“Amazing lady and absolutely beautiful dogs of her own! I think she may have washed my dog or rinsed him or something without telling me because he smelled odorless (never happens). She really goes above and beyond and has a large yard.”


“Wendy took great care of my dogs while I was on vacation. They stayed in her home, went on walks, and snuggled on the couch. It was nice to know they were being so well cared for while I was away. She is the best!”

About: I have experience with an array of animals. I have personally owned Dobermans, Shih Tzus, a husky, and French Bulldogs! Over the past 3 years I have begun fostering and helping a bit in rescuing kittens and a few litters of stray dogs! Taking care of and helping animals is a true passion of mine! I am currently enrolled in hybrid college. I spend another portion of my time on the farm taking care of things that need done! With my schedule being flexible I have availability to adjust when needed for animal care duties! We have a property of about 46 acres with an electric fence for the horses and a gate. The animals would be housed in the home. Outside activity would vary based off of the animals specific needs! Dogs would be outside at least 5x a day!
“Pandi clearly had a great time with Piper, Bruno, Stephany, and her daughter. I could tell because she was sad to leave ? Steph took good care of our little derp, rescued us when our sitter bailed, and was really good with communication while we were gone. We are probably gonna ditch our old sitter and call steph first from here on out. THANK YOUUUU! -Mike, Olivia, and Pandi”
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 10. My neighborhood frequently go to me when they need a dog/cat sitter for a week and I'm used to going over as many times as needed. I'm patient and have had puppies growing up. This job is exciting for me because I genuinely love and care for all animals. I find that they brighten my day and I'm prepared to help my community take care of their pets. I'm about to graduate and have plenty of free time throughout my weekdays and weekends that I'm not out of town for soccer. I'll have lots of flexible times so I'm confident my schedule will work for many. I have a golden doodle named Stanley that loves to play and run around my yard he is a friendly giant that my neighborhood has all come to love. He loves walks and going for car rides.

Now, I have my own 6 month old puppy named Zeke💕 I'm currently a full-time college student doing this as a side job. Dogs bring me an unbelievable amount of joy and are a great way to relieve some stress from school!! If I'm ever needed inside of your home, I will treat it as though it is my own.

About: I have 26 years of experience caring for pets in shelters, boarding facilities, training environments, and veterinary settings. I’ve had the privilege of working with animals of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I truly enjoy building trust with each one. My approach is calm, patient, and gentle, with a focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my routine, as I work at a veterinary office daily until 5 PM. I am available for evening visits, walks, and drop-in care during the week, and overnight care is also available on weekdays as long as I am able to attend my work shift the following day. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent, reliable, and attentive care. I provide pet care exclusively in my client’s home to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment and daily routine. I follow each owner’s specific instructions closely, including feeding, walking, litter box care, medication administration, and enrichment time. I also monitor behavior and overall wellbeing, paying attention to any changes that may need prompt communication with the owner. My goal is to provide calm, consistent, and attentive care while maintaining the pet’s normal routine.

“This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t have lucked out more. Wendy was a fantastic care taker to our two cats. Her communication was spot on and the updates for each drop in visit were thorough. Can’t recommend Wendy enough!”

“Kristin is awesome! She took great care of Stu and spent some good time playing with him which I know he appreciated. She also brought in an unexpected package we got delivered while we were gone, and helped reset our router when it went down and we lost connection to our cat cam. We couldn't be more thankful for her this holiday season!”

“Jacob took care of our three cats for our week-long vacation, providing daily medication to two of them. He was punctual for his visits and provided updates on how they were. I appreciate his reliability and taking good care of everyone while we were away.”

About: I specialize in feline care, from playful kittens to finicky seniors, and I know that each cat has their own personality and needs. I'm experienced in administering medications, handling special diets, and making even the shyest kitties feel safe and loved. My goal is to give your feline friend the comfort of routine, while you're away with total peace of mind.
“Charity has been amazing. This is our first time leaving our home and cats in the care of someone we didn't personally know, and it has been a great experience. Charity sent photos with every visit, asked pertinent questions, and was so kind to our furkids. We will absolutely be using her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since before I was in elementary school. I have had a dog of my own for 10 years and I have been relied on by friends and family members to watch their animals when they are away.

However you need me to care for your pets, I can do it! I am incredibly patient when it comes to animals and am willing to do just about anything to make them happy, comfortable, and well taken care of.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, and not only that, but I work at a doggy daycare and boarding place, so I feel I have alot of experience. I also once majored in biological sciences pre veterinary, so I have a lot of prior animal knowledge. My highschool was also a career tech school for animals. I currently am working a second job, but only part time so I have a lot of free time. I am fully free during the week, and weekends I work 7-3 usually, but I also live in a home where we all love to take care of animals, so if they were to board there is always someone at home to look out for them. I don’t have a fenced in yard, however I do have a very safe neighborhood, so I am willing to take animals outside on a leash, on a walk, etc. I also have alot of open space in my home for play/ exercise. I have one dog who is a Japanese chin, very tiny very sweet dog, she gets along with anyone and is the most loving girl. I have a cat also, the sweetest cat you will ever encounter. She loves to play with my dog and greet new people who come in our home.

About: I offer more than just pet sitting—I provide personalized, compassionate care for every stage of your pet’s life! As well as clear communication! It is key to great pet care! I prioritize staying in touch so I can get to know both you and your pet to the best of my ability. My goal is to make sure you and your pet feels completely safe, happy, and well!

I also keep communication open with regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I bring over 6 years of pet sitting experience, along with a year of hands-on service dog training. This background has given me strong skills in structure, positive reinforcement, and confidently working with dogs of all temperaments. I’m comfortable reinforcing training for puppies, providing mental stimulation for high-energy dogs, and offering patient, attentive care for seniors who may need a slower pace or extra support. Safety, consistency, and clear communication are always my priorities. In addition to training service dog pups, I’ve trained my own dogs using cues in different languages, strengthening my understanding of how dogs learn and respond to clear, consistent guidance. I don’t just “watch” pets — I actively engage with them. Whether it’s structured walks, playtime, or reinforcing good manners, I make sure your pet feels secure, stimulated, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I can accommodate weekday and weekend bookings and will communicate clearly about any scheduling changes in advance. Every pet deserves patience, consistency, and a safe space while their family is away. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to providing loving care while maintaining clear communication and a secure home environment.
