“Our dogs, Bailey and Gracie, had a wonderful time in Mary's care! It is so wonderful to have found a loving and fun environment for the pups when we are out of town. Everything went perfectly and we received plenty of photos and messages during their stay. I highly recommend Mary and Camp IWanna BarkaLot!”
“Lennox always seems happy after his stays with Carissa and Judge and leaps out of the car as soon as we get to her house to see her and his best buddy! It’s comforting to know that he looks forward to the stays and feels comfortable going there - one less thing to worry about while traveling…..”
“This was the first time we boarded Gus so we were a little nervous leaving our baby. But we didn’t need to worry as he was so well taken care of! He seemed very comfortable, and came home extra sleepy from playing so much. I would absolutely have Gus stay again with Elizabeth!”

“Chip had a great time with Bee! He was there 4 nights, very responsive if we checked in and provided updates. Very flexible with pickup and drop off. Based off her pictures of him relaxing and how calm he is when we picked him up, he seemed to have a good time! Thank you Bee! -Maria”
“Vicki and her family treated our Ollie like family! We were so happy with his stay - regular pics and updates helped me feel at ease with being away from our new pup for five days. We knew he was in good hands, and you can sense that Vicki is a true dog lover. She was also flexible with travel delays and patient with my questions. Ollie got lots of attention and time to play in the fenced-in yard. He looks forward to running around again one day with his new buddy, Wyatt, and the family cat! Thank you, Vicki, for welcoming our dear Ollie into your home so warmly!”

“Luann clearly has a deep love and passion for what she does. She embraced my nutty dog with open arms. Her home is neat and clean and rivals some commercial facilities as she has two separate fenced in outdoor spaces. She sent regular updates on my guy. We have been home a while and my pup keeps going to the door. I think he wants to go back! I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! I'm a dependable and caring animal lover with a flexible schedule and a passion for helping both pets and their owners. While I'm new to Rover, I'm no stranger to caring for animals. I'm a proud dog owner and have two cats, so I understand the importance of providing pets with love, attention, and a consistent routine. As a parent of young children involved in sports, I'm active, organized, and used to managing busy schedules. My flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether that's walks, drop-in visits, or keeping your pet company while you're away. I know every pet has a unique personality, and I'll take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. You can count on me to treat your furry family members as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work from home and live right in town. This gives me great flexibility in my day to meet your needs as well as a close travel distance. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and any special instructions provided by the owner.

“Darcy did a wonderful job taking care of our four cats. She was very conscientious about her visits and provided excellent daily communication. I would definitely ask her to visit again.”
“Colleen checked in on my cats while I was out of town. She refilled food and water supply, and changed the waste bin for the automated litter box. She gave me photo updates of my cats greeting her at the door. I appreciated her services and would book again for whenever I am out of town.”
About: Having been around animals my entire life, I recognize that every pet has their own special personality. Sometimes, beautiful personalities require more attention, love, or patience than others. Every pet I have owned has been rescued in some form or another, whether from a shelter or right off of the street, and each one has brought their own challenges, but also their own beautiful ways of showing love. I have no problem with jumpy, hyper, or "mouthy" pets, or any other behaviors that might be deemed "problematic". My life with all sorts of animals has allowed me to gain valuable skills, including being comfortable around pets of all sizes and shapes, handling "pushy" behaviors, and caring for senior pets with specific health issues. Allow me to offer a loving hand when yours is not available. While I do work full-time, my schedule outside of the office and ability to travel allows me the flexibility to accommodate for any pet's needs. My number-one priority has always been safety. I've worked in professional environments with animals, such farms and shelters, and carry with me the valuable lessons I gained from those jobs.
“Robyn was very punctual and sent timely updates after each visit. I knew our boy was in good hands in her care. I would absolutely work with Robyn again for my large breed guardian dog. Thank you Robyn”
About: Although I have never owned a cat of my own, I absolutely love cats and look forward to caring for yours. I have experience caring for shelter cats, where I helped meet their daily needs, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning their spaces, playing with them, and giving them attention and affection. As a pre-veterinary student with experience working in a veterinary office, I understand the importance of being patient, gentle, and attentive to each cat’s individual personality and routine.
“Amber was excellent, excellent, excellent! She was on time morning and evening giving our cat his food and insulin injections. She communicated with us frequently complete with photos. I highly recommend Amber.”
“Lori is a great sitter. Gracie (the cat) pulled her antics as normal and Lori was concerned with her well being. Thank you for the great overall concern and the cute pictures she took. Lori is in my book for future bookings. Thank you again!”
About: Cats rule! My Soul Cat Sophie made me a cat lover almost 20 years ago. Ever since then, I couldn't live without having a cat in my life. I have cat-sat 1-20 cats at one time! I can read cat tails (most of the time)! Aspiring to be a cat behaviorist!! Cat whisperer. They know I'm a cat person! Bonus: I have experience with litter robots!
About: I have experience with both cats and dogs, ranging from kitten size to Pitbull size! My 18 year old cat recently passed away who I had taken of for all 18 years. I also have 5 years of experience being a Pitbull Mom. I work full time, but get off early afternoon most days and am looking to fill a bit of my time with giving my love to animals! I currently have a 3 month old kitten who I care for daily with lots of play time and treats (in moderation!) She is spoiled with toys and safe places to sleep.
About: I've taken care of multiple cats and dogs for the past 7 years, have helped with house sitting and dropping in to keep energetic dogs from tearing apart the house while the owners are away, and have walked dogs for quite a bit. I have also owned or lived in households where there are multiples cats and dogs, so taking care of more than one animal at a time is not an issue for me. I work night shifts and can easily pop out during the day to take care of any animal, stopping by the house to let the dog out as frequently as needed, feeding the pets, etc. I also have my own car, so transportation is not an issue. For pet care, it entirely depends on the animal. Basics, however, include feeding and providing fresh water, cleaning out litter boxes on a regular basis, and making sure dogs or more active pets get the exercise they need throughout the day.
About: The picture I have set is actually my own cat King Zoro! That’s my mini bestie. I have had experience with lots of cats throughout my life. Also giving my cat eye drops, bathing and grooming him so he can feel his best! I prefer cats that are easier going but am willing to be around other personalities too.
About: Hi, Everyone! My name is Cara. Thank you for visiting my page. My strong admiration for animals has only grown more with the more animals I meet and as a result, it brings me genuine happiness. It is a rewarding experience to be able to take care of any animal that needs it while their owner is away. Since starting Rover in August 21’, I’ve had 10+ repeat clients and have established great friendships with families/people in the community as a result. I have a M-F teaching position 8am-4pm and summer months off. I am currently a part time Binghamton University graduate student studying for a masters degree in early childhood special education. A little history: I grew up with a miniature schnauzer (Zoie) whom towards the end of her life, needed constant supervision and was administered medicine 3x/ day, grooming/washing daily. I was always there to comfort her until the end of her life and spoiled her beyond belief. Myself and my family provided care to my mini schnauzer for over 12 years. As a child, I never had a dog sitter to send updates, pictures/videos for my sweet Zoie when my family would travel, so I strongly understand the importance of quick and reliable communication/sending updates while you’re away to ease your anxiety. Experience - administering medicine/injections - cats, big dogs, small dogs, senior animals, special needs pets, pigs, cows, chickens. -exercise/run with your pet -hospice/end of life care (Repositioning every hour, hand feeding, massages, cooking packs, frozen bone broth snacks on warmer days, the list goes on) Pets and animals deserve to be spoiled but most importantly, they deserve to be loved. I have a white pitbull fur baby (Minnie). Shes a loyal, sweet and well behaved dog, I’m so lucky and thankful for her every day as she brings me so much happiness. She stays at home with her other best friend, my significant other while I’m away. If you think I’d be a good fit for your fur baby or have any questions or concerns, I’m here to answer them all and hope you will consider me to take care of your pet. I work M-F through a nearby school, being able to provide supervision to animals while I am home. Check my calendar for the most up to date availability, please 😌 House sitting: Provide overnight care, 24/7 care, other responsibilities to care for your home while you are away (watering plants, picking up mail, cleaning, etc.) Always love to send picture and video updates 2-3x/a day of your furry one to ensure you are comfortable and know that your animal is well cared for and happy in my care!

“Aurora had a lovely retreat in the country with Amber in a beautiful setting with plenty of care and cuddles. I immediately felt comfortable with Aurora spending the day with Amber who is warm, friendly and clearly has a special way with animals. She kept me posted on Aurora’s adventures throughout the day. Hope Aurora has a chance to visit again!”

About: I am a pre-veterinary student with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up caring for three dogs, which taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience working in a veterinary office, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal care, behavior, and safety. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and will treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life since I have three dogs of my own. Feeding, walking, grooming, and playing with them is just built into my routine. I genuinely enjoy the structure and joy they bring, and caring for animals has become second nature to me. At home, I keep my dogs on a consistent routine with feeding, walks, play, and grooming. I’ll care for your pets the same way—with love, attention, and reliability, making sure they feel safe and happy while in my care.
About: Hi my name is Luann I have always had my own dog. My baby now is a blue healer Great Dane mix. She is a great dog. We also have a small dog. Her name is Daisy. I feel like our dogs are part of our family's and should be treated with love and respect. I enjoy walking so I would love to include your dog in my walks. I am a very reliable person who would treat your pet like it's my own. I love dog kisses and muddy paw prints are no problem. If I'm not covered in dog hair and slobber then we haven't had enough fun. I truly do just love all animals and enjoy being with them. I am retired so I have plenty of time every day to walk and play with your fur babies. I enjoy spending time outside and walking is a great way to enjoy any day. I will make sure your dog is always on a leash and walked in a safe place. Plenty of hugs , pets and love will also be part of our walk.

About: I've grown up with no less than 2 dogs at a time. Now I have 3 of my own and I am looking to open my home and offer my services since I am home full time!! We are always outside playing, going for walks and experiencing nature!! I would love to have the opportunity to care for other peoples animals!! The passion I have for animals could definitely be of use to many :) Let me know how I can help!! I work from home and I’m able to constantly care for my 3 pups. The more the merrier! I get up early and run the pups, feed them and let them sunbathe out back. Pets are allowed on our furniture and are treated as the family that they are. I have a fully fenced in yard, plenty of toys and puppy friends to keep your babe occupied and having the time of their lives! My dogs also have their own crates if our visitor is uneasy around our dogs.
About: I think what sets me apart is all the experience I have had with dogs. We have had dogs since I was a baby. We have had labs, Havanese, mixed breeds and doodles. My family always lived on a farm with tons of animals, so we always had many pups. We have cared from them since they were puppies and when some had cancer and were sick. I will make sure to love and take care of your pup as if they were my own. They will always be in good hands. I work from home, so I am available everyday at any time and weekends! My routine will be around your pups schedule. I will make anything work to make things easier for you. If pets are in my home, they will be comfortable as if it was their own. My yard is fenced in, so they can play in the back. I always have the water bowls filled and will keep them on their food schedule. My dogs sleep in my room with me, so if you don’t mind your pup will have it’s own spot in my room to sleep too!
“Wonderful! Great communication. We dropped off bright and early on a Sunday, before visiting day for a local camp, and Allawr and her partner were there and ready, very comfortable with a dog with a cone (for a mild abrasion on his foot).”
“I strongly recommend Adriana. She and her family love dogs and have pictures of the dogs they’ve taken care of on the wall. They have a fenced in yard where dogs can play outside. My dog hasn’t been alone with strangers in a few years but when I picked him up he was snoozing on the couch with Adriana. She and her son Randall were both so friendly and supportive. She sent me pictures of Rufus all day, too. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“I was hoping so bad it was a match with my pup and her family...AND IT WAS!!! I work off hours and my pup is a couch potato but needs company. They accommodated him and put him at ease. I'm so glad it was a match bc now that gives him some consistency when I bring him back. Thank you to you and your family.”
“Tara was amazing with our sweet girl Piper! She kept us updated and sent pictures and updates throughout Friday and Saturday. We could not be more pleased! Piper loved her and we will not hesitate to book her again!! 🐶♥️🐾”

About: Hello! My name is Baylor, and I've been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. For the past four years, I've worked as a veterinary technician, giving me extensive experience caring for animals and ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and safe. My veterinary background allows me to confidently administer medications, recognize changes in behavior, and provide attentive care for pets with special needs. In addition to my clinical experience, I've been pet sitting for many of my veterinary clients over the past few years.

I am currently taking care of pets as my full-time job, allowing me to be very available and have widespread flexibility to fit your scheduling needs. I am able to care for your dog or cat in whichever way feels most comfortable for you, whether that is a puppy who needs training, walks, and crated time, or a senior cat that requires more frequent, attentive visits and a strict schedule of medication. Given my background, I am also happy to provide additional services such as baths, nail trimmings, and gland expressions when necessary.
About: Hi! My name is Brooklin, and animals have been a huge part of my life for over 18 years. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities.

“Colleen is excellent. She took great care of my puppy. She noticed a sore/ hotspot and arranged for us to get in to see her vet the same day and even volunteered to take him if my schedule didn’t allow.”
About: I’ve always had pets since I was a toddler. I’ve always took care of my pets, my grandparents pets & I’m really good with animals. I’m usually always available! I’m self employed and do instacart, doordash, Rover, Uber, Uber Eats, etc so I can usually fit anything into my schedule! I have a yard. (It’s not fenced in yet, working on it.) I’m a huge animal person so your animals will always be well taken care of & loved in my care.
“Another great visit by Lori. She is mindful of timing the arrival to the dogs schedule. As I have one older dog, she is careful to watch and see if his is up to the usual walk. If she gets through the walk early, she takes time to play with the dogs back at the house. We are grateful to have Lori as a dog sitter/walker.”

About: I’ve taken care of lots of pets over the years. I enjoy being around animals and showing them love because they do the same for us! I have a genuine love for taking care of things if I can help it and I’m going to school to even become a nurse. I also started a house plant hobby. Taking care of things is just in my blood. I’m available more in the evenings . My schedule is flexible but inconsistent because I’m part time at my jobs but we can discuss availability if you book me to take care of your pet(s)! I have a fenced in back yard and just one cat. I’m able to keep them separated if needed. I also have my own home and it’s a smoke free one! I’m very clean and clean my home daily. I let my cat on the couches so yours will be allowed the same if they are not dirty of course.

I will do my best to make your needs work with my schedule! Currently trying to make this my main kibbles and bits! I'll consider any request and try to make it work! I take clients on weekdays and am NOT an early riser! Afternoons and evenings are perfect! I am hypervigilant with my own furbabies and will be with yours as well! Potty time will always be supervised (if you have a fence) and a leash is a must for walks! I will stay by their side the whole visit!

About: While I'm more experienced with cats in my home, I have always been the go-to pet sitter for all friends and family. I appreciate that they get just as excited to go for a w-a-l-k as I do. It helps that my schedule is extremely flexible since I'm a bartender who works odd hours. I can do early mornings, late nights, and a mix of anything you need in between. I'm a bartender, so I am available early mornings, late nights, and a good mix of anything in between. The bar I work at is also closed on Sundays and Mondays, so scheduling on those days is completely flexible. My cats are fairly active, so we spend quite a bit of time playing fetch or hide and seek (cats are so odd). I also take them on bike rides with my bike trailer attachment. I'm also equipped to handle medication needs. I don't crate my cats when I'm not home, so that would have to be provided by the client if there is a requirement for one.

“Scout had an awesome time with her new friends at Steve’s home. We have already set up our next stay with Steve and are so happy we have met him and Star. Steve and Star get a five star rating! Thanks”
“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”
“Lennox always seems happy after his stays with Carissa and Judge and leaps out of the car as soon as we get to her house to see her and his best buddy! It’s comforting to know that he looks forward to the stays and feels comfortable going there - one less thing to worry about while traveling…..”
“This was the first time we boarded Gus so we were a little nervous leaving our baby. But we didn’t need to worry as he was so well taken care of! He seemed very comfortable, and came home extra sleepy from playing so much. I would absolutely have Gus stay again with Elizabeth!”
“She did such a great job with my Charlie!! He was well taken care of and i was updated constantly on his well being, especially with pictures! I 1000% recommend and will definitely keep her in contact in case I need another babysitter!”
“Joelene was awesome. She kept us informed with pictures while we were away every day and let us know if as situation(s) came up. We would definitely use her again if the need comes up.”
“Chip had a great time with Bee! He was there 4 nights, very responsive if we checked in and provided updates. Very flexible with pickup and drop off. Based off her pictures of him relaxing and how calm he is when we picked him up, he seemed to have a good time! Thank you Bee! -Maria”
“Vicki and her family treated our Ollie like family! We were so happy with his stay - regular pics and updates helped me feel at ease with being away from our new pup for five days. We knew he was in good hands, and you can sense that Vicki is a true dog lover. She was also flexible with travel delays and patient with my questions. Ollie got lots of attention and time to play in the fenced-in yard. He looks forward to running around again one day with his new buddy, Wyatt, and the family cat! Thank you, Vicki, for welcoming our dear Ollie into your home so warmly!”
“Luann clearly has a deep love and passion for what she does. She embraced my nutty dog with open arms. Her home is neat and clean and rivals some commercial facilities as she has two separate fenced in outdoor spaces. She sent regular updates on my guy. We have been home a while and my pup keeps going to the door. I think he wants to go back! I highly recommend her!”

“Kathryn and Jared were great with our female pittie with her 11 day stay. Their dogs welcomed her, and they had a great time just by looking at the pictures they sent. We will definitely use them the next time we go on vacation.”
About: I am a pre-veterinary student with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up caring for three dogs, which taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs.

I’ll care for your pets the same way—with love, attention, and reliability, making sure they feel safe and happy while in my care.

“Right from the start, Kerri was so great to us. She came over to meet our dog beforehand and sent us messages with pictures while we were away. She really put us at ease, and we appreciate that so much. We recommend her 100%.”
