quite a bit of house sitting recently and have no problem with cleaning when needed as well. I can promise you that your fur babies will be treated as if they are my own. Animals have a special place in my heart, they become more than pets, they become family and I intend to treat and care for them as such. I will be starting classes again soon, which are online so pet care fits perfectly into my daily/weekly routine. I'll be able to create a schedule that works well for school and being able to give the best attention I can to pet care. Currently I am able to care for pets at the client's home if it is for dogs. For cats special arrangements can be made for me to watch them here at my home. I have quite a bit of experience with house/pet sitting for current clients. Starting with a visit to the clients home to go over anything they would like to discuss, meeting the pets, and I also bring some questions of my own. To make sure I have all my bases covered. My main goal is to make sure the clients feel safe with me taking care of not only their pets but also their home. For cats here I have plenty of room for a cat to roam and play with plenty of sunlight and a cat box and food/water bowls if the client does not want to transport their own. We do have an older husky (incredibly friendly and quiet), but my room is on the second floor and has a door that I can shut to keep the downstairs (where our dog spends 99% of his time) closed off if your cat does not like dogs.

About: Hi! I’m a nursing student who loves staying active, and dog walking/drop-in visits fit perfectly into my routine. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and used to caring for others—so you can trust that your pet will be safe and well taken care of. I’m happy to follow your pet’s exact routine, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or giving medications (if needed). During every visit, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, and I always send updates with photos so you feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits, and I do my best to be flexible with scheduling. I also try to respond quickly to messages! I’d love to meet you and your pet 🐶💕 Pet care is something I intentionally build into my routine each week. I keep a structured schedule as a nursing student and nursing assistant, so I plan my days to ensure I’m available, on time, and able to give each pet my full attention. Walks and drop-in visits fit perfectly with my active lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy spending that time with animals. I’m not able to host pets in my home, but I provide dependable care in clients’ homes through drop-in visits and walks. I stick closely to each pet’s routine and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for, with regular updates and photos.
About: ASK ABOUT WHAT DISCOUNTS AND PROMOTIONS I CURRENTLY HAVE Hey, I’m sure you’re wondering “why should I let this guy near my precious animal?” or something or that nature. Well here’s some basic info for you. -I’m a pet owner of 2 absolutely adorable troublemakers that I’ve raised since they were kittens so I can keep animals alive for extended time. I’ve also lived with roommates who had their own pets and have plenty of experience caring for other peoples animals. -I use to work/volunteer at an animal shelter when I was in college for a year so I have a experience working one on one and with groups of animals -Friends and family always remark on how well I get along with animals and how much I absolutely love them more than humans -I am very cooperative/receptive with your pets needs and your wishes! It’s your pet so you’ll know more than me what they need when it comes to their care. Trust me as a fellow pet owner I know! -I’m always happy to answer questions before you’d like to use me so ask away! I work a full time job Monday through Friday, sometimes weekends, and on 3rd shift hours so my availability will be unfortunately restricted to morning hours, however I will try my best to be as available as possible! Sometimes I can work outside my posted availability but no promises, feel free to ask! I do special promotions and discounts as well, ask away! I’ll treat your pet as I would treat my pets. Try and give them a clean and safe environment, with plenty of food and water and a clean litter box.
About: I’ve worked with rescue dogs for several years, which has given me experience with puppies, seniors, and nervous dogs with different needs and personalities. I’m comfortable with giving medications if needed and helping reinforce things like crate and potty training. My main focus is always patience and making sure each pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. I take the time to really learn each pet’s personality so I can meet them where they’re at and build trust at their pace. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy making time for in my day-to-day life! I’m organized and make it a priority to give each pet the attention and care they need while maintaining a consistent schedule. Even with classes starting up in the fall, I’ll still have the flexibility to provide reliable care and keep up with each pet’s routine. When caring for pets, my priority is keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all care instructions and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and care. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience where pets can feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for in the comfort of their familiar surroundings.
About: I have 8 years experience training dogs from puppies to leash reactive dogs. I am comfortable medicating animals and caring for special needs. I saved a client dog recently when I recognized she had eaten one of her toys before coming to stay with me. I rushed her to have emergency surgery and then cared for her after surgery until her parents arrived back from their cruise. I am all about pet care. I am home daily with the exception of a couple varied hours to go out to walk or train dogs. I have 5 fully fenced acres, with a secure fenced backyard just for dogs. My family has 4 dogs of our own, 1 is a livestock guardian who lives outside fulltime(his choice I promise). The dogs and I often go play in the fenced pasture when the horses and chickens are secured. Everyone is always monitored and supervised for safety. Meals are always fed with dogs separated for prevention and safety.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, chickens, geese (baby chicks) since I was 5. Raised on a farm so animals are my heart. Presently I have 3 fur babies and I enjoy them just as if they were my children. I’m responsible, timely and give serious attention to the service details needed to care for your pet I guarantee your pet (s) will be cared for with 100 % love just as my own. It is my goal to alleviate any concerns for your pets while you are away. I can provide references on my character professionalism and work background. Most of all I look forward to meeting your pets and giving them the upmost deserving care you seek. I look forward to having the opportunity to serve you!
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs and cats my entire adult life. I currently actively train my dogs at a local Kennel Club and specialize in deaf dog training. I currently own an embroidery shop and work part time. I work my dogs and take care of my kiddos outside of that time. I always enjoy working dogs and helping others. I have a privacy fenced in yard and am able to use my own transportation to pet sit as well. I am primarily available on weekends but feel free to send me any questions.
About: I have had a deep love for animals my entire life. I’ve always grown up around cats, dogs, rabbits and even reptiles! I also used to raise & show lambs for 4H at the Clark County Fair, so I am used to the routine and responsibilities that come with animals. I have experience working at DogTown where I learned valuable skills on keeping dogs happy and calm during their boarding experience. I know it can be very stressful leaving your animal in someone’s hands, but I’m willing to do everything I can to make sure your pet is well taken care of! 🐾 I work as a part-time EMT (I usually work overnight shifts) and I am a full-time college student, but I have control over which days and times I work. Overall my schedule can be flexible and I am happy to work to ensure your pet is getting the most quality care and attention! Unfortunately, I live in an apartment where animals are not allowed. However, I am more than happy to come to your home for care! While being in a clients home it is my goal to keep it as clean as possible and respect that space! I can also do walking or playtime where the owner prefers to ensure the pet is as close to their normal routine as possible.
About: I have 10+ years of experience in caring for dogs and absolutely adore animals (especially dogs)! I have 2 dogs, one a rescue and they are my entire world, and I would love to bring that energy to your sweet fur baby! I have house sat for several pets over the years as well as checked in, walked, and played with to ensure enrichment and that they don't get lonely! I would love the opportunity to help you care for your sweet creatures! I have a very flexible schedule and am available at most hours of the day and just about any day of the week, to check in on your furbaby! In my home, my dogs are my world. They are played with and walked each day, they have a structured diet, and they are ALWAYS allowed to snuggle on the couch (although I respect if this is not the case in your home)! I greet my dogs and other pets with love and joy. I ensure water is always available, and that they have access to the window so that they can watch outside while I am away. I firmly believe in using all of these when taking care of any pet!
About: I've been relied on to walk, care for, and love not only my pets, but also friends and families. I am here to make peoples lives easier & provide quality care however that looks for your home and pet(s)🤍 I work consistently Tuesday-Thursday evenings. Got a weekend trip? I'm likely to be available and would love to help take this responsibility off your chest! I understand that all dogs are different and may require different care! My dogs are fed three times a day, taken out 3-7 times a day depending on how often people are home. They are allowed on furniture & we have an unfenced yard with rope leashes and kennels if needed for boarding! I prioritize customized care for any animals I look after, anything to make them comfortable!

“Ashleigh & Bill took superior care of our golden retrievers! Absolutely top-notch! From the initial meeting with their dog Tucker, to the pictures & text updates, to wrapping up the visit; Ashleigh and Bill showed kindness & care. They truly opened thier home to our pups and they treated them like family. We highly recommend their care & services.”
“Maggie loved staying with Lisa. She came back home clearly happy and well. Got daily reports and pictures. She was very professional and kind. Definitely will take Maggie back when needed.”
“Nate and Whitney did an amazing job watching Mac! They sent many updates and pictures of how Mac was doing while he stayed with them. When I picked him up the next day he was exhausted so it is safe to say he had a blast staying with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“This was the second time Amber has hosted Ollie for us, and just like the first time, the experience couldn't have been better. Amber took great care of Ollie. He played with and gets along well with her other dogs. He was very tired when he got home, which is an added bonus! Definitely recommend Amber K as your Rover Sitter.”
“Lashonna is fantastic. A great meet-and-greet, very accommodating on pick up and drop off, great communication, and most importantly our dog seems very happy with the stay.”
“Kyri was fantastic, lots of communication, wonderful home, great personality, no complaints at all, I dare say Buck wants to go back and have more fun with friends”
“Gregory always takes great care of our pets. I never have to worry when they are there, he gets them all settled in like they are part of the family!”
“Thank for sending so many pictures and keeping us updated! Bucky obviously loves being there and feels comfortable! I still can’t believe he was willing to share his dog bed with your dogs! I love that! I’m glad we have somewhere to take him where he feels that safe!”
“First time using rover and I couldn’t imagine picking another dog sitter for my dog Spike who absolutely had a great week stay with Karen. I needed a extra day for him to stay on short notice and it was no problem for her to make the adjustments. She really is good at this and makes your pet feel at home and as pet owner made me feel very comfortable on how she handles her service. Karen has lots of space for pets and also lots of love for them as well. I know my dog can’t wait to go back, I would recommend her to anyone GREAT SERVICE!!!”
“Katherine and her husband are such wonderful, dog-loving people! I was running out of time to find a pupsitter for three weeks for my special needs pup who wears a doggy diaper and needs his bladder expressed, which is daunting to most, even those who say they have special needs/senior dog experience. After a couple of people fell through, I reached out to Katherine and she immediately agreed to watch him. We did a meet and greet and I knew he would be in great hands! She is trained to care for his needs (worked or volunteered at a vet clinic growing up), sent me photos and videos, and I knew he was enjoying himself. She even agreed to my request to extend one additional night because I knew I was going to be tired after a long drive home. I picked Barkley up and he was chill and comfy like his usual self which makes me very happy. I will definitely request Katherine for overnights if we go out of town again!”
“Amber and Michael did a good job watching our boys. The updates were regular, and one of our boys who loves walks got a walk every day! This was super nice of them and he clearly enjoyed the walks.”
“Pietro was absolutely amazing!! Maple is nervous around men but she was so comfortable with him. He sent plenty of pictures and videos and even kept her a few hours longer to help me out since I broke my leg. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Paige is awesome! Sent daily updates with photos and took great care of our dog. Our dog also has a fussy diet and a last-minute medication added and Paige handled it all fantastically. Highly recommend!”
“Elya was by far the best dog sitter we’ve found on Rover. She was so intentional to spend time with our dog, taking her on walks and giving her a bath during her stay. It felt like we were dropping our dog off at a friends’ house rather than just a boarding place. Easily 5 stars!!!”
“Amazing dog sitter! I boarded my dog with her for a day and a night and she was great. Aubrey kept me updated on my pup and she seemed to take very well to her. Will definitely use again and recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Treven loved having other dogs to play with and Vanessa provided extra reassurance that things were going well throughout his stay. I hope he is able to stay with her and her family again.”
“I will highy, highly recommend Ezgi to my friends, family and anyone in need of a dog sitter. Ezgi was incredibly welcoming and caring for my pups while I had to go out if town last minute. It is aparrant how passionate she is about animals and that she isn't just trying to make a buck. She provides pictures and updates of my dogs to help me know they were adjusting well. She is certainly my go to sitter from now on.”
