“Lorraine is a great dog sitter. She has watched our Lilly twice now and it has been a live saver! Nice to have a place close to home when we go on short getaways”
“We were very pleased with Debbie W. The setup is welcoming for a new dog, as long as the dog is friendly with other dogs, as ours is. They have a big fenced-in yard so that the dogs can spend lots of time outdoors. Debbie sent us lots of updates while our dog with staying with her, so that we were reassured the dog was doing well. This included how she ate and slept, which are the two most important pieces of information.”
“Megan was such a joy to work with. She took excellent care of Luna, provided plenty of pictures, and insight into how the week was going. We could tell how much fun Luna was having and knew she was in great hands. It’s clear that Megan truly has a love of dogs and we were so thankful to have found her. We will certainly be reaching out to Megan again in the future!”
“Deirdre was WONDERFUL! From our 1st interaction, to our meet and greet, to our 1st play time day with her and her pups, we thoroughly enjoyed our experiences with her. We trust her with our dear boy.”
“So my dog stayed for the first time this past weekend. He was well taken care of and I got daily photos and updates on him. I already booked another boarding with her for both of my dogs. I love the pick up and drop off service. It’s so convenient when you’re traveling to not have to worry about dropping your pets off or picking them up after a vacation. This is a great addition to her services.”
“Amber and her family did a wonderful job with our fur babies ! Daily morning and evening pictures and updates of our boys ! Would recommend and would definitely book again !”
“Hailey did an amazing job with Kylo. We were worried about leaving him since he has never been to a new place with us. She did such a great job with him and sent us photos of his stay. He felt we didn't have to worry at all. We are so happy we chose Hailey to watch our family member. We recommend her to anyone who wants to feel carefree when they have to leave their pet behind.”
“Laura was extremely communicative prior to and throughout Harley's stay with her and her dog, Winter. Harley and Winter kept each other busy and the huge fenced rear yard was perfect for him to burn off energy. When indoors, Harley got plenty of love!”
“She was great! Luna was having some digestive issues while we were out of state, she went above and beyond to make sure Luna was okay until we got back. Thank you again!”
About: Hi! My name is Joan. I am recently retired and live on a farm. I have had dogs most of my life and have felt the passion to start dog sitting after losing our 15 yr old beloved dog fairly recently. I sure miss having furry four legged ones around to share my love for dogs, and want to be able to love on yours as I would my own. Having used Rover many times in the past for our own dog over the years, I know how very important it is to find someone you know you can trust to love & care for your pup, that perfect place that you won’t have to worry about them while you hoomans are away, that would be Me! I live on a farm with lots of acreage for running and playing. I also have experience with administering medications if needed. I want to make a worry free home away from home experience for your best friend(s) while mom & dad are away. With being retired, and pretty much a homebody, I will make sure that I will be home at all times to care for your pup. Potty breaks and play time will be frequent, with living on a farm we will be sure and have plenty of walking and running space for your pup. I live on a tucked off the road farm with plenty of acreage to run and play. Our farm is not a working farm, meaning we have no farm animals on the property. I have never crated any of my dogs, therefore I would not be crating yours unless of course you ask me to and provide the crate.
“Emily was very kind and kept me updated on my dog while he was under her care. I wasn’t very happy that the other dog she was sitting chewed up my dogs bed a bit but other than that everything was great.”
“Tessie was amazing! She took great care of our dog while we were away for nearly a week. She sent updates and multiple pictures every day. It gave us great peace of mind about leaving our dog for the first time. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her services again in the future. Thanks again Tessie!”
“Absolutely wonderful taking care of Jasper. He had a great time there. Avary does a great job of keeping in touch and sending pictures. Jasper came back tired, so I know he was having a lot of fun. I will not hesitate to have Avary watch him anytime we go on trips.”
“Winnie's stay with Rosa could not have gone any better. We were a little apprehensive at first because we were afraid Winnie wouldn't feel comfortable, but our worries proved to be just that....merely worries. Rosa was very considerate to Winnie's needs and her feelings. She was also very considerate with us by sending us pictures multiple times a day as well as keeping an open line of constant communication. She was very comforting as well as very professional. We really could not have asked for a better family to watch our Winnie. We would recommend them to anyone.”

“I can't recommend Megan highly enough, she's incredibly reliable and trustworthy! My two fur babies, normally very wary of strangers, absolutely love her. She sent thoughtful daily updates and photos while we were away, and replied to messages super quickly! Thank you, Megan, I'm so relieved to have found someone I can truly trust with my fur babies!”
About: I have had pets all my life! Cats and dogs! I currently have two labs. I am comfortable of taking care of dogs of any age or size. One of my dogs is currently on medication so I’m comfortable with giving dogs medication if needed! I work a full time job and have my two girls to take care of. I would be able to take care of your pets before and after work or on the weekends if I have availability! I will not be taking care of pets in my home at this time due to having two dogs of my own. Sorry for the inconvenience.
“Jule was a God-send for me while I was on vacation! She made sure their food and water was filled, scooped the litter boxes, swept up around the litter boxes, and stayed and played with the kitties for awhile. She took lots of pictures to send to me while I was away. My white cat, Tigger, hides whenever anyone comes over (he only stays out for me) and she had pictures of him laying on the couch!!! He was relaxed and didn’t feel scared. It’s so nice knowing I have someone I can depend on because in the past I have struggled to find someone that I could 100% depend on. Thanks Jule. The kitties thank you too!”
About: “I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 15 Neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and give plenty of love to their pets.

“Both of my cats have their quirks and health needs, but Dani was able to ease my worries about leaving them in her care. She was great with communication at each visit and didn't hesitate to reach out with anything to make sure my boys got what they needed while I was away. I came home to safe, happy cats and I would definitely have her check in on them again in the future!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for 4 years and have been around all kinds of dogs my whole life. I’m experienced with different temperaments, routines, and care needs, and I always provide patient, attentive care. I mainly have experience with older dogs (1 year to senior) and don’t shy away from the many needs dogs require in their twilight years. I primarily have been dog sitting for a close friend with two beagle mixes and can tell you they gave me enough experience to be able to handle the high energy and stubbornness that comes with their breed. I’m a huge animal lover so it’s all worth it in the end when our furry friends are happy and thriving! Due to life circumstances I am currently between jobs so my hours are set between 8am to 8pm ( not including overnight stays). Fell free to contact me for hour negotiations! I take great care in respecting the homes of pets and owners when I’m providing care. I strive to prevent messes when possible and make sure pets are fed, watered and their spaces are well maintained and home owners spaces are left the same or better than when they departed.
About: I never had a cat growing up. When my children were in kindergarten a newborn kitten that was rejected by its mother entered our lives. My daughter bottle fed Leo and was his main caregiver. To her dismay, Leo chose me. We spent 20 years together. I miss that guy, anyway, I have gotten to know my friends and families cats and I am the designated cat sitter when they are in need.
About: Cats are such energetic, lovable, and curious companions! I’ve had them in my life since I was young, and I never get tired of seeing their unique personalities shine. I truly enjoy caring for them. Whether it’s cuddling, playing, feeding or simply keeping them company. I have experience giving medicine when needed and always do my best to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I have a special place in my heart for cats as both of my cat babies were off the street stray rescue kittens that I have nursed back to health. I have a Russian blue and an orange one! I can do whatever cat care is needed and know how to get along with some feisty cats.🐈 ❤️
About: Back home I took care of many animals in my town. I raised a Husky, a Boxer-Lab, a Leopard Gecko and a Bearded Dragon as well. I have taken care of plenty of dogs, cats, puppies and even some farm animals for friends. Groomed, Served ice cream to dogs and cats at an animal ice cream parlor, walked dogs, dog-sat, and raised some amazing animals which tuned me into true animal care. I am currently raising an Australian Shepherd, Ziggy! He is full of life and super eager-to-learn, high maintenance too which is right up my alley. He is leash trained and off-leash, potty trained and loves to go to dog parks and run around till he can’t no more! Daily we walk Ziggy around town, give him plenty of potty breaks and playtime! He loves tossing around teddy bears and licking play-mats in his free time. I wake up and feed Ziggy, then take him outside, and feed him for dinner as well. We train him every day with certain commands and tricks. With all of my animals, I make sure to get them outside enough and play with them as much as I can. At home I always make sure my animals get fed twice a day and have water at all times and I always have water when going out on long walks, drives, and to the park. I am super on-top-of making sure they get enough potty breaks and teach them how to react a certain way when I ask if they want “Outside?Potty?” to house train.
About: I used to hate cats when I was a kid until I got my first cat, Sombra. She was found on the side of the road as a kitten by a friend and asked if my mother and I could take her in. I was hesitant at first, but decided to give her a chance. 9 years later, and I love her to death, despite her feisty attitude. Most recently,2 years ago, I found 2 more black kittens in an abandoned building, a brother and sister. We took them in with the intention of fostering them until they were old enough to adopt out, but unfortunately, since black cats aren't popular, no one wanted them. I decided to keep them for myself, and now Milan and Marcille are happily living together, with Sombra. (all of my cats are indoor cats)
About: Having had numerous feline companions, I have developed a deep understanding of their needs and body language, which makes me exceptionally equipped to take care of cats. My journey with cats began at a young age, and over the years, I have become deeply attuned to their distinct personalities and behaviors. I derive great pleasure from deciphering the unique language of cats and providing them with the care and affection they deserve. Cats are known for their independence, but they also require a sensitive and attentive caretaker who recognizes when they need affection, space, or medical care. My experience has taught me to identify subtle changes in a cat’s behavior, which can often indicate health issues or stress. This skill is essential in ensuring that a cat remains healthy and happy throughout its life. Furthermore, I have spent considerable time educating myself about feline nutrition and health. This includes learning about the best dietary practices, understanding the importance of regular vet visits, and staying informed about common feline ailments. This knowledge allows me to provide the best possible care for any cat under my supervision. Moreover, I am adept at handling various cat temperaments, from the most sociable to the more reserved or skittish cats. My patience and ability to adapt my approach based on a cat's personality have allowed me to form strong bonds with cats, making them feel safe and loved. In conclusion, my extensive experience, coupled with a genuine love and respect for cats, makes me ideally suited to take care of feline companions. I am committed to providing a nurturing, stimulating, and healthy environment for any cat that becomes a part of my life.

I always let my dog out and walk him, make sure he always have water and food. I love to walk dogs and make sure to watch for other pets to see if they are friendly or not.
About: I’ve always loved being around cats and have hands-on experience caring for them in both home and work settings. I have a cat of my own, have helped care for a friend’s kitten, and work with cats regularly. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and giving lots of gentle attention. I’m also experienced in giving oral medications when needed. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I take the time to make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“I was very nervous leaving my new puppy for an entire day, but had no other choice. I found Lorraine on Rover.com. She was so very sweet to Bella, and I felt confident that Bella would have a great time spending the day with her and her husband.

Evenings are for winding down with another walk, a little play, and lots of affection before bedtime. Your pet won’t just get “checked in on”—they’ll be a regular part of my day. In my home, pets get a safe, cozy space, regular walks or playtime, fresh food and water, and plenty of love. In a client’s home, I stick to their normal routine—feeding, walks, play—while giving them the same care and attention they’d get if you were there.
“I was worried about leaving my Bella with a sitter because I'd never done it. Christy was very sweet and assured me my baby would be fine. She allowed me to stay in her home for a few minutes to see how Bella would interact with her dogs and family. I got pictures and videos and that made me feel much better. I was very anxious but was able to enjoy the day with my husband. Thank you Christy for taking good care of my baby.”

“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!”

I take care of my family Shih Tzu daily and have cared for our late Domestic Longhair cat; as well as my sister’s Australian Labradoodle, her long-haired kitty, and my Aunt’s 3 Italian Greyhounds on occasion. I’ve also had experience watching a Westie and other larger Labradoodles. Pet care comes naturally and second-nature as I’ve had pets in my home all my life.

About: I've taken care and rescued all sorts of animals from guinea pigs to giant pitties. I have been in rescue for about 9 years. It comes out of pocket, but if I don't save them or help who will? I am also good at medication injection and oral administration of medication as well. I can do walks, check in's, doggy day care, house sit, etc. I will accommodate your needs for your furbaby. I am not afraid of bigger dogs as most people might be. I think of them as giant teddy bears. I will send plenty of updates and pictures as I know leaving your furbaby with a stranger can be absolutely nerve wrecking. Whatever makes my customer happy I will be more than willing to meet their request. Just give me instruction, your furbabies name, any allergies, medications, walk/yard time and frequency, feeding schedule, and any other information you see fit and I guarantee your precious furbaby will find a new friend! I am currently employed part time and in school part time this semster over at Johnson College for Veterinary Nursing. My schedule is pretty packed, but I will make accommodations with you to accommodate the needs of your furbabies or ones with scales. I moved in March of last year so boarding at the new place might be a bit busy. I do have enough room to accommodate at least 3 dogs. I don't have a fenced in yard at my apartment however I love to take them on long walks. I have walked dogs of all sizes. Super tiny to 100+lbs. I also have my own pupper Krypto so if boarding at my home please make sure your dog is other dog friendly as well as cats. I have 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 rat and a goldfish. If you are looking to board in my home I suggest a meet & greet to make sure your furbabies and mine are safe for their stay. I care for my clients furbabies like they are my own. I make sure the furbabies are happy and healthy. I will make sure my clients needs and wants are met. If you need me to watch them at your house, your house will be treated like my home.

“Lorraine is a great dog sitter. She has watched our Lilly twice now and it has been a live saver! Nice to have a place close to home when we go on short getaways”
“Megan was such a joy to work with. She took excellent care of Luna, provided plenty of pictures, and insight into how the week was going. We could tell how much fun Luna was having and knew she was in great hands. It’s clear that Megan truly has a love of dogs and we were so thankful to have found her. We will certainly be reaching out to Megan again in the future!”
“Deirdre was WONDERFUL! From our 1st interaction, to our meet and greet, to our 1st play time day with her and her pups, we thoroughly enjoyed our experiences with her. We trust her with our dear boy.”
“So my dog stayed for the first time this past weekend. He was well taken care of and I got daily photos and updates on him. I already booked another boarding with her for both of my dogs. I love the pick up and drop off service. It’s so convenient when you’re traveling to not have to worry about dropping your pets off or picking them up after a vacation. This is a great addition to her services.”
“Hailey did an amazing job with Kylo. We were worried about leaving him since he has never been to a new place with us. She did such a great job with him and sent us photos of his stay. He felt we didn't have to worry at all. We are so happy we chose Hailey to watch our family member. We recommend her to anyone who wants to feel carefree when they have to leave their pet behind.”
“Laura was extremely communicative prior to and throughout Harley's stay with her and her dog, Winter. Harley and Winter kept each other busy and the huge fenced rear yard was perfect for him to burn off energy. When indoors, Harley got plenty of love!”
“She was great! Luna was having some digestive issues while we were out of state, she went above and beyond to make sure Luna was okay until we got back. Thank you again!”
About: Hi! My name is Joan. I am recently retired and live on a farm. I have had dogs most of my life and have felt the passion to start dog sitting after losing our 15 yr old beloved dog fairly recently. I sure miss having furry four legged ones around to share my love for dogs, and want to be able to love on yours as I would my own. Having used Rover many times in the past for our own dog over the years, I know how very important it is to find someone you know you can trust to love & care for your pup, that perfect place that you won’t have to worry about them while you hoomans are away, that would be Me! I live on a farm with lots of acreage for running and playing. I also have experience with administering medications if needed. I want to make a worry free home away from home experience for your best friend(s) while mom & dad are away. With being retired, and pretty much a homebody, I will make sure that I will be home at all times to care for your pup. Potty breaks and play time will be frequent, with living on a farm we will be sure and have plenty of walking and running space for your pup. I live on a tucked off the road farm with plenty of acreage to run and play. Our farm is not a working farm, meaning we have no farm animals on the property. I have never crated any of my dogs, therefore I would not be crating yours unless of course you ask me to and provide the crate.
“Emily was very kind and kept me updated on my dog while he was under her care. I wasn’t very happy that the other dog she was sitting chewed up my dogs bed a bit but other than that everything was great.”
“Tessie was amazing! She took great care of our dog while we were away for nearly a week. She sent updates and multiple pictures every day. It gave us great peace of mind about leaving our dog for the first time. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her services again in the future. Thanks again Tessie!”
“Absolutely wonderful taking care of Jasper. He had a great time there. Avary does a great job of keeping in touch and sending pictures. Jasper came back tired, so I know he was having a lot of fun. I will not hesitate to have Avary watch him anytime we go on trips.”
“Lynnea and her husband were amazing with Rocco. She constantly updated over the weekend when we gave Rocco over to her care. Rocco loved being with them, and playing with their pet dog, Ruger. I 10/10 would recommend you guys to entrust your pets to her, as I will definitely be using them again.”
“Emily was very accommodating and friendly. My golden doodle had a great time spending the week with her. She sent daily updates to let me know how my girl was doing. She was willing to giver her medication daily and listened to any concerns or routines my pup has and react to them. Great experience! Will use again!”
“Jule took the such good care of my two Portuguese water dogs. They took such a liking to her and you could tell how comfortable they were around her. Any time I need dog care in the area she will be my first call!”
