“Karin was absolutely amazing! She opened her home up to my puppy Bentley! She gave exceptional care to him. She went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable! She gave updates throughout the days she kept him and he even interacted with her dog. I give her 12/10 stars. She was absolutely wonderful and trustworthy with my baby boy!”
“Linda was great with my dogs. She sent pictures and videos and even let them stay an extra night after I realized I got my dates wrong. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Can’t thank Minty enough for taking care of Millie when we were gone out of town. Millie was completely pampered, just had a blast. Minty kept me fully updated with pics and messages throughout. Will definitely use her services again & again in future!”
“Meeko stayed with Jennifer for the first time last week and we were so happy with our experience. She has a big beautiful family so there is no shortage of love given to your pet. But between her own dogs and others boarding, Meeko had the best time playing with all of them and Jennifer sent plenty of photos and updates. We will absolutely use her services again I highly recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 16 years old. I watch family and friends pets when they go on vacation at any time when they need a sitter. I am available seven days a week and offer flexible scheduling to meet your pet care needs. I also provide overnight boarding, so your pet will have a safe, comfortable, and caring place to stay while you’re away. I have a fenced backyard and one friendly dog who enjoys having canine companions to play with. If requested, I can crate your dog to help maintain their usual routine or provide a comfortable, secure space during their stay.
“Our pup, Sokka, absolutely loves Ryan which is helpful since our dog has anxiety around other dogs (so kennel boarding is a very stressful experience). We really appreciate that Ryan also takes Sokka on walks and dog park visits if he's able to do so. We highly recommend Ryan for boarding!”
“Hatsuki’s care and compassion shines in everything she does. She had special doggy treats, daily walks, pics, and updates often. My pup is a nervous clinger and she made him feel safe and loved 🤎 will recommend her to anyone!”
“Amber and Michael took great care of my dogs while I was away! They were very attentive to each of my dogs individual needs. I was at ease, knowing my fogs were in good hands! My little dog loved the walks!! I plan on using them again, in the near future!”
“Ashlee was amazing with my 2 very high energy dogs. She sent me pictures and videos during their stay and was so accommodating and flexible! I will definitely be using her next time for my pups stay! I can’t thank you enough! ☺️”
“Bill was great, we felt very comfortable leaving our dog with him for the week. He was able to give our dog his medication, took him on daily walks, and gave him lots of love and attention!”
“Carmen’s home is a ‘family home’ to my fur baby! She never wants to leave Carmen’s home! Carmen is sweet & gentle to her, takes her on walks, watches her do her zoomies in the back yard, and showers her with love, always captured on photos & videos. I’ve been taking my fur baby to Carmen for almost 5 years now and will continue to do so! Highly recommend!”
“Amber and her husband took great care of my little girl. Amber sent a picture of her and informed me of the positive interaction with her dogs. I will definitely utilize her services again in the future. Thanks so much Amber.”
“Rebecca, Ethan, and their lovely family were amazing with our older dog! We are so grateful for their kindness and the care they took to let us know how well our pup was doing with them.”

“Yolena was a life saver and was able to watch my cat even though the request was very last minute. She kept me updated and sent pictures letting me know how my cat was doing. Great communication as well! Highly recommend!”
“Extremely kind and easy to work with. Would give updates on how our cat was doing and last minute agreed to feed our cat when we had to go out of town even though she was already pretty busy. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Britany is absolutely amazing. This was my first time leaving my fur babies and I had no anxiety because they were in her care. Communication is great and she is now my go to for caring for my babies.”
“Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.”
“Jolene is amazing! She took such good care of my cats and left my house looking spotless like I had never left. I received daily very thorough reports and pictures of my very contented looking cats. I almost hate to leave this glowing report of her since she might get too busy and won’t be available when I need her! 😂😉”
“Alyson was terrific with our cats. We really appreciated hearing how they were doing and getting pictures of them. Great at communicating, responsible, reliable, and cared about the critters, even getting the shy one to warm up and the grouchy one to play.”
“Gracie did a fantastic job with watching our senior cat! I could very much tell that Gracie cared about our sweet girl as one of her own!! With the way she went out of her way to make sure our cat was comfortable when she wasn't feeling well, Gracie also had attention to detail for the little things to help make our cat comfortable or provide for all of the little things to make the environment better for our kitty. While also cleaning up and taking care of any accidents or sick spots. Gracie provided detail updates every day and made me feel extremely happy with leaving our cat in her care while we were away! Gracie provided a calm presence, and is a truly caring pet sitter who wants to provide for the animal she is watching as if they were her own baby! Her personality alone makes her a great choice to care for a fur baby!! I highly recommend Gracie and will be using her again in the future when needing a pet sitter!”
“Autumn was super helpful and was great with communication. One of my dogs is a shadow and the other is a senior and they both had their needs more than met. I would trust her with my house and animals again.”
About: I have been able to be graced with the love of cats since the age of 9 and have never been more happy. I have been able to help assist raising them into their senior years and care for them hand and paw. I would love to help drop in and spend time with your cherished kitty cat!

“Loree and Jeff were great with my German Shepard! I cannot say enough good things about this couple. My boy received plenty of exercise (playing ball and walking) which he needs every day. He came home tired every day which to me is a sign of an awesome day for my boy. He also received snuggles and love as well. Communication was excellent via text and several photos were provided every day. Five star rating--that's for sure.”
“Tara and her family provided a wonderful, safe, and caring daycare environment for my two small dogs. She is professional, kind, and thoughtful. I scheduled her right away to board my two dogs for an upcoming weekend trip.”
“Just wanted to thank Michelle and her husband for watching our dog Maggie for 2 days on short notice after a death in our family. Maggie is a recent rescue who does have some separation anxiety. Michelle and her husband were very caring and accommodating. They have a beautiful yard with nice fenced in area for the dogs. She is very knowledgeable in animal care. Michelle kept me updated on how Maggie was doing. Maggie seemed to be very happy when I picked her up. She really liked Michelle's husband who has calm and soft spoken disposition. Than you again Michelle!”

I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old, and for the past 2 years I’ve had the privilege of working as a professional dog groomer. Every day, I get to build trust with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies to sweet seniors and even nervous or anxious pups. Being a groomer has taught me so much about canine behavior, patience, and creating a calm, positive environment where every dog feels safe and loved. I know that every pet is unique, and I take the time to earn their trust while making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone else can be difficult.

I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! 🤍🐾 Pet care is my priority, and I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats both for over six years now and have two pets of my own. One dog and one cat. From going on walks to playing fetch, to just simply hanging out on the couch with your furry critters, I would love to do any and all of the above! I currently offer drop in visits and overnight stays, reach out with any questions! I am currently employed so I am currently unavailable from 12-4pm Wednesday and Friday.

I can do short visits all the way to overnights.
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life and have grown up around both cats a dogs. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs. My dog, Phoebe, was diagnosed with lymphoma in October of 2025, and I helped care for her by giving her medication, bathing her, taking her on multiple walks each day, and making sure she was as comfortable as possible. She passed away in May, and I miss our daily walks and spending time with her. That experience taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of paying close attention to a pet's individual needs. I currently have three cats and regularly care for all of them. I'm comfortable bathing cats, trimming their nails, and recognizing when they need extra attention or a little space. When I was nine years old, my family adopted a kitten that had been abandoned by its mother, and I helped bottle feed and care for him, giving me experience with very young kittens as well. This summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I'm happy to work around your pet's routine, whether they need early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or multiple visits throughout the day. In the fall, I'll only have two in-person college classes, which will still leave me with plenty of flexibility to provide dependable care. I'll always make sure your pet gets the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve, and I'll do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I will take the time to follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite toys, and any special care they may need.
“Bradley did a couple visits with brief walks with my dog Freckles. He did a meet and greet with Freckles and I before hand which was very helpful. He was professional, used the app to send pictures, and was very prompt with responses! I would highly recommend Bradley to anyone, and am happy to know I have someone I trust for any future needs for Freckles!”

Tiffany was also able to tend to Gracie’s special needs, and gave her extra attention and love while I was out of town. Gracie will definitely see her again in the future.”

“Elisa does such a great job when we need a walk and dinner for our dogs. We trust her to take care of our pups, especially because they can be high maintenance and sometimes hard to walk. Love that she sends us pictures too.”
About: **SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY, PLEASE!** 😄 Hi, I am Isabella and I will be a great companion, friend & nurturer to your pets!! I love to spend time with dogs whether that’s playing with them, going for a walk, a park adventure, giving them baths, rewarding them or just hanging out- I meet all their needs at all times. Aside from that, I also keep your home CLEAN & SAFE! I am huge on safety so you will be in good hands with me. I am also happy to do small errands for you- (mail monitoring, etc.) so you can enjoy your time away from home without worries, or be less distracted during your work day. If requested, I am happy to send picture updates to show your dog is living the dream. 😄😉 I have taken care of dogs of various breeds since I was 9 years old. Growing up, I owned a Chow Chow, which was a real treat. I even loved giving her baths! She had 2 litters of puppies-sets of 6 & 8, so I got lots of joy from training & playing with puppies until they were adopted. Since then, I have done pet sitting/house sitting/babysitting for various friends & family over the years, and eventually started using Rover in 2021. The most dogs I’ve house-sat with at one time are 3. I am accustomed to following your pet’s individualized routine. I am very much a dog lover. I don’t currently own one due to apartment restrictions, but greatly wish I could. I like to dog sit because I get so much out of it. I truly LOVE DOGS! I am quite familiar with various breeds and their unique traits. Some of the breeds I have cared for are as follows: Akita, American Eskimo, Australian Shepherd, Bernedoodle, Bichon Frise, Border Collie, Boxer, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Chow Chow, English Bulldog, Frenchie, German Shepherd, Great Dane, Greyhound, Golden Retriever, Jack Russell Terrier, Labradoodle, Labrador Retriever, Pug, Newfoundland, Rat Terrier, Rottweiler, Saint Bernard, Sheltie, Toy Poodle, Welsh Corgi. I cared quite often for a dog with congestive heart failure who needed medicine & needed monitored for his breathing & risk for fainting. I’ve also cared for blind dogs and older dogs with dementia. Some of the dogs I’ve watched take medicine or have dietary supplements and restrictions. I’ve never had any pet emergencies while pet-sitting for others, but did have to take my family dog on an emergency run in her final days which resulted in her passing from old age at 16 years. I mention this to say, if an emergency would ever arise while pet sitting- I am familiar with the process to get the dog help. I have MedVet info saved to my phone so you can rest easy knowing I am prepared for any out of the ordinary circumstances any time of day or night. I also like cats & have done cat sitting on a more rare occasion, including homes with a cat and dog, or only cats. I have lived with a cat who was very close to me in recent years so I am familiar with their behaviors and needs. I’ve also administered medication to a cat with FIV although it is a bit tricky. I hope that I have given you good insight on my pet sitting experience and look forward to being your new dog or even cat sitter if needed! Please feel free to ask questions! I look forward to meeting your pet soon! Thanks for reading my profile. I currently have a very adaptable schedule and i’m currently accepting new clients and bookings at this time, although I am typically in high demand. I can walk your dog around the neighborhood or take the pet to the nearest park, if it’s during a safe time of the day and a more safe neighborhood! I am sure to give frequent bathroom breaks & always take the dog out right before bed time! I will care for your home & possessions like they are my own. I always leave the home in the same condition I arrived to or even a touch more tidy if I am house sitting.

“Can’t thank Minty enough for taking care of Millie when we were gone out of town. Millie was completely pampered, just had a blast. Minty kept me fully updated with pics and messages throughout. Will definitely use her services again & again in future!”
“Meeko stayed with Jennifer for the first time last week and we were so happy with our experience. She has a big beautiful family so there is no shortage of love given to your pet. But between her own dogs and others boarding, Meeko had the best time playing with all of them and Jennifer sent plenty of photos and updates. We will absolutely use her services again I highly recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 16 years old. I watch family and friends pets when they go on vacation at any time when they need a sitter. I am available seven days a week and offer flexible scheduling to meet your pet care needs. I also provide overnight boarding, so your pet will have a safe, comfortable, and caring place to stay while you’re away. I have a fenced backyard and one friendly dog who enjoys having canine companions to play with. If requested, I can crate your dog to help maintain their usual routine or provide a comfortable, secure space during their stay.
“Our pup, Sokka, absolutely loves Ryan which is helpful since our dog has anxiety around other dogs (so kennel boarding is a very stressful experience). We really appreciate that Ryan also takes Sokka on walks and dog park visits if he's able to do so. We highly recommend Ryan for boarding!”
“Amber and Michael took great care of my dogs while I was away! They were very attentive to each of my dogs individual needs. I was at ease, knowing my fogs were in good hands! My little dog loved the walks!! I plan on using them again, in the near future!”
“Ashlee was amazing with my 2 very high energy dogs. She sent me pictures and videos during their stay and was so accommodating and flexible! I will definitely be using her next time for my pups stay! I can’t thank you enough! ☺️”
“Carmen’s home is a ‘family home’ to my fur baby! She never wants to leave Carmen’s home! Carmen is sweet & gentle to her, takes her on walks, watches her do her zoomies in the back yard, and showers her with love, always captured on photos & videos. I’ve been taking my fur baby to Carmen for almost 5 years now and will continue to do so! Highly recommend!”
“Amber and her husband took great care of my little girl. Amber sent a picture of her and informed me of the positive interaction with her dogs. I will definitely utilize her services again in the future. Thanks so much Amber.”
“Rebecca, Ethan, and their lovely family were amazing with our older dog! We are so grateful for their kindness and the care they took to let us know how well our pup was doing with them.”
“My pups were so well loved and happy! I highly recommend Tara! She is very intentional about the care she provides, listening to care instructions and ensuring they’re implemented. Lucky dogs ( or cats) who get her care!”
“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!!”
“Tammy was wonderful! This is our first time leaving our dogs with anyone other than family! We had a meet and greet with Tammy prior to our trip! Mila and Sasha seemed happy and had friends to play with. Tammy was more than accommodating with our care requests and sent us pics and updates during our time away! Thanks again!”
“This was our first time leaving our puppy for a few days and our first time using Rover, so I was really nervous about it, but Karen was amazing! I felt totally at ease after the meet and greet, and our puppy had a blast. Highly recommend!!”
“Rachel is an incredible person. She adored my dog as if it were her own. She ensured that my dog felt at ease in a new environment. I truly appreciate her efforts and highly recommend her services.”
“Derik and Megan are wonderful. They took on a challenge or what I would call a challenge by caring for my little boogie baby. They treated him so well as if he was their own. They kept me updated with pictures and text. I wouldn't ask for a better dog sitter. They made us feel at ease with our baby knowing it was our first time ever boarding him. Thank you again!”
“Lisa was amazing. I received daily updates with pictures, which calmed my nerves since Bailey never said with anyone but family. I will definitely use her again and will recommend her to anybody that needs a dog sitter”
“This was our first time using Rover and Kate was great about sending pictures and letting us know how our Memphis was doing. He must have had so much fun with her kids and their dog as he slept for what seemed like 3 days straight after he got home. :) Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
