“Debbie and her husband, Phil are truly the best dog sitters! I don’t ever worry when my dog, Jasper is there. She is so gracious to send a lot of pictures and videos. Her huge fenced in yard is amazing. Jasper loves to run with the other dogs. When I picked up Jasper this last time, he actually started to pull on his leash back towards Debbie’s to go back inside! Lol I give them 5 stars always, they deserve it!”
“Mandy and her family has been wonderful for Lala’s first time with them. Lala seems very comfortable with them and we feel she was well look after. Will definitely reach out again to them if we ever need help.”
“Megan did a great job with Henrik. She sent plenty of pictures, and when I picked him up he was happy and tired (clearly well-exercised!). Megan was easy to communicate with and I will have Henrik stay with her in the future!”
“Dannah and her dog Elphie are the best sitters! Dannah is very communicative and trustworthy. My dog is now best buddies with Elphie. She gets lots of exercise and attention when she stays with them. I always feel my dog is safe and well cared for. Dannah sends daily photos and videos of the dogs playing and cuddling together!”
“GREAT overall experience! Crystal was polite and easy to work with. She provided contestant updates of my dog and made our first dog-sitting experience a good one! I most definitely recommend Crystal for all needs!”
“Alexandra has walked my dog for me in the past and just boarded him for the weekend for me too. If I could give her more than five stars- I would. She’s a sweetheart and I know my dog is always safe & entertained with her. She even went above and beyond and came and picked him up for me to make things easier. She sent pictures & videos throughout the whole weekend which we loved! I’d definitely recommend her and will always use her in the future. Thanks again Alex!!! ☺️”
“Thank you so much ms.Nicole accommodating us short notice . .. she is awesome ! Can’t thank her enough for taking care of fiz :) . Fiz is super happy and relax thank you”
“We are so lucky to have Celestia and Ryan to take care of our senior dog Fiona. Pictures were sent several times a day easing my mind. Fiona takes medicine and I am never worried about her welfare while we are away. Thank you for always taking care of our sweet girl.”
“Amber kept me updated twice a day on how my boy was doing. This was his first time away from me and my first time boarding him for several days. I'm pleased with how well he did and her attention to his needs. In the future, I will use Amber again.”
“Rosa is amazing!!!!!! This is my first time leaving my dog with a dog sitter for a week and he did so well with her. I’m so pleased that my doggy was so well cared for and will be definitely using Ms. Rosa again ?”
“What I appreciate the most about Emily and her pet sitting is that she's super flexible when it comes to my "fluid" schedule! She's always so cheerful when I bring my dogs to stay with her, and they both love staying at the farm, whether it's for a doggie daycare visit or weekend/ overnight stay!! Thanks to Emily, and her family, I feel my babies are safe and well cared for while I'm away.”
“Jill and Scott were great with my dog! They took pictures and sent me updates everyday. They even met my niece with Lasso to exchange him! Everything was so smooth and easy and we really appreciate it with just moving to town and having no one to care for our dog I would highly recommend them and I would definitely use them again”
“We were a nervous wreck leaving our 12 year old Baby with a stranger for the first time and for 10 days! Laura invited us to a meet and greet at her home before we left and she is the type of person that when you meet her and have a conversation, you feel like you’ve been friends for years! She took very good care of Baby and sent us texts with pics the whole time we were gone! I highly recommend her and I was thrilled when she said she would watch her again!”
“Liz and her family did an amazing job accommodating my Beagle Pitbull Mix Mollie ♥️. Sent lots of pictures and we're flexible with travel delays. I could tell she had a great time and was in safe, welcoming hands ✨♥️”
About: I have been passionate about the care of animals ever since I was a child. I’ve owned 4 dogs of my own and would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby. I now have the time and space to offer my home and large, fenced-in yard to dog sitting services for your dog’s needs. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. I work full-time from home, so I’m able to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My own dog, Kip, is part of a consistent schedule that includes two to three walks daily, outdoor time in our large fenced-in yard, playtime, and downtime for rest and cuddles. Because I’m home all day, dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods and are able to maintain a routine similar to what they’re used to at home. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, quiet companionship, or structured routines, and I enjoy making pet care a central part of my day rather than something I have to fit in around other commitments. When caring for dogs in my home, I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where they’re treated like part of the family. Because I work full-time from home, dogs in my care receive 24/7 supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Dogs enjoy two to three daily walks, outdoor time in my large, fully fenced-in yard, and plenty of playtime, enrichment, and affection. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and energy level to ensure they feel secure and relaxed. My home is calm, dog-friendly, and well-suited for providing consistent care, whether a dog loves active play or prefers a quieter, more relaxed environment. Safety, communication, and individualized care are always my top priorities, and my goal is to make every dog feel at home while their owner is away.
“Hopper had the best time! He loved being with Amy and Milo so much, he jumped out of the car and ran back to their house. Amy and her daughter were wonderful with our baby. 100% recommend them to watch your babies! Will definitely book again”

“Suzanne did an excellent job with our three cats. We met in advance and introduced her to them. She cared for them so well that I was able to enjoy time with my family and not worry. Her ability to visit multiple times a day ensured our senior girls received all their meds in a timely manner. I highly recommend her and would use her again!”
“Camryn was amazing 🥲! She took so many pictures and cared for my babies just like I would. Meet and greet made me more than relieved to be leaving my cats in good hands. Would absolutely book her again and have already recommended her to others.”
About: I’m very good with cats on reading body language and taking care of them. I also love to clean so cleaning their litter boxes is no problem and if they need to take medications I will make sure they will get what they need at the time the cats have to take it.
About: My experience with cats includes providing consistent care such as feeding, grooming, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I am attentive to their behavior and needs. I have 3 cats of my own with each their own personality traits!
“Madison was very attentive to my requests and communicated well throughout the booking! The adorable pictures of my cat and detailed daily updates were a nice touch. I would definitely book Madison again in the future!”
“Beth has been incredibly loving and patient to my 2 cats when we were away from home. We enjoyed our vacation knowing that Beth stayed in with my 2 cats to take care of them. She treated my cats as if they were hers, provided them with utmost care, and spoiled them. She even let them use her own ipad so my cats could play the mice hunt in her ipad. She would update me everything whether they are sad, or not feeling well. But, she would reassure me that she would do her best to make them comfortable and eat and drink. I am now at ease that I found an amazing and trustworthy sitter if I have planned vacations next time.”
About: Cats scare me, and they know it. That being said, I like the little stinkers, and I'll talk to, and pet them all day if given the chance. Though, I am not willing to administer medication to cats.
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life, my pap had hunting dogs and we’ve had dogs in the house as long as I can remember. Pets and animals are my passion. I am recently unemployed and can watch dogs any weekday and occasionally the weekend but I’d be more than willing to discuss hours that you need and am more than willing to work with you. I have two very friendly dogs of my own, however I prefer watching them in your home, I love to go for walks myself so I can take them on plenty and I usually take my dogs out to go to the bathroom every hour.
“Jennifer and her family took very good care of our cat, Rocco. He received all the love and attention he craves every day. His medication was administered properly. He seemed to be very happy there. We will definitely be bringing him back.”
About: In the past I have volunteered a Forever Paws Animal Shelter as a cat room specialist. My job was to complete health checks, socialize, feed, groom, and clean the cats, as well as maintain the cleanliness of the rooms they dwelled in. I actually met my cat there! We created such a strong bond that I had to take him home and we have been inseparable since! I have also volunteered in a cat veterinarian clinic in the past, administering oral medications and helping handle.

About: Does your dog have a flair for the dramatics? Would your puppy enjoy long walks around the neighborhood while listening to recitations of Shakespeare's greatest works? I am a theatre professional who takes care of animals in her spare time. Your animals will be a part of my family just as any cast or crew member I work with. I like to stay active and have fun and would be the perfect companion to help watch over your fur baby for a couple of days or for a short break to play with them or take a walk. I have grown up with dogs, worked and volunteered with animal organizations, and have watched over friend's and family's dogs. No matter the canine, I am ready! I'm also a loving mom of two adorable cats

“Our dogs were well taken care of and you can tell Tracey really loves animals. We would definitely use her services again. Our dogs got a couple walks in during their day with her, and she kept us updated during their visit. 10/10”
About: I stand out from other pet sitters because I treat every animal as if they were my own, paying close attention to their unique personalities, routines, and needs.

I will keep pets safe by following owner instructions, supervising closely, maintaining routine, using leashes, restricting access, and monitoring health and behavior constantly carefully daily.
“Dannah is very attentive, caring, and welcoming. I especially appreciated her ensuring proper introduction to allow the dogs to get comfortable. Dannah goes above and beyond to care for the wide range of exercise needs and health conditions of her own pack regularly and extended that to my iggi pup. Already booked again!”
About: With 8 years of hands on pet care experience I provide loving, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I am especially experienced with dog care including gentle handling, medication support and mobility assistance. I am patient, detailed oriented and committed to keeping pets safe, happy and comfortable. I treat every dog like family while giving owners peace of mind with regular updates.

“Melissa was absolutely wonderful caring for our pup. She watched our boy for the day and I never had any doubt that he would not be well taken care of. Melissa is a great communicator and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Would highly recommend if you are looking for someone who is reliable, kind, and a dog lover.”
“I am very particular with my pup and her safety and I never feel nervous bringing her to Megan's place. She exercises her well and having other pups around helps to socialize my pup! Megan is top notch when it comes to help with training as well! She stays familiar with the rules I have for my dog and makes sure my dog is following the same rules in her home. Since my dog has been taken care of by Megan, she has learned how to walk better on a leash, learned new tricks and also reacts better with other dogs. Megan is extremely knowledgeable about dogs. This is the best doggy daycare I could ask for, perfect for any pup that doesn't want to be left at home, wants to learn new tricks, needs some or a lot of exercise, needs socialization with other dogs, needs some mind stimulation and much more. For all that Megan does, this doggy daycare is an absolute steal for the price!!”
“We love Erin and her dog Charlie! Erin had a good size yard that they both run like crazy in chasing each other. Erin always sends me updates through the day to let me know how our girl is doing!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet parent currently sharing my home with 3 cats, 2 dogs, a bunny, and a chinchilla. My family lovingly calls me the cat whisperer—but the truth is, animals of all kinds seem to feel at ease around me. With a lifetime of caring for pets, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to look after your furry (or fluffy!) family members. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or special care routines, I provide the same love and attention I give my own pets. I’m here to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and loved. Let’s make tails wag and whiskers twitch—I'd love to meet your pets! I work from home and have a pretty flexible work schedule so your dog will be able to go outside multiple times a day, or whenever it needs to! While I have a large, open yard, it is unfenced—so for everyone’s safety, all visiting dogs are supervised at all times and never left outside unattended. My own two dogs are crate trained, and I use crates or safe indoor spaces as needed to ensure a calm and secure environment for every pet in my care. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities!
“Emily is ALWAYS willing to work with our mom's schedule! She's so great! She knows what we like and her pups are so much fun to play with, and when we get in the car to go home we can hardly keep our eyes open! Thank you, Emily and family! 💘 Kassie and Lucky”
“Jill was amazing! Delilah had so much fun with her and her fur babies, Riley and Kalliope. Very responsive and received lots of photos of Delilah enjoying her time there. Would recommend Jill for anyone needing someone to care for their fur babies, as they will be cared for like her own.”
“I feel so blessed to have found Rosa on Rover. She was so good with my 6-lb shitzu mix, Fiona. She sent me videos, updates, agreed to do a video call while I was on vacation and I have never seen Fiona so happy. She had her own vacation with Rosa and her family. I will certainly reach out to her again and I recommend her to anyone looking for a trusting and professional pet sitter. Thank you for everything, Rosa!!!”
“I was in town visiting relatives and needed last minute day care for my energetic lab while we went on a day trip to the city. Christy was very accommodating. I appreciated her flexibility, communication, and pictures. Buttercup looked like she has a great time with the family!”

About: I've had several dogs growing up into adulthood. I currently am employed as an EMT full-time 2 days a week, and a dog dad. My job allows me to see various dog behaviors, and how to deal with animals when they are stressed or in distress. As an animal lover myself, I know how hard it is to leave your loved one behind while away. I am trustworthy, respectful, and responsible; with credible references. I am currently looking to sit/walk during my off-time which happens to be about 5 days out of the week. I would be available anytime: morning, noon, or night. I have a larger dog named Bear. His name speaks for itself! He is 100 pounds of pure love for anything he sees. Bear is special and will give your pet space if need be. His previous best friend was a 6 pound Chihuahua!

About: I’ve taken care of pets for a very long time and each one has a fun personality. I have experience with many different kinds of dogs, cats, and farm animals.

About: I've had a plethora of animals over my 35 years of existence. Dog breeds include a Labrador, Border Collie, Beagle, German Shepard, and Chihuahua. Other species include six rats, one guinea pig, three rabbits, two corn snakes, and a bearded dragon. I do not have any children, and I'm living with my father. Together, we have two dogs, (one his, and the other mine), a garage cat (his), and a bearded dragon (mine). His dog is a German Shepard named Wren, and mine is a Chihuahua named Milo. Additionally, I quit the job I've had for years, so I have a fairly flexible schedule. All of our animals have schedules for everything. Potty breaks, food times, etc. We keep it fairly strict, but also know how to read our animals, and so the schedule is subject to slight changes. I can adapt, and learn new schedules for clients.

About: I have worked in the vet med field. Taking care of pets is part of the job. I was a kennel assistant as well. I am pet CPR and First Aid Certified, so you can have comfort that I will know what to do in emergency situations for your pets. Will take real time photos of your pets to keep you updated while you are away. I am going to school for becoming a certified veterinary technician. So I feel my skills help me help people with their pets. I have done house calls for giving medication, nail trims, and pet sitting. I WILL NOT take care of your pet if they are aggressive or have bitten someone in the past. For unvaccinated pets I will not take care of them if they have bitten someone. No acceptions! ALL pets are prefered to be up to date on vaccines. I also require a meet and greet of your pets prior to any services so they get to know me and no complications arise, especially for house sitting. I will come to your house and do anything they would need, making it more comfortable for your pet. Whether it be walking your pets, pet sitting, giving medication, nail trims, or taking them out to potty.
About: Large Animal Science graduate, have completed the vet tech, dog grooming, and agility courses at BCAHS. Experience with diverse/exotic animal caretaking rolls, canine cpr certified, lots of experience with difficult dog breeds. My schedule with work is very flexible. Usually I tend to walk my dog for a 1-2 hours a day. It is extremely important that my dog Nala gets exercise each day to make sure she stays happy and healthy. Sometimes I also take my cat on the walks as well (he loves spending time outside with his sister with his harness and leash on!). Weekends have much more flexibility with my schedule. It is extremely important to make sure that any animal feels comfortable in their environment. Giving them the opportunity to take bathroom breaks and keeping pets on their normal schedule is very important. Giving pets access to fresh drinking water, specific foods, and medications as needed is also crucial. Providing proper exercise and mental enrichment only helps to further improve an animal’s experience in their surroundings as well.

“Jill and Scott were great with my dog! They took pictures and sent me updates everyday. They even met my niece with Lasso to exchange him! Everything was so smooth and easy and we really appreciate it with just moving to town and having no one to care for our dog I would highly recommend them and I would definitely use them again”
“We were a nervous wreck leaving our 12 year old Baby with a stranger for the first time and for 10 days! Laura invited us to a meet and greet at her home before we left and she is the type of person that when you meet her and have a conversation, you feel like you’ve been friends for years! She took very good care of Baby and sent us texts with pics the whole time we were gone! I highly recommend her and I was thrilled when she said she would watch her again!”
About: I have been passionate about the care of animals ever since I was a child. I’ve owned 4 dogs of my own and would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby. I now have the time and space to offer my home and large, fenced-in yard to dog sitting services for your dog’s needs. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. I work full-time from home, so I’m able to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My own dog, Kip, is part of a consistent schedule that includes two to three walks daily, outdoor time in our large fenced-in yard, playtime, and downtime for rest and cuddles. Because I’m home all day, dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods and are able to maintain a routine similar to what they’re used to at home. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, quiet companionship, or structured routines, and I enjoy making pet care a central part of my day rather than something I have to fit in around other commitments. When caring for dogs in my home, I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where they’re treated like part of the family. Because I work full-time from home, dogs in my care receive 24/7 supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Dogs enjoy two to three daily walks, outdoor time in my large, fully fenced-in yard, and plenty of playtime, enrichment, and affection. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and energy level to ensure they feel secure and relaxed. My home is calm, dog-friendly, and well-suited for providing consistent care, whether a dog loves active play or prefers a quieter, more relaxed environment. Safety, communication, and individualized care are always my top priorities, and my goal is to make every dog feel at home while their owner is away.
“Hopper had the best time! He loved being with Amy and Milo so much, he jumped out of the car and ran back to their house. Amy and her daughter were wonderful with our baby. 100% recommend them to watch your babies! Will definitely book again”
About: I love dogs! Over the last 15 years I have fostered over 90 dogs and have owned 7 myself. I currently have 2 pups living with my husband and I. I enjoy loving on them and giving them an amazing life. Dogs have always been a vital part of my life and being able to provide a safe loving environment for other people's dogs makes my heart happy. My husband and I both work from home and are home bodies. Someone is home 96% of the time. I can provide frequent potty breaks and accommodate any schedule your pup is on. I have a small fenced yard and 2 fur kids to n keep your dog company. We can go on walks, always on leash. And best of all inclusive offer lots of love and attention to your pup. I will provide pics and videos of your pets.care and time with me.
About: I've raised both of my dogs since they were puppies and understand how important consistency is. I enjoy learning about each dog I meet and discovering ways to connect with them. Dog hugs are just a plus! My pet care availability will typically be before 8am and after 4:30pm during the week. I would also consider overnight bookings during the week. Weekends, I am typically available at all times day and night. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I live in an area with a great walking trail and a dog park we can visit. I also have an available crate (Large) with a dog bed and plenty of dog food/treats to share.
“I was able to thoroughly relax and enjoy my own vacation knowing that Maggie was loved, well care for, and had other dogs to play with. I will definitely keep this service and Kristen M. in my contacts for all my future needs.”
About: I stand out from other pet sitters because I treat every animal as if they were my own, paying close attention to their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, so you’ll always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, providing extra playtime, or giving nervous pets the patience they need, I go the extra mile to make sure both pets and their owners feel completely at ease. Pet sitting is something I truly enjoy, and I do this full time to make sure your pets are always cared for. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or overnight care, I’m always here when you need reliable, attentive care. I will keep pets safe by following owner instructions, supervising closely, maintaining routine, using leashes, restricting access, and monitoring health and behavior constantly carefully daily.
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I lived on a farm for years with cows, chickens, turkeys, and quail! Big or small, scaley or fluffy, I love all animals and will give them the respect and care they need. 150lb newfy who wants head pats and to drool on me? Absolutely! 6lb 20 year old cat who wants to yell at me and avoid eye contact? Say less. I've dealt with epileptic dogs, bladder stones in cats, and even beakless chickens. I'm up for any challenge! As someone lucky enough to work from home, I can position my job around your pet schedule. Weather I bring my laptop and snuggle up with your pup for the afternoon, take lunch and take a walk with your pooch, or stop in in the evening after my shift to give your cat head kisses. I'm flexible and willing to work with you. Whatever your pets need, I'm your gal. I had 6 dogs growing up and like to think I know how to read them. Your pets safety and your trust in me are my top priority. As an overbearing cat mom, I know just how important your pets are to your family.
