“Chrisie was AH-MAZING!! We were in a pinch 8 hours from home and seeing how our baby weighs 162 pounds, finding a caretaker isn't the eaiest of tasks! Even with 5 dogs under 15 pounds in her home she was still willing to atleast give us a meet & greet. The meet went great and Maysen proceeded to stay with Chrisie that weekend! She treated him with Love & Gentleness that you would Not get from a kennel!! Thank you Chrisie for taking such good care of our baby and leaving is worry free! Highly recommended!!”
“Bee was amazing! It was my first time leaving Juno with anyone other than family. She sent me updates and pictures and he was an extremely happy boy! Thank you so much Bee.”
“Joelene was an excellent sitter to our doberman Letty! Joelene has a very sweet disposition, sends pics daily, and truly cares! I highly recommend and will book her again if needed!”

“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!”
About: I am a Dog Trainer with years of personal and professional experience taking care of, training and boarding all types of breeds, ages, and sizes. Growing up, I was raised in an animal loving household and have carried that love into my adult life. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own and they are my absolute world. Training and taking care of animals is and always has been a passion of mine. Booking with me means your pups become apart of my family and ensuring their health, safety and overall happiness. 🐾🦴 I am a full time Professional Dog Trainer with a very flexible schedule. A majority of the dogs I train live with me so most of my job is "home based". When I'm not out training, I am at home caring for your pups. My world revolves around your pets and their everyday needs. Whenever your pup cannot be supervised, they will be in a kennel inside my home for their saftey. For example, whenever I am not home and overnight. My backyard is completely fenced in and the dogs have tons of free time and space to get their energy out and run around. Dogs are always being supervised during free/play time to ensure their safety and safety of others.
“If I could give more than five stars, I would—honestly, this was one of the most above-and-beyond experiences we’ve ever had with any service, not just dog sitting. From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and incredibly professional—but what truly blew us away was everything that happened *after* we booked her for what was supposed to be just a single day. Due to unexpected circumstances on our end, that one day turned into three… and she handled it with nothing but grace, flexibility, and genuine care. Not once did she make us feel like it was an inconvenience. In fact, she reassured us the entire time and treated our dog like her own. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. You could tell our dog was not only well cared for, but truly happy and comfortable. It’s rare to find someone who connects so naturally with animals, but she absolutely does. And then—when we thought we couldn’t possibly be more impressed—she somehow raised the bar even higher. She went out of her way to return our dog to us, taking not one but TWO Ubers to make sure everything worked out smoothly. Who does that?! That level of dedication, effort, and positivity is almost unheard of. The entire time, she maintained the most amazing attitude—warm, patient, and completely unbothered—when most people would understandably be stressed or frustrated. It’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are. She didn’t just “watch our dog”—she showed kindness, flexibility, and a level of commitment that genuinely meant a lot to us during a stressful situation. If you are even *considering* booking with her, do it immediately. She is reliable, compassionate, communicative, and truly goes the extra mile (literally and figuratively). We would trust her again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be booking with her in the future. Thank you again for everything—you are truly one of a kind!”

“Amy did a fantastic job with our dog Summit! She welcomed him with open arms as if he was one of her own dogs! She kept us posted with his current status throughout the day including pictures, and was always responsive! 15/10 would book again with Amy!”
“Tara is great! She is very kind and easy to communicate with. My dog is a clingy and nervous chihuahua, and he felt very comfortable with Tara. She did a great job making him feel relaxed while sharing pictures with me while I was away. I appreciate her dedication and patience for making my dog, and myself, feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while I was out of town. Thank you Tara!”
“Carissa was a great sitter for Lennox - he seems to have enjoyed her care and the company of her pet, Judge. He came back happy! During his stay with her, Carissa kept in touch with me with appropriate updates, including photos and a few short videos. She was flexible on drop off and pick up times, which was great because my return home was delayed a little bit with traffic. I’d recommend her for sure and already booked Lennox for another stay with her in a few weeks!”
“Kat and Will were absolutely wonderful with our small but energetic dog. He had a proper doggy vacay in their gorgeous home. Absolutely no hesitation to recommend them to anyone. Thanks both!”
“I left Chet with Emily and Andre for a few days. They took great care of him, gave him lots of love and attention and sent me frequent updates so that I would know he was ok. He was treated like a member of the family and had a great time!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog overnight and Kerri made me feel so at ease! She was very responsive and sent plenty of updates. Kobe had such a good stay and enjoyed spending the night with her and her family! I will definitely use her again!”
“Robert made our first experience with Rover, great! He put our minds at ease by responding to our messages and questions in a timely manner. He gave updates on our dog many times per day. Drop off was easy and he lives in a location perfect for walking dogs. Will definitely use him sgain.”

“Darcy was outstanding. She was great with the dogs, sent lots of pictures, even offered to stop by extra if the dogs were afraid of thunderstorms. She communicated promptly and was willing to bring in the mail for us. I can certainly recommend her, and will contact her again should the need arise. Thank you, Darcy.”
“Logan was wonderful with our two kitties. They are very shy and skittish and Logan was patient and kind and wisely waited for them to make friends in their own time. Now they love him! He was great at keeping us informed, dependable, and helpful. He did everything we asked and spent lots of time with our pets. He even took care of some outside snow and ice for us! We will definitely request Logan again. Very happy pet parents!”
“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.”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience with cats of all ages and temperaments. I currently live with a cat, and my boyfriend also has a cat, so daily care is second nature to me. I’m very attentive to their health, routines, and playtime needs, and I take cleanliness seriously, including keeping litter boxes fresh and well maintained. I’ve also cared for my aunt’s indoor and outdoor cats for years, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and care needs.

I have grown up with both dogs & cats & am always the one friends/family call when they are in need of someone to watch their babies. I truly just love animals of all varieties. I am currently living with my best friend & her 3 cats who I spoil every day & love it!
“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!”
“We literally could not have asked for a better sitter than Emily! She was absolutely amazing with our dog, Benji, over our wedding weekend. From the start, she was so patient and flexible, meeting with him ahead of time, spending multiple days getting to know him, and being incredibly understanding of his more anxious personality. Emily went above and beyond to make sure Benji felt comfortable and cared for, and she made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We never once worried because we knew he was in such great hands. Her communication, reliability, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. We felt so safe with her the entire weekend and can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and amazing with their pets. Thank you, Emily, for being such a huge part of making our wedding weekend stress free you’re the best!”
“Nathaniel took care of my cat Ghost for an extended time over the holidays. He was extremely kind, helpful,and flexible as this was a last minute booking. Nathaniel communicated with me daily and sent pictures to let me know how Ghost was doing. He made accommodations for Ghost so that she would be comfortable and feel safe, as well as have the option to interact with his cats at her own pace. I highly recommend Nathaniel and will definitely book him again in the future!”
“This is our first time using Rover, and Shayla is above and beyond our expectations. Our fullsize goldendoodle Mac is reactive to new people, and Shayla has put in the effort to go slow with our boy, and it's paying off. Over several visits, she has won over his curiosity and trust, and has asked us about his tendencies, to help ensure his comfort and routine as she prepares to house sit for us. Our trip will be the first time that both my husband and I are going away since we've had Mac, and I am certain he will be in great hands. I can't wait to see how Shayla's relationship with our dog continues. Seeing her approach with him, we can tell she's an experienced and knowledgeable sitter.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Honestly I don't think I could find a better person to care for my baby when we aren't home. Serena seemed to have a good time and was able to relax and not be nervous. She even ate some dinner (which she usually doesn't when we aren't around).”

I also run a nonprofit animal rescue from my home, so caring for animals is something I’m actively doing every day. My routine is built around feeding schedules, exercise, cleaning, and making sure each animal gets individual attention.

About: ** I took a break from Rover, but I’m happy to be back and excited to offer pet care again! (Est. Jan ‘26) 🐾✨ I bring over 5 years of hands-on experience from working at a local dog daycare, caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m by no means a trainer, but have worked with one, and am comfortable training puppies on basic commands and have experience providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs as well. I treat every dog like my own and always strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I regularly dog sit for friends and family, so caring for animals is already built into my routine. I also currently have a crew of my own — 3 dogs (just welcomed a puppy in Dec. 2025) & have a flock of 24 chickens! As I continue using Rover, I’m excited to grow this into something more consistent, with the goal of potentially offering pet care full time in the future. Animals truly are a big part of my everyday life 🖤🐾 I’m able to be home and present, so pets get lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I also have dogs who do great with other dogs, which can be a fun and positive socialization experience when it’s a good fit. I have crates available if needed, extra bowls, and enrichment toys like snuffle mats and games to keep pets engaged and comfortable. My goal is always to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“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 owned and taken care of animals ever since I was a child including dogs, cats, and farm animals. I have extensive experience in handling and caretaking of dogs. I volunteer and walk dogs at animal shelters near me. I am available any day of the week at this time. I can board, walk and sit for animals in my home or their owner’s homes. My first and foremost concern is the animals wellbeing. So I can go to their home if that’s the best option for them and the owner. I can also board in my home. I currently have 1 senior cat who is rather shy but has been around dogs and other cats in the past. I have a big yard where I can take and walk dogs outside to play and exercise. I could also crate if it’s needed.
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.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages. I’ve taken care of my senior dog for years, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to support older dogs’ needs. I’ve also been around puppies and high-energy dogs my entire life, as my grandparents board Border Collies. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels, and I focus on making every dog feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Pet care is a constant part of my daily routine. I regularly care for my senior dog, who is blind and deaf, making sure he gets the stimulation he needs and is fed the correct food at the proper times. I also have a cat living with me, so I make time every day for her playtime, affection, meals, and treats. Caring for pets is already built into my schedule, allowing me to give consistent and attentive care. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in both my home and my clients’ homes. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain clean and secure spaces, and pay close attention to pets’ routines and behaviors. I’m especially mindful of doors, feeding schedules, and creating a calm environment to reduce stress. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet with patience, respect, and attentive care to help them feel safe and at ease.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 16. I work for Charleston Animal Society. Examples of care; walking them, to giving them medicine (if needed), feeding them, making sure they have water, don’t overheat, have basically everything they need as they are with me, to having them for sleep overs, and staying with them for however long was needed. Animals are my top priority. At the moment I have a full time job, but have weekends off. I plan to entail doing this on my weekends and even after work days. This is more then just making it my routine. I adore animal(s). I have a fenced in yard, I as well have a crate. Plenty of opportunities for walking adventures. I enjoy going to the dog park, as well with adventuring outside anywhere with the animal(s). Whatever you set for rules or boundaries I’ll always continue to respect them, and always follow. I enjoy working with animal(s)
“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 am very well equipped to care for dogs and cats with varying needs and abilities. Each animal deserves the love we would give our own child. I’m currently looking for new opportunities having just moved back to the area. I have grown up here and have cared for many pups and kitties and would love the opportunity to give your pet the love and care they deserve. I am very attentive to the specific instructions of each pet owner. Every fur baby has their own unique personality and needs and I am well equipped and able to keep them safe and happy while in my care.
About: My attention to detail and absolute top notch care. I will treat your pets like they are my own. I have experience with both senior animals and young. I will be available 7 days a week, currently only working part time, looking to make watching and taking care of animals a full time thing. I live in a pet friendly apartment, however, I do prefer to travel and take care of pets, in the comfort of their own homes.
“Shayla did a great job walking my special boi! He’s a bit of a puller but she was super understanding and accommodating. She even found him a nice open field to run in and get his energy out! I appreciated the detailed summary card she left at the end too. Will request again! Thanks Shayla!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets and have experience with special needs animals, seniors and kittens/puppies. I can administer medicine and am very cognizant of a pet’s personality. For example I have a timid cat, a menace cat and a love bug cat. My Siberian husky is more cat than dog too. I can do drop ins or board dogs in my home. I can also stop by for walks. For the board ins I prefer to take in only dogs because I don’t want to stress the kitty crew out, but I’d be available to come do drop ins for the cats. My yard isn’t completely fenced so I’d probably take the doggos to the park at apple grove and for walks around town. I have three friendly cats and my husky also loves dogs.
About: I am a Dog Trainer with years of personal and professional experience taking care of, training and boarding all types of breeds, ages, and sizes. Growing up, I was raised in an animal loving household and have carried that love into my adult life. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own and they are my absolute world. Training and taking care of animals is and always has been a passion of mine. Booking with me means your pups become apart of my family and ensuring their health, safety and overall happiness. 🐾🦴 I am a full time Professional Dog Trainer with a very flexible schedule. A majority of the dogs I train live with me so most of my job is "home based". When I'm not out training, I am at home caring for your pups. My world revolves around your pets and their everyday needs. Whenever your pup cannot be supervised, they will be in a kennel inside my home for their saftey. For example, whenever I am not home and overnight. My backyard is completely fenced in and the dogs have tons of free time and space to get their energy out and run around. Dogs are always being supervised during free/play time to ensure their safety and safety of others.
“If I could give more than five stars, I would—honestly, this was one of the most above-and-beyond experiences we’ve ever had with any service, not just dog sitting. From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and incredibly professional—but what truly blew us away was everything that happened *after* we booked her for what was supposed to be just a single day. Due to unexpected circumstances on our end, that one day turned into three… and she handled it with nothing but grace, flexibility, and genuine care. Not once did she make us feel like it was an inconvenience. In fact, she reassured us the entire time and treated our dog like her own. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. You could tell our dog was not only well cared for, but truly happy and comfortable. It’s rare to find someone who connects so naturally with animals, but she absolutely does. And then—when we thought we couldn’t possibly be more impressed—she somehow raised the bar even higher. She went out of her way to return our dog to us, taking not one but TWO Ubers to make sure everything worked out smoothly. Who does that?! That level of dedication, effort, and positivity is almost unheard of. The entire time, she maintained the most amazing attitude—warm, patient, and completely unbothered—when most people would understandably be stressed or frustrated. It’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are. She didn’t just “watch our dog”—she showed kindness, flexibility, and a level of commitment that genuinely meant a lot to us during a stressful situation. If you are even *considering* booking with her, do it immediately. She is reliable, compassionate, communicative, and truly goes the extra mile (literally and figuratively). We would trust her again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be booking with her in the future. Thank you again for everything—you are truly one of a kind!”

I am new to Wayne County, after living in Delaware County, PA for 50 years. I am looking for a part time work from home job, but in the meantime thought I could fill my days with dog lovin.

I live on 2 acres, with access to 10k+ acres of woods out my back door. There is plenty of walking and exploring to do out my back door.

“Amy did a fantastic job with our dog Summit! She welcomed him with open arms as if he was one of her own dogs! She kept us posted with his current status throughout the day including pictures, and was always responsive! 15/10 would book again with Amy!”
“Carissa was a great sitter for Lennox - he seems to have enjoyed her care and the company of her pet, Judge. He came back happy! During his stay with her, Carissa kept in touch with me with appropriate updates, including photos and a few short videos. She was flexible on drop off and pick up times, which was great because my return home was delayed a little bit with traffic. I’d recommend her for sure and already booked Lennox for another stay with her in a few weeks!”
“Kat and Will were absolutely wonderful with our small but energetic dog. He had a proper doggy vacay in their gorgeous home. Absolutely no hesitation to recommend them to anyone. Thanks both!”
“I left Chet with Emily and Andre for a few days. They took great care of him, gave him lots of love and attention and sent me frequent updates so that I would know he was ok. He was treated like a member of the family and had a great time!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog overnight and Kerri made me feel so at ease! She was very responsive and sent plenty of updates. Kobe had such a good stay and enjoyed spending the night with her and her family! I will definitely use her again!”
“Robert made our first experience with Rover, great! He put our minds at ease by responding to our messages and questions in a timely manner. He gave updates on our dog many times per day. Drop off was easy and he lives in a location perfect for walking dogs. Will definitely use him sgain.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 16. I work for Charleston Animal Society. Examples of care; walking them, to giving them medicine (if needed), feeding them, making sure they have water, don’t overheat, have basically everything they need as they are with me, to having them for sleep overs, and staying with them for however long was needed. Animals are my top priority. At the moment I have a full time job, but have weekends off. I plan to entail doing this on my weekends and even after work days. This is more then just making it my routine. I adore animal(s). I have a fenced in yard, I as well have a crate. Plenty of opportunities for walking adventures. I enjoy going to the dog park, as well with adventuring outside anywhere with the animal(s). Whatever you set for rules or boundaries I’ll always continue to respect them, and always follow. I enjoy working with animal(s)
