I am willing to visit your dog, walk your dog, and throw ball with your dog just as I would my own.
“Yet again, Marisa has continued to exceed all expectations in carrying for our kitties and our home. Not only does she regularly collect the mail and packages for us, but when a bear got into our trash and spread it all over the driveway, Marisa spent time cleaning it all up before we returned home. I can’t express a higher recommendation for Marisa, we’d give her 6 stars if we could!”

“Michael came over to our house 2 times a day to feed our 2 Rottie shepherd mixes and let them out to use the bathroom. Him and his family were so great with the dogs! Our dogs are incredibly happy and looked like they had the best time ever in every pic! Michael came over in advance to meet the puppies and get an idea of what we needed, which I really appreciated! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our babies. If you are on the fence about who to select and reading everyone’s reviews like I did, I can say Michael was great and we will be recurrent customers for sure and plan on rebooking him for future travels we have coming up! Thank you so much again Michael and family! Our puppies are so happy!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child. My parents owned 10 acres and I helped care for dogs, pigs, rabbits, birds, sheep, goats and more. I currently own a four year-old golden retriever who I have trained since a puppy, and I am currently beginning training for him to become a Therapy dog so he can bring joy to others, as much as, he’s brought to me. I have been a physical therapist assistant for over 15 years and I am looking to focus more on my family who is getting older and the more important things in life. I’m also looking to find a new path with animals, which is why I am available daily with notice to ensure there is comfort for myself, my dog and for you and your pet as well! I have a 2 1/2 acre yard, it is not fenced so I would need to know if your dog needs to be on a leash or is trained to stay by command. My dog Oakley is four years old, trained by commands and is extremely friendly and has never had any problems with another dog. I sadly cannot take cats because he is scared of them. I am home 24/7, so I am able to be there for all their care, especially if younger and needing to be let out more often or if older and need medicine given at certain times. I have a crate if needed that could be used for small, medium or large breeds.
“Our two dogs seemed to be at ease with Megan during a four hour "day care" at her residence. They came home happy, tired and healthy. I think that's a good sign. I met her two dogs and found them to be gentle and well-behaved. Although our dogs were with her for only a four hour stay that day, she still somehow managed to get nice, little walk in for them! At this point, I feel comfortable with Megan and her ability to care for our doggies and would use her service again. She's very professional, cordial and accommodating. She provided quick responses every time I had questions. Thanks!”
“Lori is the sweetest person I have ever met!! She was extremely kind to not only me but my dog as well. She went above and beyond and was incredibly flexible and understanding. She treated my dog like it was her own. I will always book my dog at her place because I know my dog has a great time there :)”

Mostly wooded, and does have a small creek. Your pup will get the opportunity to relax and enjoy the ability to either Lounge in the grass in the backyard or go for a walk through the woods.
About: Current availability: Monday through Friday 4 PM and after. Saturdays and Sundays TBD due to secondary job. Please message for any additional information. I’ve been a pet owner nearly my whole life. I have a beagle named Roxanne, she’s a sweetheart! I am confident in my skills and I would love to be able to help you keep your pooch taken care of! I am available almost anytime of day to do house visits, puppy sit, walk and play with your best k-9 friend. I have over 4 years experience walking dogs as a service with rover and think that you’d be satisfied with my service as I go above and beyond for customer satisfaction and provide the best pet care! I take pride in my love for animals and want to be able to make sure who ever I am serving feels comfortable with my abilities 😊 I also do drop in’s & sitting for cats if requested. PS: all photos shown in gallery are of pups that I have walked/babysat! I am available to provide services anytime I am not working. I do update my schedule frequently if there is a certain day I am not available. If you have any specific requests or asks I am very flexible. I do walks, drop ins & over night stays. I typically have a set regimen for how I care for pets if information is not provided or requests are not made. It all depends on what I’m requested for. Drop ins: take your pet outside to use the bathroom, clean up, make sure they are fed and have water and give them medication if needed. Walks: if they have a vest/coat i will put it on for them and take them around the closest neighborhood- or safest close by park. Over night stays: I always begin by making sure they use the bathroom. I will then make sure they are fed, have water and give medication if necessary. If there is an open yard that is enclosed by a fence I will play with them for at least 30-45 minutes before going in for the evening.
About: HI! I'm a young retired pet lover who is looking to help out fur babies families! I am available for house sitting and pet hosting at my home. Being retired, I am not on a regular schedule so I am home most often, but just like everyone, I do have appointments, shopping etc outside the home. I try to not be gone more than 5 hours at a time. I have had many dogs and cats in my life but none right now. I have been helping family and friends my whole life with pet sitting. I have helped with Chihuahua’s to PitBulls! I try to keep your fur babies on the same routine they have with you. Since I'm retired, I can take them on several walks a day. I am patient and enjoy large dogs as well as small. I am the perfect choice if your fur baby does better without other pets or children around. Or may be shy or skittish. Bring a couple favorite toys! I am retired but do help with caregiving of two family members so I am gone up to 5 hours at a time a couple times a week. Your fur baby is allowed on my couch and bed. I have a great fenced yard for throwing balls! I have a covered back porch so most fur babies love to lay outside but are under cover
About: I (Eren) have been a veterinary technician since 2023, working in a variety of settings including a clinic, shelter, and university research hospital caring for special-needs dogs. Through this experience, I’m comfortable with medical care, senior pets, administering medications, recognizing early signs of illness, and handling animals with unique behavioral needs. I’ve also had animals my entire life, from cats and dogs to exotics, so I understand how different every species (and every personality!) can be. I’m patient, gentle, and confident with shy or anxious animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My partner Luca is also part of our Rover profile and shares this same passion for animal care. We have multiple pets together and work as a team to provide attentive, reliable care. Luca previously worked at the same clinic I’m at as a receptionist and veterinary assistant, and now works in a science lab where he also helps care for lab animals. His experience makes him calm, capable, and very comfortable handling a wide range of animals. What sets us apart is that we combine professional veterinary experience with genuine, everyday love for animals. Between the two of us, your pets will always have attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care. We currently have cats, ferrets, mice and 1 bearded dragon of our own, and we hold ourselves to the same high standard of care that we would want for them. Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine because animals have always been a huge part of our lives. I work full-time, but I schedule my Rover services around my work hours so that every visit gets my full attention. I’m typically available before or after work for drop-ins, walks, and evening check-ins, and I always communicate clearly about my availability. My partner Luca helps provide additional flexibility. He is a full-time student and works part-time in a lab, with a schedule that tends to stay consistent for longer periods. Because our schedules often complement each other, one of us is usually available when the other is not. This allows us to offer more consistent and reliable care throughout the day. Even with busy schedules, caring for animals is something we both genuinely enjoy and make time for, and we never take on more than we can fully commit to. We primarily care for pets in our clients’ homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. As a veterinary technician, safety is always my first priority. We follow your pet’s normal routines closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and playtime, while also keeping an eye out for any early signs of stress or illness. We’re respectful of your home, trustworthy with your space, and committed to creating a calm, clean environment for your pets while you’re away. We provide regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I am able to handle any size dog and provide the physical demands and stamina of going on walks as an athlete. I have watched and walked a variety of dogs and know that they each have different personalities and needs which I am able to accommodate for. I daily feed and walks my two-family dogs every day for about a mile. I also take them to trails so they can see a different scenery. As a dog walker, I am able to walk at different speeds and different distances depending on the dog, and for drop in visits. I am able to feed, play with, and make sure they are taken care of.
“Jenna took great care of our Goldendoodle, Finn, while we were away. She was responsible, communicative, and always showed up as scheduled. We especially appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which gave us peace of mind knowing Finn was happy and well cared for. She followed his feeding schedule carefully and made sure he received his medications as instructed. Finn seemed very comfortable with her, and we were grateful to have someone dependable looking after him. Thank you, Jenna, for taking such good care of our pup!”
About: My name is Cassy and I’ve been recommended for dog/cat sitting. I’m excellent with instructions, and have a warm heart for furry friends. Pets are the heart of the home! Medication administration is a important process that I take very seriously. I’m currently working as a Special Education teacher’sand would love to take care of animals in my free time. My work schedule starts at 9:00 am until 3:15 pm Monday through Friday. Let’s communicate our schedules and we’ll make it work for us and your furry friends. Thank you for opening up your home! I will come in and let your pets smell my hand to make a positive association while we have a chat about the best schedule for your fur baby. I will take care of your beloved pet in the comfort of your own home and the sidewalks of your neighborhood. Your best friend will be in good hands with me. We can go through your four legged companion(s) detailed plan together so I can give them the best care possible.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child. My parents owned 10 acres and I helped care for dogs, pigs, rabbits, birds, sheep, goats and more. I currently own a four year-old golden retriever who I have trained since a puppy, and I am currently beginning training for him to become a Therapy dog so he can bring joy to others, as much as, he’s brought to me. I have been a physical therapist assistant for over 15 years and I am looking to focus more on my family who is getting older and the more important things in life. I’m also looking to find a new path with animals, which is why I am available daily with notice to ensure there is comfort for myself, my dog and for you and your pet as well! I have a 2 1/2 acre yard, it is not fenced so I would need to know if your dog needs to be on a leash or is trained to stay by command. My dog Oakley is four years old, trained by commands and is extremely friendly and has never had any problems with another dog. I sadly cannot take cats because he is scared of them. I am home 24/7, so I am able to be there for all their care, especially if younger and needing to be let out more often or if older and need medicine given at certain times. I have a crate if needed that could be used for small, medium or large breeds.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life for 21, helping to raise and train them from 8 weeks old to crossing the rainbow bridge. I have my bachelor’s degree in Animal Behavior and I’m excited to take care of your pets! I have a decent amount of free time with my work schedule, giving me time to walk your dogs and give them all the love they deserve! I work 12 hour shifts two or three days at a time. I have cared for many friends’ furry friends as well as having worked in a doggy daycare. Your pet’s safety is my top priority while creating a trustworthy bond with you and your pet.

About: I spent my youth training to be a vet and fostering dogs. I learned a lot at vet school, namely that I couldn't ever deliver the final act of compassion. So, I turned my attention to my true passion - caring for dogs! I have been dog sitting for over 15 years and I love it. Every new dog that I meet reminds me how much I love dogs. I am flexible to the needs of every dog I care for and will make their experience with me as similar to their home life as possible. I have two dogs of my own, but they LOVE meeting new dogs to play with. If your dog is not as keen to new friendships, I can separate them all with ease. I have only one hard line, I need to meet you and your dog before the stay. I have learned that it is the best way to ensure your dog's comfort in their stay. I did not always adhere to this and I have seen some very stressed out fur babies. I want your fur pups happy and healthy as much as you do! Thank you for your consideration. I work from home so, I will be with your dogs all day. If we have any grocery trips or daycare drop offs, they will be crated for those brief periods. We keep our dog-less activities to a minimum during pet stays. We have no fence and our dogs run off-leash. With your dogs, I will walk them leashed because dogs (like children) test boundaries. We also go to creeks and hikes very often, and your dogs will join us leashed (if you approve).
