When she cared for them she was attentive to their needs, checked the litter box and even brought in a package:)”

Exactly what you want when you’re away and not having to worry about your pets! She was also willing to help out with some house things also!! I would Highly recommend her to care for your pets!! She was very caring and loving! My one cat is very skittish & hardly comes out for me, and she was out everyday waiting to visit with Alexis!! Would have her back anytime to care for my pets!!!”

“Brittany is fantastic! I had to leave town for a 5-day conference and did not want to leave my cat Amelia in boarding because she is a rescue cat (with abandonment issues). Brittany got along marvelously with her, and dropped in each day to feed her and play with her for around a half hour. Her communication before and during my trip was great, and I loved the daily pictures she sent me of Amelia. Brittany is clearly an animal lover. I will use her again next time I travel!”

“Angelita was great!!! I needed a last minute sitter for my dogs, and she was more than happy to help. She texted me multiple updates throughout the day and even sent us home with a bag of treats!

About: I've trained (self taught) and cared for furr babies since I was 15 and have had various pets since the age of two! I specialize in caring for canines with separation anxiety and canines with vision issues. I enjoy basic command training (self taught) and giving your pup the extra love and care needed while you're unable to be with them! I’m a professional dog sitter! This is my full time career adventure! Your pup will enjoy leaded walks, controlled environmental play time, and a cozy home (mine or yours) with all the attention your pup could want or need! I do not have a fenced in yard, but your pup will be safely walked with a lead on our two-plus acre lot or on local trails! Controlled environmental play time is offered to pups who are trained to listen off lead!
“Heather is an amazing sitter ! Lola loves staying at her house and playing with her little dogs. She keeps me updated with pictures and videos during the day, which makes me very happy! Thank you Heather !”


“Beauty and her pack are wonderful! I can’t recommend Beauty enough to any pet owner! Our dog Freya had an amazing time and Beauty was very flexible when our plan changed to a later pick up time. She even offered to let Freya stay the night if that worked better for us. I can’t thank Beauty and the pack enough for giving us peace of mind when we can’t be with Freya!”

“I wish I could post 20 stars for this dog sitter! She was exceptional! Very sweet and personable and I know she took great care of our dog while she watched her. Savannah also communicated very well with us throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve always had a dog in my life, and I can’t imagine it any other way. Caring for dogs comes naturally to me, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Your pup will get plenty of attention, affection, and care—just like they would at home. I am a registered nurse and lifelong dog lover offering doggy daycare and overnight boarding in my home. My home features a large fenced-in yard for safe play and, during the summer months, supervised pool time for fun and cooling off. With my nursing background, I’m attentive, reliable, and comfortable following routines or administering medications if needed. Your dog will enjoy a loving, safe, and comfortable home while you’re away—and you can relax knowing they’re in caring hands. Flexible daily daycare and weekend overnight boarding in a safe and loving home. Dogs enjoy full access to the house and a large fenced in yard.

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training a high-energy Vizsla. I’m very comfortable with athletic breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent leadership. As an ultra-runner, I live an active lifestyle and understand how important physical activity is for a dog’s behavior and overall well-being. I’m confident handling strong dogs on leash, reinforcing basic commands, and maintaining clear boundaries in a calm, patient way. Because I work remotely, I have flexibility in my schedule and can reliably plan visits around your pet’s routine. I structure my week intentionally to ensure I’m never overbooked and can give each pet focused attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress. I follow feeding schedules carefully, reinforce any existing training or boundaries, and ensure water, litter boxes, and living areas remain clean and organized. For dogs, I tailor walks and exercise to their energy level while maintaining safe leash handling and awareness of surroundings. For cats, I focus on calm interaction, litter maintenance, enrichment, and respecting their comfort level. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own — locking doors securely, communicating clearly, and providing updates with photos when appropriate. If providing care in my home, I maintain a structured, safe environment with supervision and separation when needed to ensure comfort and safety for all pets.
“Stacy saved my behind today and was able to watch my boy so I could get to a wedding! It was my first time leaving him for a long period, and wanted someone to watch after him to put my mind at ease. It was also my first time using Rover and found it super easy and quick! I thought she did a wonderful job, loved the updates, and that there were other dogs for my boy to play with! Thanks again!!”

“Great sitters for our dog Meadow who tends to have a little separation anxiety. She felt very comfortable and at home there. I would definitely recommend to anyone.”

About: I have been an animal lover and had dogs my whole life. My first job was working at a boarding kennel at 14 years old. I have worked with many different breeds. I am experienced with boarding pets in my home, pet bathing experience/groomer in training, nail trimming, ability to give oral medications, insulin injections (I have had two diabetic dogs), walking dogs of any breed or size. At this time I am very flexible. My life revolves around animals. I can commit to your schedule to suit you and your pets needs. I have a fenced in back yard and live away from high traffic for safe walks, I have dogs of my own for your pup to have friends to play with. I can keep my dogs separate from yours if needed. Patient, and quiet loving home with pet's needs as my top priority. Can take them for car rides or snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie. I can pick your pet up and drop them off if needed.
“Courtney saved us from a last minute dog day care request. She sent me all the pictures of Dharmi having su much fun. Thank you Courtney for be so flexible, friendly and kind with my senior dog Dharmi. 🥰”

“Boots had a fantastic stay with Danielle and Brianna! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. He spent the day with their four dogs and had such a great time socializing and playing—we could tell he felt comfortable and happy in their care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such a welcoming and attentive environment. We’d absolutely trust them with Boots again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”

“Loved having Diane as a sitter. Sophie loved her and so did we. She’s high energy and Duane saw she had lots of walks and activity. You’d never be disappointed with Diane. Thanks so much for loving on our girl for the day. Thx for the umbrella too♥️”

“Jackson's first day with Megan & Vincent was full of sunshine, friends, & fun! Thank you for all the photos & updates throughout his stay. He came home happy & would like to come back to play again! :)”

I have always felt very connected to the natural world and have a great empathy for all creatures great and small. I began training and caretaking my own dogs at age 10. I fostered for years as an adult before adopting my Hawaiian rescue dog. Friends and family have relied on me to assist with their pets a lot in the past few years.

I work evenings and am happy to help with your pets during the day. I may be available day of - go ahead and send a request! I carry all clearances required for school teaching ( I also work in education) so I am a very safe choice :) I am very good at following your detailed instructions on how to best care for your pet.

About: Surrounded by dogs my whole life, I’ve always connected deeply with anything furry. If I could play with dogs all day for the rest of my life, I will find a way. I’m a student who likes animals more than people. My schedule is pretty flexible. I would love pop in visits or walks with your pup of any breed. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for about 5 years and if I win the lottery I’m adopting 200 dogs from every shelter within a 50 mile radius. Skills would include the ability to connect with dogs, play for hours, snuggle and give medicine when needed. Im also great with cats, plants, chickens, and ducks! Im available during holidays. Nature is a big part of my life so taking your doggie outdoors would benefit the both of us! Currently, I am working online so my schedule is flexible and I should be available to accommodate your needs! Located primarily in the southern end, the closer you are to me, the more flexible I can be. With a calm approach, I always take the animals safety and well-being first. Ensuring their comfort with me above all, I can meet any particular need your pet may have.
About: I have had dogs my entire life- grew up with a few family dogs through the years and as soon as I could, I found a dog for myself! I dog sit neighbors' dogs, friends' dogs, and even dogs of families that I babysat their kids! I enjoy spending time with dogs, big or small, crazy or laid-back, and I'm always looking for ways to earn some extra money while juggling a dynamic work schedule and getting my steps in for the day! I'm hoping to be able to make some new doggie friends by working with Rover, and make some connections to help people feel comfortable leaving their dogs in my care. If you have any questions for me, please do not hesitate to send me a message!
About: I have taken care of families dogs and my own dogs since I was 8-9. I have stayed at someone’s home to watch their animals(cats, ferret, parrot, dogs) and I have also done drop in visits.

I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and ages, providing care everywhere from huge yards to small city apartments. I love all animals as well, so I will care for and love your other pets too :) I work usually 9-6 schedule, so I could do morning visits, evening visits and lunchtime visits, but I am open and flexible to coordinate days and times you need. I am available usually anytime Sundays / Mondays as they are my days off. I can take your pets for walks anywhere out and about!

About: I had a border Collie for 17 years now an American shepherd for 1.5 years and he's fully trained already he's great just still a pup. Currently I work part time for an Amish company and I do morning pick ups and evening drop off with Thursday me being at the job all day. With time in advance I can move stuff around if need be. Im basically free all week during the times everyone is working. Well my dog i train and make sure he's behaving before he gets a reward. I don't always make him do stuff for tricks, but I practice commands daily and when it's not raining we go on walks, unfortunately he gets car sick so long drives aren't great for him still. I hug him tell him he's great tell him when he's done something bad as well, Play with toys and I'm currently working on him knowing what toy I'm telling him to get
About: I have a wide variety of pet walking and sitting experience. From my years taking care of pets, I have learned many important skills. Such as how to administer oral medication’s and interact with high energy dogs. I have also become very good at gaining cats trust and allowing them to tell me what they need from me. Ensuring that the pets I’m looking after feel safe and reassured in my presence until their family comes home is my biggest priority, even if it means spending a little extra time with them. I’m currently taking online classes over the summer which will restrict my night walking services, but my daytime hours are usually free. I am also available most weekends and mornings. Unfortunately I am not allowed to keep pets in my home. That being said I take great pride in making sure that I leave my client’s home cleaner than when I arrived. This can range from cleaning up, spilled water from water dishes, cleaning up any curbs that a pet might have left on the floor, or cleaning up any accidents that a pet might’ve accidentally had.
About: Grew up with cats and dogs, but I love all animals! Lots of people call me an animal whisperer because their animals respond so positive to me. I am working a part time job as I save up, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I love forming a relationship with your pets I care for them as if they are my own animals. Every animal has their own unique personality, but they all want to be loved
