“Julie and Barry were great with my pup. She is old, hard of hearing, and anxious. They were very understanding and patient with her. They provided pictures, great communication and a safe place for miss Minnie while I was out of town. I would recommend them to anyone needing sitter services.”
“Kristopher was truly a lifesaver. When my original sitter had to cancel unexpectedly, he stepped in without hesitation, and I honestly could not have asked for a better outcome. He was incredibly communicative throughout Izzy’s stay, sending regular updates and photos that gave me so much peace of mind. As a first-time dog mom, that level of care and transparency meant everything and made the whole experience feel smooth and stress-free. Izzy came home happy and completely worn out, which tells me she had the best time. I would absolutely recommend Kristopher and will definitely be booking with him again!!”
“This was Ziggys first time staying with Nadine and he was so excited and ran up the stairs to her front door. He must have remembered Nadine and her fur babies from our meet and greet. Ziggy seemed so happy after his weekend with Nadine. Her backyard is amazing. We’ll definitely book again!”
“Diana took great care of our dog Sadie. She walked her to the park and sent us pics through out the day. There were other dogs to play with, which Sadie loved. I'll use Diana again!”
“Keelan and Sabrina were lovely! They have been my favorite pet sitters on Rover. Lots of walks, play time, cuddles, and updates of my pup. I would absolutely book with them again in the future.”
“Yet another great stay with Gary and Carol. Waldo can barely contain his joy and excitement when we drive up to their place and goes full steam ahead to their front door. They’re the best!”
“Bonnie is the best! Our Shiba loves going there. We always feel and know that we areeaving him in the best hands! She walks and jas environment that he enjoys! He is ways excited when he sees her! We would 100% recommend her!”
“Kristopher and his partner are so nice and were very good to my dog! You can tell that they genuinely care about each pet they watch and will 100% rebook them in the future.”
“There couldn't have been a better match for my old lab. Jean has the best outdoor/ indoor space, laid back vibe, and attention to a dog that wants to be lazy but comfy and with a human near by. I also love the updates and pics Jean sends to make me feel comfortable about Timber being in a good space. Can't wait for Timber to go back to his new "camp" and enjoy time with Jean.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Kelsi! Will definitely book again next time we need a sitter. She took amazing care of my dogs and communication was great. We got fun little updates and pictures everyday. Thank you!!”
“Veronica was great with our two dogs. She has a calming manner and our nervous border collie when away from home appeared totally at ease in the sweet photos that she sent us. And I’m sure our husky enjoyed playing with her huskies. They all made a good pack. 😊”
“Cassie took excellent care of our puppy, and did a great job of keeping us updated on his activities. She sent great pictures and videos and clearly puts a lot of time and energy into caring for her dog guests. He clearly had a great weekend away!”
“Rocky had a wonderful time and was well-loved. Taken in by Ludo and Indiana Bones like he was one of the pack. Great home with lots of space to run and spots to cuddle. Highly recommend!”
“Liz and her family were fantastic with our Goldendoodle! Communication was great and we felt at ease our dog was in excellent care. We appreciated the attentive touches like an impromptu food pickup (due to miscalculation on our end during his 2 week stay), early morning walks on 85 degree days and some tasty treats. Highly recommend booking!”
“This was our first time using Rover at all, and I was a little nervous leaving my dogs. Susie recognized that and distracted the dogs so I could slip out quickly. We received so many photos of their stay-lots of snuggles and trips to the park. It put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy myself on my trip a bit more, knowing they were in good hands. They came home happy and clean like they’d been given a bath. Would absolutely book with Susie again.”
“Emma and Kenzie are the best! Love that my extrovert pup gets to run + play with some of her same besties from previous stays, and also that she gets to meet new friends as well. She always comes home tail wagging. :) Thank you!”
“Paul and Arnel do a great job of caring for our pooch. They give her not just feeding, treats, and walks but clearly -- from great photos sent daily -- lots of affection and curled-up comfort. As repeat customers, it's a real comfort for *us* knowing we can leave her in such good hands.”
“She was great! Had my Cooper for a week, sent lots of pictures, very communicative! And also gave extra cuddles for I sweet boy! Handled lots of pups with no issues❤️”
“Nancy is so wonderful - a safe and loving temporary home for our very special little guy. We not only felt comfortable knowing Nancy was giving Teddy the best care, but also that they were probably both enjoying each others company while we were away. Teddy came home in one piece and was his same normal, happy self. Thank you so much for opening your home to Teddy, Nancy - we hope for more visits soon!”
About: Hi, I’m Chelsey! Animals have been a part of my life since day one, so I’ve developed a strong understanding of how to care for them and treat them as valued family members. I believe every pet deserves personalized attention and the best care possible, and I strive to make them as happy as they make me. Whether it’s offering extra comfort to a senior pet or keeping an energetic puppy active and entertained, I take the time to adjust to each pet’s unique needs. By caring for them in the comfort of their own home, I ensure they feel secure, happy, and relaxed, maintaining their routine while you're away. As a full-time nursing student, I have classes on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays for about 6 hours each day, depending on my schedule. Outside of class, I spend time studying, but much of my coursework can be done from home, allowing me to be present and provide attentive care for pets. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I am also available during evenings and many weekends, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. When caring for your furry loved one, I always make sure I will give care to them just as I would with my furry loved ones.

“I almost don't want to tell everyone how great she is because I want her all to myself when we need a sitter! Anneliese is a wonderful person first and foremost - not only did our 3 dogs LOVE her, but she is also so polite and considerate. She was happy to get down at their level and play with them on the floor the way they love most. She even offered to vacuum the house if she noticed fur accumulation, but I told her that was not necessary. This will be our new go-to sitter. Love her!!”
“Due to no fault of his own, we learned through this experience that apparently my kitties would rather bond with females. Yet, Amir pulled through, going far and beyond to find that bond. He, on his own, bought toys and treats, trying to coax them out of their shells. He searched our house through and through trying to find our one kitty, who insisted on hiding the entire time he was in our home. If, and when, you are in a situation where you have to leave your animals in the hands of another - for us, this meant traveling of state and really needing someone we could trust to be our best replacements - Amir is your guy! If, and when, we are in need again, we will be calling him”
“Tiana did a wonderful job looking after our cat, including giving him some medications when it was needed. She gave us great updates on how he was doing (and some cute photos) and it was so good to know he was in good hands! She was also very flexible and understanding when it came to having to switch some of our dates around. Thanks!”

“Elena is great and has been taking care of my boys for a very long time. Castle and yuma are big boys with special needs as one is extremely reactive and the other deaf and she handles them both perfectly. She is always on time and my boys love her. Only walker I prefer to use.”
About: I have sporadically taken care of cats since my teens. I've also helped take care of cats for my landlords while they were away. I love cats as well as dogs. Although I've never owned a cat before personally,I do enjoy providing the best care possible for an animal.
About: With over two decades of animal care experience, my journey began as a child caring for our family's English Springer Spaniels and cats, where I discovered my natural affinity for animals. This early passion made me the go-to caretaker for classroom pets throughout my school years. As an adult, I've owned several dogs, including a beloved Boxer who shared 10 wonderful years with me, and currently care for two rescue dogs - a Labrador Mix and a Pit Bull Terrier Mix. Through my extensive volunteer work at a local dog shelter since 2021, I manage the daily care and cleaning for up to 25 dogs, many with complex medical needs or behavioral challenges. My professional pet sitting experience spans over three years with private clients, and I've developed expertise in handling medium to large breeds with high energy and prey drive. I'm equally comfortable caring for shy and timid smaller breeds, reactive dogs, and senior pets requiring medication. My feline experience includes managing a Maine Coon cattery of 10-20 cats, and I've cared for cats in all life stages, from newborn kittens to pregnant mothers. Beyond cats and dogs, my animal care expertise extends to reptiles, aquarium maintenance, and farm animals including chickens, goats, and horses. I've also managed large populations of show rabbits, sometimes exceeding 100 animals. I'm comfortable administering medications to all species and have extensive experience managing special needs pets. My clients receive focused, individual attention as I do not combine pet sitting assignments. I currently work full-time Monday - Friday (7 am-3 pm). I also volunteer on Sundays (7 am-11 am). I’m open to weekday availability as long as the pet owner is aware of my work and volunteer schedule. As your dedicated pet sitter, I believe in providing comprehensive care that goes beyond the basics. During my visits, your pets will receive personalized attention through engaging playtime, appropriate exercise, and mental enrichment activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. I follow your detailed feeding instructions carefully and maintain clean food and water dishes throughout my stay. Understanding your pet's dietary needs is essential - I'll note their treat allowance and any food or environmental allergies to ensure their safety and well-being. Getting to know your pet's unique personality, quirks, and daily routines is a priority for me. I take time to understand their comfort levels, favorite activities, and any special requirements they may have. My goal is to create a stress-free environment where your pets feel secure and content in your absence. Housekeeping is equally important - I take pride in maintaining a clean environment and will ensure your home is in pristine condition upon your return. As part of my service, I'm happy to handle additional tasks such as watering indoor and outdoor plants, collecting mail, and managing trash bins. Your peace of mind is my top priority, both for your pets and your home.
“Bobbi is fantastic! She’s great with our 3 dogs. One of them can be cantankerous and she was able to win him over no problem. We love the peace of mind we have knowing that she’ll drop in and let our pups play when we have long work days.”
About: I’ve started walking dogs since I was walking in diapers. Throughout the years I’ve taken care of different sizes of dogs~ puppies to seniors. I’ve taken care of dogs that needed medical care and trained my dog and my grandma’s pup. I can say I know a bit of things when it comes dogs. I’m currently going to school in the afternoon and working at a part time, my mornings are almost always open and some of my nights. I’ll Still be willingly to work something out between those times. I like to take my dog out every 4 hrs even if he isn’t waiting at the door just to make sure he gets a nice breeze of the outside. I usually give him a cup of food every morning.
“Lynden was wonderful to work with -- very caring and compassionate -- and it was such a relief knowing she was making daily visits while we were gone.”
About: I always shoot your animals like mine. I come to your home and make sure they’re fed watered. I make sure they’re little boxes are clean. If they need some snuggling, I’ll give them all the loving they need.
About: I was Blessed with a Tortoiseshell cat for 15 years named Penelope Rose. Pets truly help us through the hardest times of our lives and we help them in return. They do find us, for sure. She was developed cat asthma (rare) and medication was not helping her so I put her down and that was my last pet years ago. I grew up having a grey Siamese cat. Both cats followed me everywhere. Every cat I meet has a unique personality that I love getting to know each and every one. Cats make me feel very calm & relaxed and I feel I have that same effect on them as well. I like the idea of sometime developing a cat toy line because I used to make so many homemade, safe ones when I was growing up. I understand Dogs & Cats and they seem to get me too. I used to foster a 3-legged handi-capable cat and an amazing 1-eyed cat (who is older than 20 years and is now blind). She keeps on going that sweet girl! Shes got a great will to live. I’m familiar with wound-care and post-vet care. I’m in tune with cats and understand calming techniques to make their environment pleasant & comfortable.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsi! From day one, it was clear how genuinely caring, patient, and attentive she is with my puppy Lucy. She treats her like her own, making sure she’s safe, happy, well-exercised, and loved. I always receive great updates and photos, which gives me total peace of mind knowing Lucy is in such good hands. Her reliability, communication, and obvious love for dogs truly sets her apart. I am so grateful to have found someone I trust completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog—especially puppies!”

Thanks again Gary and Carol!!!!!”

“I am so grateful to have found Damon to care for my girl Fiona. She is almost 14, blind, and diabetic, so I was nervous when my schedule changed and I was needing to find a daycare solution for her. I feel so comfortable dropping her off with him. I know that she will be well taken care of and he will quickly communicate any concerns.”
“They treated my dogs like their own. Even bathing them when they got a little messy. They sent photos & always responded when I was checking in. They asked many questions about routines & lifestyles to make sure it was a good fit prior. I will definitely be booking again :) thank you for caring for my dogs 🩵”

“Emma was great. My dog felt at home right away. Emma met me for drop off and pick up out front and was super kind. Lots of play area for the dogs and a great place to board.”

About: I have had dogs since I was 16. Cats since I was 20. I have also owned various other animals, including livestock. My schooling helped me learn general animal care and I have had the same dog trainer for 20 years. Our pets have regular vet care. I pet sit for friends and family often, both at their homes and in our own home. Just informational, I do live with males, including teens, who have attended dog training classes and help when I need to step out if the house. I also have a very large yard for lots of running and exercise. I work fill time, but remote. I can choose to be from home or in office so am available to watch pets at home all day, when needed. We have a large fully fenced yard. We do have chickens, but they are gated in their own area. I have a pet gate to keep dogs from going downstairs unattended and a door as backup. I provide a pet water fountain for constant fresh and flowing hydration. Pets get regular treats and training refreshers to keep their minds sharp and engaged. My house is inundated with both cat and dog toys for constant entertainment.
“We had always boarded our dogs in a kennel before so this was our first time leaving them in the house for a quick weekend trip with drop in visits and walks. We came home to happy, well taken care of dogs. Tori did a great job taking care of our cat and now we’ll use her as our go-to sitter for our dogs.”

“Hannah is fantastic. Low-key loves and her loves her. Excuse me one thing though Loki is an English cream golden retriever. I’m not sure whether it was pilot error on my part when I put in what type of doggie is or not, but if it can be changed. It should be changed to an English cream, golden retriever”

It’s a gift to be able to connect with animals. I love to return the positive energy an animal gives. I feel like every animal deserves kindness. I feel like I have a gift to be able read, understand, calm and relax and add happiness to an animal’s day. They are therapy for me as much as I feel I am for them. I’m happiest and genuinely feel most at-ease with animals. It’s important for me they feel comfortable with and around me. I know that much like human children, routine is very important to pets. If you need me to check in on them, feed /water them, potty breaks/short walks/close-by parks/play toss-the-ball, hug/cuddle/companion-time or stay at your home I am available to help. I develop unique connections to each animal I’m around and grateful to be around each one. Whatever a pet-owner needs me to do to help make their pet’s day better, I’m up for the challenge. Animals make my day, daily! Whether it be my friend’s dogs & cats or the Brahma bull that is up the road, I try to see an animal each day. I do have experience with animals that have high-anxiety, special needs and abusive backgrounds. I currently have a few tears in my meniscus which is preventing me to do rigorous walks. I will be scheduling surgery soon but that does not prevent me from tossing a ball around for a dog. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am looking to assist with in-home day/night(s) stays, drop-in visits and walks. I’m available anytime and look forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Although I do have a wonderful, small fenced-in yard, I live in an 800 sq ft home therefore, I think it's best to go where the pet is most-comfortable (their own home).
“Bobbi is totally a dog person. She’s really good at reading their behaviors and working with them. My Zoey dog loves her. Bobbi went above and beyond taking care of my dog while I was on vacation. I highly recommend Bobbi for you dog person.”
About: I am passionate about providing compassionate, high quality care for every animal I meet. Whether a pet is in my care or simply nearby, I naturally pay attention to their body language, personality, and individual needs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet, and I have a habit of spoiling them with plenty of love, attention, and positive experiences. Along with exceptional care, I offer reliability and trust. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone who will treat them like family, and that’s exactly what I strive to do. Spending time with animals is both calming and fulfilling for me, whether we’re relaxing at home, going for walks, playing, or exploring new places together. I have fostered multiple animals, helping with socialization, basic training, and building confidence through patience and positive reinforcement. I also have professional experience as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior or special needs pets, monitoring for health concerns, and handling other tasks such as diaper changes or post operative care. My goal is simple: to provide your pets with a safe, enriching, and loving experience while giving you complete peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and earn your trust by providing the kind of care they deserve. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! My current work schedule is with a warehouse, that being said I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a lot more pets and schedules than I expected. Please don’t hesitate to reach out same day if needed, I’ll always do my best to accept all compatible client and pet requests!! I live on a farm that is fully fenced around the entire property, there is an option to have your pet(s) meet some other pets on the property and play during the day, but I also am fully prepped for keeping the dogs separate from each other for any reason if needed. When staying at your home I am respectful of privacy and rules. I will NEVER have anyone other than myself inside your home or on the property, and I will clean up after myself as well as have the home clean when you get back. I do allow dogs on furniture at my home but will not allow it if needed.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life but have taken care of all kinds of animals from chinchillas to cats and lizards. I am here to help with any and all of your pets needs! I will make sure your animals are exercised and loved! (Let me know if your dog needs a running buddy!) I currently work a Part-time job during the day so I have plenty of time to make sure your pet gets their meals, engagement, and exercise in for the day! I can also be flexible with what works with your schedule. My priority is to take care of your animal and meet their needs. If overnight care is requested I always ensure that the client’s space is respected and used only for purposes of the job.

“Kristopher was truly a lifesaver. When my original sitter had to cancel unexpectedly, he stepped in without hesitation, and I honestly could not have asked for a better outcome. He was incredibly communicative throughout Izzy’s stay, sending regular updates and photos that gave me so much peace of mind. As a first-time dog mom, that level of care and transparency meant everything and made the whole experience feel smooth and stress-free. Izzy came home happy and completely worn out, which tells me she had the best time. I would absolutely recommend Kristopher and will definitely be booking with him again!!”
“Diana took great care of our dog Sadie. She walked her to the park and sent us pics through out the day. There were other dogs to play with, which Sadie loved. I'll use Diana again!”
“Yet another great stay with Gary and Carol. Waldo can barely contain his joy and excitement when we drive up to their place and goes full steam ahead to their front door. They’re the best!”
“Bonnie is the best! Our Shiba loves going there. We always feel and know that we areeaving him in the best hands! She walks and jas environment that he enjoys! He is ways excited when he sees her! We would 100% recommend her!”
“Kristopher and his partner are so nice and were very good to my dog! You can tell that they genuinely care about each pet they watch and will 100% rebook them in the future.”
“There couldn't have been a better match for my old lab. Jean has the best outdoor/ indoor space, laid back vibe, and attention to a dog that wants to be lazy but comfy and with a human near by. I also love the updates and pics Jean sends to make me feel comfortable about Timber being in a good space. Can't wait for Timber to go back to his new "camp" and enjoy time with Jean.”
“Veronica was great with our two dogs. She has a calming manner and our nervous border collie when away from home appeared totally at ease in the sweet photos that she sent us. And I’m sure our husky enjoyed playing with her huskies. They all made a good pack. 😊”
“Cassie took excellent care of our puppy, and did a great job of keeping us updated on his activities. She sent great pictures and videos and clearly puts a lot of time and energy into caring for her dog guests. He clearly had a great weekend away!”
“Rocky had a wonderful time and was well-loved. Taken in by Ludo and Indiana Bones like he was one of the pack. Great home with lots of space to run and spots to cuddle. Highly recommend!”
“Liz and her family were fantastic with our Goldendoodle! Communication was great and we felt at ease our dog was in excellent care. We appreciated the attentive touches like an impromptu food pickup (due to miscalculation on our end during his 2 week stay), early morning walks on 85 degree days and some tasty treats. Highly recommend booking!”
“Emma and Kenzie are the best! Love that my extrovert pup gets to run + play with some of her same besties from previous stays, and also that she gets to meet new friends as well. She always comes home tail wagging. :) Thank you!”
“She was great! Had my Cooper for a week, sent lots of pictures, very communicative! And also gave extra cuddles for I sweet boy! Handled lots of pups with no issues❤️”
About: Hi, I’m Chelsey! Animals have been a part of my life since day one, so I’ve developed a strong understanding of how to care for them and treat them as valued family members. I believe every pet deserves personalized attention and the best care possible, and I strive to make them as happy as they make me. Whether it’s offering extra comfort to a senior pet or keeping an energetic puppy active and entertained, I take the time to adjust to each pet’s unique needs. By caring for them in the comfort of their own home, I ensure they feel secure, happy, and relaxed, maintaining their routine while you're away. As a full-time nursing student, I have classes on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays for about 6 hours each day, depending on my schedule. Outside of class, I spend time studying, but much of my coursework can be done from home, allowing me to be present and provide attentive care for pets. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I am also available during evenings and many weekends, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. When caring for your furry loved one, I always make sure I will give care to them just as I would with my furry loved ones.
“Caroline is awesome, she took amazing care of my dog and went above and beyond for him. I would definitely book with Caroline again! My dog loved it at her place, she sent picture updates while we were out of town. Gave us so much peace of mind and was so nice to have someone my dog has a good time and trusts while we were gone. Thank you again!”
“This was my first time using rover and I was a bit nervous leaving my dogs with someone that I didn’t know but Bobby and Linda made me feel very confident in their ability’s to take care of our dogs. They gave great updates with pictures and notes on what they did that day. I will recommend them to others and use them again in the future.”
“The BEST sitter ever! Becky did an amazing job watching our two pups. We got so many updates and cute photos! We were worry free the whole time knowing our dogs were in good hands! Becky is such a sweet warm person, and goes above and beyond with her dog care (her pets Kito and Tatter were amazing playmates for our babbies). We will for sure be a returning client in the future :)”
“Nyx stayed with Nicole and Colton in the Fall (I'm leaving this review a bit late!). They sent photos during the trip of her playing with other dogs which was highly appreciated. I would feel comfortable boarding her here again!”
“As always, this was an exciting and energizing vacation for Kirby. He came home happy and "played out", once again adorned with the trademark bandana given to him by the hosts and smelling better than when I dropped him off! Thanks Makenzie!”
“Once again, Oliver had a great time and was so well taken care of. The day before our trip, Ollie had an issue with his foot and was put on several medications. Stephen's wife, Connie, made a meds chart to ensure that every dose was given on time. That wasn't something we had planned for, but they were so great about it. That really allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. Thanks so much, Stephen and Connie!”
