“This was Rosy’s first stay away from home so we were a little anxious (Rosy is our 1 year old mini doodle) but Kirsten and her husband couldn’t have been more wonderful and welcoming! Rosy was loved and cared for while we were away for the weekend, and we received text updates and photos that reassured us that she was in great hands! We would highly recommend and cannot thank you enough, Kirsten!”
“Our dogs have stayed with Melissa a few times now and they always have a wonderful time. They are very well cared for and Melissa does a great job of communicating with us daily to let us know how our babies are doing!”
“My senior pup just got home from a wonderful weekend with Patti! He had the best care and we received regular updates and photos. My dog has vision issues among other senior ailments and needs medication at meals. Patti was so patient and helped him navigate the new space, always making sure he was safe. We felt so comfortable with Igor in Patti’s care and look forward to him visiting her again!”
“Thank you Deanna and Maui for letting Remy hang out with you guys!! It’s so nice to not have to worry about how Remy is doing when we’re out of town! Deanna takes such good care of Remy and he has a blast playing with her dog too!”
“Gail was fantastic & brave! We just adopted Bernie from the shelter a few days before a planned vacation...bad timing on our part! Gail was wonderful with him and sent us updates, as I was really nervous about leaving him so soon. She was reassuring and very understanding. I definitely would use Gail for boarding...if she will have him again!”
“Athena is so kind and so compassionate, my dogs loved their time wither her & her family. They loved their new friend Rufus❤️ communication was outstanding, lots of pictures. It was such a comfort knowing how well cared for and loved my boys were while I was away. They were part of her family ❤️❤️❤️”

“Leah was very accommodating and provided updates with pictures of my 1-year-old dog during her stay. I was at ease that my dog was being taken care of while I was out of town. I would rebook again.”
“Kristin and her family were a great fit for our 4pack of crazy. Everyone was happy and even a little tired on the ride home. A clear sign that they had been "living their best life" as fur babies. Highly recommend and will definitely use again in the future.”
About: My name is Grant R., I am twenty six years old. I love all animals, I love to sitter a pet, I sitter for a family friend and I sitter a dog, cat. I dog sitter for my sister dog. I worked at a dog pound, human Society and animal shelter. I walk dogs and play with dogs and cats. I take care of my cats and use to take care of my dog cooper. I took him swimming and walked him. I made cat toys in New Jersey animal shelter. When I worked at the humane society I cleaned the cat litter and walked dogs. When I walk dogs I make them tried. I feed them and give them clean water all the times
About: I come from an animal-loving family and have either owned or looked after any personality a dog could possibly have! Big ones, small ones, needy ones, naughty ones, nervous ones, old ones, lazy ones, you name it! I pride myself on being “that person” that dogs naturally gravitate towards (it runs in the family). My family recently lost the last of our 3 dogs (our 15 year old Puggle), so I am equipped for even the old guys & gals too! Your dog will not just be cared for, they will be spoiled and loved on as my own. I know how hard it is to trust a stranger with your baby, and Ive got you! I'll do anything your dog (or YOU) requires to be more comfortable. Even if you want to FaceTime your dog while you’re away...I won’t judge :). I know boarding places can be scary and stressful for a lot of dogs, and my goal is to provide a reliable, safe, peaceful, fun, and loving environment while you are away. PLEASE READ :) Due to the fact that I have 2 small children, I cannot under any circumstances accept: -Dogs that have never been around children -Dogs that have any specific aggression (towards food, toys, other dogs, etc.) -Pit Bulls/Rottweilers. I realize this is controversial and maybe even unfair, and If I didn’t have small children this would not be an issue, but my kids come first and I have to be selective to protect them. Being that we are caring for dogs we have never met, I cannot take the risk for breeds that could possibly do extensively harmful damage to them in a worst case scenario situation. Again, I love all dogs/breeds and realize these breeds are normally the sweetest dogs, I am just mitigating any and all risk as a protective Mama. I am currently a stay-at-home Mom! I am home every day with the occasional runs to drop my son off at preschool, or attend my own appointments that come up/occasional errands. Although I am home most of the day, I cannot accept dogs that have separation anxiety, as I do have weekly errands/school drop offs/grocery pickups etc. that take me away from the home for a small amount of time. I live in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. I have a partially fenced in yard, but I would not be taking any dogs out without a leash. My back yard is hidden away from the main street and is great for taking dogs out. Rest assured they will have lots of potty breaks and sniffing outside breaks. We are pretty chill here! Once the weather warms up, walks are definitely in the daily schedule if wanted/needed... or just some sunbathing outside for the dogs who love a nap in the sunshine.
“Kelsey was very accommodating with travel issues that resulted in booking an extra night. She shared welcomed daily updates with photos of Oliver’s stay. I will gladly book with Kelsey again.”
“Rikki and her family are super pleasant. She took care of our pup and I trusted her completely. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and experienced caregiver. Thank you so much, Rikki! We enjoyed our vacation and had zero worries. You rock!!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life! I’ve had my own pet sitting business I’m very passionate about pet care. Your pet will be safe here! Between me and my husband we’re almost always home. We do have classes for a few hours during the week. We have pets of our own so we already have a very well set schedule when it comes to them. We can gladly work with any schedule you may already have. I will care for your fur babies like they are my own. I love my pets like my kids they’ll be well cared for here!
About: I have done drop in and overnight care for family member's pets for many years. I am a life long animal lover and have cats and/or dogs my whole life. I also did some volunteer care at an animal shelter while in college. I am a stay at home mom of three (9, 7, and 5 year olds) kids who also love animals so I have the availability to provide a lot of time and attention. I have a fenced in yard in a beautiful country setting and two playmates for your pup. Robin is 13 year old chocolate lab mix, who we rescued from the roadside. She gave birth to 8 puppies about 2 months later and we were able to find loving homes for them all. We also have Emmett, who is a shepherd/spaniel mix that we adopted as a puppy during covid. He can be shy around new people, but loves to play with any dog he has met.

About: Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — and not just the easy ones. I've owned multiple Maine Coons, which anyone who's had one knows is practically caring for a small dog. Between their size, personality, and need for real interaction, Maine Coons taught me that cats aren't just low-maintenance pets — they have needs, moods, and personalities that deserve genuine attention. I currently have three cats of my own, so your pet is coming home to someone who already lives the cat life daily. From the social butterflies to the ones who need time to warm up, I know how to read a cat's energy and give them exactly what they need — whether that's playtime, affection, or simply respecting their space. On top of cats, I've owned dogs, rats, guinea pigs, and more over the years — so no matter what your cat's personality throws at me, I've seen it. Your cat will be in calm, experienced, and caring hands.
“Isis was great with our old and big girl! Our dog has a hard time with our couple of steps and Isis came over to help take her out and in while we were away. She was kind and patient and did what we needed. We are very happy we booked her and will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I have experience house sitting and caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, a gecko, and farm animals such as pigs and goats.

I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I strive to provide reliable, loving care that gives pet owners peace of mind while they’re away.
“Cassie did an absolutely outstanding job with our two bunny boys. We were away for an overseas trip, but her attention to detail and care kept us worry-free! She sent us daily videos and photos where we could tell that our boys were being pampered and loved on. We can’t thank her enough and will definitely be using her again!”
“Eleanor has been AWESOME! We feel so blessed that she is looking after our furry babies when we are away from home. She takes really good care of them and she gives us real peace of mind while we are gone knowing they are being well cared for.”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have been actively caring for them since I was very young. I’m experienced with daily care routines, feeding, litter box maintenance, and giving cats the patience and attention they need to feel comfortable and safe. I treat every cat like my own and always prioritize their comfort and well-being.
About: I’ve cared for a variety of dogs and cats over the last 10 years. I have also always had dogs of my own; currently have 3 beautiful girls. I love all pets, small to big and young to old. Athletic enough for young ones’ energy and gentle enough for seniors’ care. I have a background in pet health care and have also worked at a kennel in the past. Taking care of your animals wouldn’t even be a service to me; my love for them makes it easy. I work full time, but depending on location would be able to do walks or drop-in visits on my lunch breaks. As well as before or after work, if needed. I am available for house sitting pretty much any day of the week with at least 1-day notice. I have adequate knowledge on when a dog may be feeling stressed or threatened and know how to handle the situation accordingly. I can crate your dogs, if required. I do my absolute best to avoid distractions while on walks.

“I was very skeptical to hire outside of family and friends but am so happy I found Shane! Shane scheduled a meet and greet with me at my home to become familiar with my cats and their needs. A week leading up to my trip, he confirmed we were still scheduled to need his assistance, and provided daily updates/pictures while we were away. I cannot recommend Shane enough and happy I've found a trusted pet sitter in my absence. Thank you, Shane!”

“Our pup Maggie was in great hands with Kirsten J. We have never left her alone or have had her boarded with anyone until now. Communication was terrific and Maggie came home happy and exhausted from playing all day long 🙂 we will definitely have Kirsten watch her again in the future.”
About: We have experienced owning a 10 year old bullmastiff, two huskies, and a dog that we rescued from the river while we were kayaking. We consider every dog our child. I work from home for the last 6 years so the dogs have all day to play inside or outside. There is always someone at home with the dogs at all time. I have a fenced in yard and 3 very friendly dogs to keep your dog(s) company. I can also crate your dog(s) if needed. There is also a very nice dog path near my house if you want me to walk them.
“Contacted Leah the morning we needed care for my puppy while we rode the Polar Express. She responded quickly and was able to care for him even with the very short notice.

We enjoyed our trip with the peace of mind that our little guy was loved and cared for❤️”

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve self-trained my own dogs and I’m comfortable reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, leave it, and leash manners (especially helpful for puppies and energetic dogs). I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures who requires medication, so I’m confident with administering meds and supporting pets with special routines or extra care needs. In addition to my own pets, I’ve regularly helped neighbors and friends with pet sitting and daily care. I’m attentive, calm, and safety-focused, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also groom and bathe my own dogs, and while full grooming isn’t typically part of my services, I’m absolutely willing to help if an urgent situation arises. I’m self-employed and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of needs. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and check-ins, including hourly relief when needed, and I can do multiple drop-ins throughout the day. Because I’m home often, I’m also able to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and routine support. Care looks a little different depending on whether I’m in your home or mine, but my top priorities are always safety, routine, and clear communication. I expect to communicate frequently during your pet's visit with me. In my home: For daycare or boarding, I require that dogs are crate trained, since dogs will be crated overnight and anytime I’m not home. I also require up-to-date vaccine records to keep everyone safe. I have two dogs of my own, so I carefully monitor introductions and compatibility. We do have a yard, but it is not fenced, so all outdoor time is supervised and on-leash. In your home: During our meet & greet, we’ll go over your pet’s routine in detail (feeding, potty breaks, walks, medication, etc.). I ask that any important care instructions are also listed in your pet’s Rover profile in writing, so everything is clear and consistent. I’m happy to follow your household routines as close as possible during the visit.

“Echo had such a great stay—we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring, and it was clear she was in good hands. What really stood out was how flexible he was with scheduling, especially when we had an unexpected delay getting back. Instead of adding stress to an already hectic situation, he was incredibly understanding and accommodating, which meant a lot. Echo came home happy, relaxed, tired (which is not an easy accomplishment) and clearly well cared for (honestly, I think she might’ve been a little disappointed to leave her new babysitter 😄). It’s such a relief knowing there’s someone trustworthy and kind to rely on.”

About: Animals have been a constant in my life, and over the years I've owned dogs, cats, rats, mice, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even hatched eggs via an incubator. That kind of variety builds real hands-on experience, a calm comfort around all breeds and temperaments, and a deep respect for the responsibility of caring for another living thing.

Any rooms that are off limits, limit the outside time etc

About: I've had dogs growing up, five of them being German shepherds and the other four being a lab and two mutts and a dachshund, and we've had tons of cats. We currently have two German shepherds and I walk them a ton and I spend a lot of time taking care of them, and then we have a dachshund who I just rescued from the place I work at. The place I worked at does dog boarding/daycare/training. I was a kennel tech so I just took care of all the boarding and daycare doggies. And on the weekends I also took care of all the training dogs when/if the trainers were away. I worked there for over year and loved it, only leaving because I started college and moved away. I have had to deal with so many different dogs and their personalities and I've definitely learned to have a ton of patience with the job. I have been working in general since I was 14. I started at some neighbouring farms, doing farm work so I could ride their horses and earn some money. I then did a couple restaurant jobs and then found the place I currently work at. I have done dog sitting and cat sitting before many times, sometimes for family or friends of family who I don't know but I am happy to help out. The most I have dealt with at one time was seven dogs in total. I have watched people's dogs get trained while at work and I have been trained to use an e-collar and a prong collar so I am able to use those correctly! I really loves my job, it means a lot to me I get to be in that environment and I'm depended on to keep them all safe and happy. And I am a second year student at Muskingum University, I am majoring in Animal Studies in hopes of having an animal conservation related job. I'm a college student and normally drop in between classes and have the rest of the day to tend to pet's. During the summer I am usually employed and work around my schedule At home I spend time walking the dogs mostly and hanging around the house with them. Every client I feel is different in how things are done at their home, so however you take care of your pets I'll follow

About: Hi I have seven years professional animal care experience. I worked for six years at the Animal Hospital at the Crossroads in Carmel, CA, and for one year at the Casitas Hotel for Cats in Los Angeles, CA. Resume available upon request. I am available for overnights, drop-in visits, and walks. I'm available to care for your animal if I am not already booked. Last-minute requests are always considered. My schedule is pretty flexible! I have indoor cats, and I cannot take care of your pets in my home because I already have two cats. But I am happy to come to your home, or even do drop-in visits and walks.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs as long as I can remember! I’ve studied dog psychology and pack behavior as a special interest. I can even do basic grooming for your fur baby. I look forward to meeting you and helping care for your beloved companion(s)! I currently have open availability! Weekdays and weekends are available. Please note that repeat clients get priority. Please message me and we can discuss your specific needs! On walks, I’ll be vigilant and try to make it fun.

I’ll treat your fur baby with care and respect, and follow your regular routines as much as possible so they’re at ease while you’re away.

“This was my first time using Rover (and the first time having anyone outside of family care for my puppy), and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I have a young Doberman with a lot of energy, and Arya was patient, calm, and firm in just the right way—which is exactly what she needs. He took her on a nice long walk, and I really appreciated the videos he sent along the way. They gave me peace of mind and made the whole process so much less stressful. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and confident with energetic dogs!”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. I couldn’t imagine a life without either. Animals bring me joy just like I’m sure they do you. I’ve been a volunteer at many shelters.

I would happily cat sit, dog sit, walk your dog, feed your pets and anything in between! 🐶🐱🤍 I currently have open availability any and every day to help you and your pets out! Let me know when and where and I’ll be there:) I live in a very spacious apartment that is pet friendly. I have a dog park on site. Plenty of room to walk the dog.

If I'm at your place, you let me know what needs to be done and how and it will get done however needed!

“Our dogs have stayed with Melissa a few times now and they always have a wonderful time. They are very well cared for and Melissa does a great job of communicating with us daily to let us know how our babies are doing!”
“My senior pup just got home from a wonderful weekend with Patti! He had the best care and we received regular updates and photos. My dog has vision issues among other senior ailments and needs medication at meals. Patti was so patient and helped him navigate the new space, always making sure he was safe. We felt so comfortable with Igor in Patti’s care and look forward to him visiting her again!”
“Gail was fantastic & brave! We just adopted Bernie from the shelter a few days before a planned vacation...bad timing on our part! Gail was wonderful with him and sent us updates, as I was really nervous about leaving him so soon. She was reassuring and very understanding. I definitely would use Gail for boarding...if she will have him again!”
“Athena is so kind and so compassionate, my dogs loved their time wither her & her family. They loved their new friend Rufus❤️ communication was outstanding, lots of pictures. It was such a comfort knowing how well cared for and loved my boys were while I was away. They were part of her family ❤️❤️❤️”

“Leah was very accommodating and provided updates with pictures of my 1-year-old dog during her stay. I was at ease that my dog was being taken care of while I was out of town. I would rebook again.”

About: I come from an animal-loving family and have either owned or looked after any personality a dog could possibly have! Big ones, small ones, needy ones, naughty ones, nervous ones, old ones, lazy ones, you name it! I pride myself on being “that person” that dogs naturally gravitate towards (it runs in the family). My family recently lost the last of our 3 dogs (our 15 year old Puggle), so I am equipped for even the old guys & gals too! Your dog will not just be cared for, they will be spoiled and loved on as my own. I know how hard it is to trust a stranger with your baby, and Ive got you! I'll do anything your dog (or YOU) requires to be more comfortable. Even if you want to FaceTime your dog while you’re away...I won’t judge :). I know boarding places can be scary and stressful for a lot of dogs, and my goal is to provide a reliable, safe, peaceful, fun, and loving environment while you are away. PLEASE READ :) Due to the fact that I have 2 small children, I cannot under any circumstances accept: -Dogs that have never been around children -Dogs that have any specific aggression (towards food, toys, other dogs, etc.) -Pit Bulls/Rottweilers. I realize this is controversial and maybe even unfair, and If I didn’t have small children this would not be an issue, but my kids come first and I have to be selective to protect them. Being that we are caring for dogs we have never met, I cannot take the risk for breeds that could possibly do extensively harmful damage to them in a worst case scenario situation. Again, I love all dogs/breeds and realize these breeds are normally the sweetest dogs, I am just mitigating any and all risk as a protective Mama. I am currently a stay-at-home Mom! I am home every day with the occasional runs to drop my son off at preschool, or attend my own appointments that come up/occasional errands. Although I am home most of the day, I cannot accept dogs that have separation anxiety, as I do have weekly errands/school drop offs/grocery pickups etc. that take me away from the home for a small amount of time. I live in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. I have a partially fenced in yard, but I would not be taking any dogs out without a leash. My back yard is hidden away from the main street and is great for taking dogs out. Rest assured they will have lots of potty breaks and sniffing outside breaks. We are pretty chill here! Once the weather warms up, walks are definitely in the daily schedule if wanted/needed... or just some sunbathing outside for the dogs who love a nap in the sunshine.
“Kelsey was very accommodating with travel issues that resulted in booking an extra night. She shared welcomed daily updates with photos of Oliver’s stay. I will gladly book with Kelsey again.”
“Rikki and her family are super pleasant. She took care of our pup and I trusted her completely. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and experienced caregiver. Thank you so much, Rikki! We enjoyed our vacation and had zero worries. You rock!!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life! I’ve had my own pet sitting business I’m very passionate about pet care. Your pet will be safe here! Between me and my husband we’re almost always home. We do have classes for a few hours during the week. We have pets of our own so we already have a very well set schedule when it comes to them. We can gladly work with any schedule you may already have. I will care for your fur babies like they are my own. I love my pets like my kids they’ll be well cared for here!
About: I have done drop in and overnight care for family member's pets for many years. I am a life long animal lover and have cats and/or dogs my whole life. I also did some volunteer care at an animal shelter while in college. I am a stay at home mom of three (9, 7, and 5 year olds) kids who also love animals so I have the availability to provide a lot of time and attention. I have a fenced in yard in a beautiful country setting and two playmates for your pup. Robin is 13 year old chocolate lab mix, who we rescued from the roadside. She gave birth to 8 puppies about 2 months later and we were able to find loving homes for them all. We also have Emmett, who is a shepherd/spaniel mix that we adopted as a puppy during covid. He can be shy around new people, but loves to play with any dog he has met.
“Tricia was excellent with our 2 year old Weimaraner Tucker. He has never never been boarded or stayed away from home and tends to be timid or anxious. She sent pictures to let me know he was doing well throughout his entire stay. I will definitely utilize Tricia again, she made me feel very comfortable that our guy was in great hands while we were away.”
“Alicia went above and beyond to take care of our yorkies while we were gone. They gave her a bit of trouble not wanting to go to the bathroom outside but she was amazing in asking questions and communicating every day how they were doing! She sent tons of pictures so we could see how much they were enjoying their stay. She was incredibly kind and I could tell really loves caring for animals! Would definitely book with Alicia again 😁”
“Savanna kept my puppy for a week while I was on vacation. She did a wonderful job keeping me posted with pictures. She was also flexible and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her.”
“Milo seemed to have a great time at Tiffany’s house with her dogs and family :) She was flexible about our drop off and pick up times, which was incredibly helpful, particularly as our pick up time was a bit later in the day! We will definitely use her again !!”
