Personalized care for your dog or cat - Drayton
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Drayton
“Having just traveled across the country, we found ourselves staying with relatives for a time while we waited for our new apartment to be open for us. Our standard poodle, Ranger, was not understanding why we never seemed to be going home, and that was what he wanted most to do. We were very thankful that our relatives had been able to accommodate us, however, having Ranger in their home was not working well for them. So, we looked for a rover.com care person in the area to help us out for the days until we could move into our apartment. That’s where Dee came in. She was gracious and accommodating. She opened her home to Ranger for ten days, and made him welcome. In other boarding situations in the past, he was cared for, but he ALWAYS lost a considerable amount of weight. Not with Dee!! Dee gave Ranger all of the TLC he needed even during this time that was so uncertain for him. She got her hands right into his food and mixed his Fresh Pet food with his kibble so that every piece of kibble was coated with the tastier food. And it worked! Because even though he may have been missing us, he ate! And he didn’t lose any weight! We could tell she had gone the extra mile with him, and we are very grateful for the care she gave him. Five stars doesn’t even say enough for how happy we are with the care she gave our Ranger.”
“Another great experience using Heather to take care of our sweet Zelda! We always rest assured she is taken care of and loved while we’re away! Receive daily pictures and updates and love the peace we feel knowing Zelda is safe and happy! Will continue to use Heather every time! Zelda loves her and her family and so do we!!”
“Angela and family were great! Lexi seemed like she was home away from home. I appreciate the updates via photos and messages. Lexi returned home her usual energetic self, not to mention clean minus a little red clay between her paws. 😊 I can tell she was playing outside which she loves! Would book again with Angela.”
“As always, Lauren and Jonathan did an amazing job taking care of our Chuck Norris. He tends to be hesitant with any males and completely loves Jonathan. We know he is in great hands when we leave him with Lauren and Jonathan. They are our go to sitters”
“Kashawna was kind, responsive, loving, and exactly what my four legged kid needed! Our baby is high maintenance with insulin twice a day, pain meds once a day, and snuggles all day. Kashawna and her family loved on her and took great care of her while I was on vacation. 10/10 recommend!”

“Anne was amazing with our dog Tyr, My boyfriend was very hesitant since this was his first time being away from him in 2 years, since Tyr was 6 weeks old. I was more worried about Tyr being somehwere new since he is a nonstop 60Lb ball of energy. But Anne was great and let them be their own selves while sending us updates and pictures. She was even gracious enough to take on my dog last minute when my sitter cancelled on me. I highly recommend Anne and will continue to use her in the future.”
“Jaclyn and her family were great with lulu. Lulu had a great time with them and their pup Tyson. Nice big yard for her to run around in and played great with Tyson. I have never seen my dog snuggle up to our other dog at home, like she did with Tyson! Will defineately book again with them. They were overall amazing!!! Definitely recommend to other rover users.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my lil Leila with Andrea She sent me adorable pics which made me very happy. She snuggled and loved my dog when I was gone. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. Thank you Andrea!”

I live with my son but I will be the primary caretaker when pet sitting or boarding I take care of the “kids” feed them train them potty leash and manners. My son works but is an important part of loving them. They howl when he comes in from work. They are allowed on the furniture and roam free in the house. They get non rawhide chew sticks. Fed twice a day. Go for walks. Play. Love them. Kisses galore my grand daughter who lives in tn has a five year old corgi . Ein, short for Einstein who we watch here when they are away from home. I moved here from Virginia , a mile from the tn border, last July. I am a retired nurse. Minnie came to us not potty trained so we are currently working on a door bell system to let us know when they have to potty. Usually I let them out about twice every hour. We have a large screened in back porch and fenced back yard. I help with laundry cooking etc. I. Take care of the “ kids”. My son adores them. Ralphie is a little over a year old. Take them to the dog park often. Leash training Minnie. She has a pink harness and pink retractable leash
“Ayaka took wonderful care of our Louie. She communicates often through pictures, videos, and texts. We were anxious about leaving him but each picture and video showed a happy pup. We will be using her again!”
“Mishael and her family were terrific. They were available for us last minute overnight during the holiday and they took such great care of our boy, Thor! Unfortunately he did not take us leaving him well and was extremely needy and depressed overnight but Mishael didn’t skip a beat. She was great giving us multiple updates and sending pics as well as going above and beyond to keep Thor comforted with attention until we returned! I would recommend them to anyone needing someone to look after their fur baby!!!”
“Shannon was very sweet with Bear. She sent me a picture while I was away. She also took him on short notice which was a blessing! I recommend Shannon to anyone looking to board their fur baby.”
“Shenee takes such great care of my beagle Buddy, and he seems to immediately feel at home! Shenee is so attentive about taking pictures, and keeping me informed on how he is doing!”
“Tara accommodated us with a last minute reservation. She kept us updated about Maggie’s stay by sending us pictures. Maggie loves being with Tara and we feel confident that she is given the best care!”

“Highly recommend Dara for any of your pet sitting needs! You can tell she loves animals and she treated ours like her own. We went away for a week, left our two cats in her care, and they had so much fun with her! At each visit, Dara sent us a bunch of pictures so we could see our babies, and was super fast to respond to any of our messages. We have already rescheduled her for November, and will be using her any other times we need someone to take care of our fur babies! Thank you Dara!!”
“Lauren is incredible! In a moment’s notice, she watched my sweet baby with separation anxiety while we were touring the beautiful city of Greenville. I wish she could watch her every time I needed a sitter!”
“Jonathan is fantastic. He is our “go to” sitter for our elderly cats. The last time he sat for us was a last minute request; our grandson was born two weeks early and I had just come from a vet visit where my vet suggested I watch one of my two cats to make sure she continued to get better after receiving a shot. I was a wreck; we visited our daughter over Thanksgiving, and even though it was last minute and over a holiday, as always, Jonathan immediately responded “no problem; be happy to; been missing those two.” His pictures show how comfortable my cats feel with him and when we come home they welcome us rather than “destroy things” (any cat owner will understand). He also immediately responded to my panicked texts asking how they were doing. He is wonderful!! You will be very happy if you use him. Thank you Jonathan.”
“James was excellent! He helped us last minute and jumped right in. My dogs love him. He sent pictures of them throughout the week and made sure to let us know how they were doing. Definitely plan to book again and would recommend to friends/family!!”
“Alex is so awesome! My cat is skeptical of most humans and can be quite feisty, but Alex was SO good with her from the first time they met. She was responsive to my cat's needs and didn't make her nervous or overwhelmed. She was great at administering meds and I felt so much more comfortable leaving for a week when I knew Alex was dropping in every day and checking on my cat - and my house! She's a true animal lover and even sent me photo updates of the bird nests on my front and back porches! I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to everyone!”
“Single handedly made me a repeat user here on Rover. Super flexible, communicates consistently, and great with care. Our cats normally don’t leave the bedroom with new people but loved spending time with her. 10/10”
About: Lifelong cat lover with a natural ability to connect with cats of all personalities, from independent to affectionate. Gained hands-on experience through years of caring for a stray who made our home his own, along with cat sitting for friends and family. I know when a cat wants space and when they’re ready for cuddles and scratches, and I’m happy to oblige either way.
“We left our sweet kitty Elora with Angela and her family over Christmas. We were very grateful for her to accommodate her and bring her into her families celebration. Elora seemed to get along just fine with her and her animals and came home just as content as when we dropped her off. The only thing I would mention for anyone with chemical sensitives Elora did come home smelling like a lot of artificial fragrances as did everything we dropped her off with and needed a good bath (she was not pleased about that) as we are chemical sensitive. This has nothing to do with the quality of care, and the genuine heart of Angela and her family just something to be aware of for those who have chemical sensitivities to artificial fragrances which is why I have rated 4 stars.”
“Cassy is absolutely amazing—responsible and caring. She took the best care of my baby cat and treated her like her own. I received detailed updates, photos, and messages every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would trust her again!”

I am capable and punctual, and will make sure your cat gets all the attention and loving they deserve and want. I can administer oral and topical medications. Please let me know any special care needs for your cat, their temperament, and any preferences you have regarding their care!
About: As a certified cat care specialist, I take pride in understanding and catering to each feline's unique personality. I have experience fostering shy and anxious cats and know how to build trust with even the most timid ones. My time are tailored to your cat's needs, whether that's play, gentle brushing, or simply providing a calm, comforting presence. I am very detail-oriented and will follow your routine closely to ensure your cat feels safe and relaxed while you're away.
About: I have had dogs all of my life since I was 4 years old. I didnt start to take up the responsibility to take care of them until I was about 7 or 8 years old. I have had a range of dog breeds and sizes in my care from a golden retriever to a toy Aussie. I love take care, play and just hang out with animals. I currently work as a middle school teacher so my summers are pretty free! Whether it’s a one day check in or a vacation, I will happily spend my summer with your pups! During the school year, I am limited to weekends only but would still love to spend my weekends with your pets! I will follow whatever needs you have for your dog(s) whether I have to house sit, walk, or just hang out with your animal for the day. I want to make sure you are comfortable with the care I give them.
About: My résumé includes dogs, cats, muddy boots, mystery noises in barns, and convincing animals that the thing they absolutely do not want to do is actually a great idea. I've learned that patience, consistency, and a pocket full of treats or a favorite toy solve most problems. Animals have always been a huge part of my world. On any given day, I might be caring for horses, spending time with my dogs and cats, or helping a nervous animal feel comfortable in a new situation. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a long walk and a game of fetch. Some want a quiet companion who respects their space. Some have very strong opinions about breakfast arriving precisely on time. I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.
“I couldn’t be more pleased with Joann and the care and consideration my pets received while I was on vacation. Joanne went above and beyond my expectations and I will be using her services again and again and again.”

“Andrea was wonderful with Daisy. We were coming from out of town & did a video chat prior to the stay so we could meet & see the area where Daisy would be. Daisy had a great time playing with Andrea’s dog & she was a very happy pup when we came to pick her up. We would use her again if we are back in the area.”
“Absolutely amazing job! I will definitely be using her the next time I'm in need of this service. As someone with an ESA pet, his will being is important to me and she made the day worry free.”
“Chloe has a special hand with pets that few others have. She cared deeply for my timid kitty on her first daycare visit away from home. I can tell my sweet Mirabelle was taken good care of. If you’re uncertain about who to choose on Rover, look no further than this wonderful young woman! Her home was the perfect environment for my cat, both clean and cozy.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for more than 15 years. Mostly dogs and a few cats. But willing to love and care for any pet! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve.

“Joy is so wonderful! She is so kind and loving to my pup that when I leave in the morning I feel so reassured the day will go well. Duncan loves going to Joys and playing all day and he comes home tired - so I know he had a good day too! Highly recommend!!”
“Tara has worked out so well for my work schedule in the Spartanburg area! Blue has found another favorite sitter through Rover.com. Tara has been amazing with her responsible/professional yet loving care and communication throughout the day with me, I'm not sure Blue even wants to go home at the end of the day! I am praying that in 13 weeks if I make this job my permanent one, Tara will agree to be our permanent care giver for Blue. Hi, highly recommend Tara without any reservations.”
About: Hello there! I'm Razelle, your local dog walker reporting for duty! I'm here to make sure your pup gets the best care possible. I currently do remote work and have found plenty of dedicated time to do something I really enjoy on the side. As a certified Rover pro, I provide all sorts of services. From dog walking to house sitting and drop-in visits. But what sets me apart from the rest of the sitters is my passion for your dog’s well-being. I've had countless reviews on Rover and other platforms commenting that I treat their dog as my own. If you have training regimes or a set schedule, you can count on me to get it done! I also incorporate basic obedience training during our walks [if requested]. I teach simple commands like "Heel," "Look," and "Sit" to keep your pup focused and obedient, even in the face of distractions. This can be important when facing unexpected encounters! FRIENDLINESS WITH OTHERS REQUIRED: Safety is a top priority for me, as I understand that your dog's well-being is of the utmost importance to you. For this reason, I am unable to care for dogs with a history of attacking other dogs or humans. Furthermore, if your dog exhibits any aggressive behavior during a visit, I will be unable to continue caring for them in the future. This policy ensures the safety of all dogs and humans in my care and allows me to provide the best possible service to you and your furry companion. WALKING SUPPLIES? To ensure that your dog's walk is safe and enjoyable, please make sure that your pup has a well-fitted collar or harness, and that you have poop bags and a leash at the ready. While shoes are not required, I recommend them for added safety and comfort during your dog's adventure. Thank you for helping me provide the best possible care for your pup! Disclaimer: Ensuring that your dog's collar or harness is well-fitted is crucial to their safety during walks. If I determine that the collar or harness cannot be properly adjusted to fit your dog securely, I will be unable to walk your furry friend, as this increases the risk of your dog getting loose and running away. Please be mindful of the fit of your dog's collar or harness before scheduling a walk to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for your pup. SCHEDULE? Monday-Friday: 6 AM - 11 PM Weekends: 6 AM - 11 PM *Times subject to change according to the sunrise/sunset* --------------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ: *WILL YOU SEND UPDATES OF MY DOGS?* You betcha! At the end of every walk or stay, I'll send you a detailed report on how your furry friend fared. You can expect to see all the commands we used during our walk, the exciting experiences your pup had, and of course, plenty of adorable photos from our time together. Who knows, you might even find yourself printing out the report and hanging it up on your fridge for all to see! *I HAVE NEVER LEFT MY DOG BEFORE, WILL HE OR SHE BE OKAY?* It is natural for some dogs to experience separation anxiety when being cared for by someone new. As a professional dog walker, I do my utmost to ensure that each dog feels comfortable and at ease with plenty of interaction and attention. It is not uncommon for new surroundings to disrupt a dog's digestive system, resulting in loose stools. However, there is no cause for alarm as this is a normal reaction to a change in routine. Typically, after 1-2 visits, the dog's digestive system will adjust, and any issues will resolve. It is important to note that the level of reaction varies depending on the dog's unique personality and temperament. *WHAT IF MY DOG IS SPECIAL NEEDS?* I am able to care for nearly ALL special needs dogs! 1) Allergies: Please let me know of any beforehand! 2) Medicine: info must be written on a note alongside food, with dosage, etc. (non-medical injections such as insulin is okay. In the state of Virginia, medical/complex injections require specific qualifications/certifications, which I do not have.) 3) Diapers are okay 4) Blind or Deaf? I’ve cared for several blind/deaf dogs and they’re always great! 5) Paralyzed: I have experience with a pitbull who was paralyzed from the waste down due to an incident. I kept up with physical therapy, indoor accidents, cleaning/caring, hand feeding. 5) Something Else? Let me know *HOW WILL MY DOGS BE CARED FOR?* When caring for your pup during visits and stays, their personality is my top priority. I will adjust my activity level according to their specific needs to ensure their safety and comfort. In the case of inclement weather or unfortunate situations that may cause your pup to get dirty, rest assured that I will have a towel or wipes readily available to clean them up. You can trust that I will provide the utmost care for your furry friend. Disclaimer: Please note that dogs can learn from their canine companions during visits. However, I cannot be held responsible for any habits that your dog may pick up from other dogs. Additionally, I cannot be held liable if your dog decides to consume unusual debris or objects during our visit. It is essential to keep a close eye on your dog and guarantee their safety at all times. *GROOMING?* Although I don't do grooming myself, I don't mind picking up and dropping your dog off at your preferred groomer/grooming salon for $10 each way. Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any injuries/damages/harm the grooming salon may cause to your dog. Please make sure that this is a groomer/salon that you TRUST. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT MY DOG Meet Suki, my adorable 3 year old Blue Merle Border Collie! She's sweet as honey and loves everyone, including cats, dogs, and humans of all ages. I can't guarantee she won't lick you to death, but hey, that's just her way of saying hello! I'm pretty strict when it comes to Suki's diet and exercise routine. She gets fed twice a day with a slow feeder to avoid any mishaps, and I make sure to keep her brain active with mentally stimulating games when we're not out and about. Speaking of which, we hit the dog park 3-5 times a week and go on hikes and runs at the lake. Suki's a ball of energy and loves playing fetch, so be prepared to throw that ball a few times! Now, let me be honest with you. It's highly unlikely, but on occasion, Suki might come along for a walk or a drop-in visit and hang out in my car. Don't worry, she's super chill and won't leave any fur behind. But if you're not cool with it, just let me know, and I'll make sure she stays home, catching up on her favorite TV shows or something. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please don't hesitate to send me a message if you want to chat about your pet concerns and their needs.

About: I’ve been passionate about dogs and pet care for over 15 years. As the founder of my own pet wellness brand, Shopypaws, I learned not only how to care for pets with love, but also how important their emotional well-being, routines, nutrition, and behavior are. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including active dogs like my own Border Collie mix, Reaver. I truly enjoy spending time with pets, making them feel safe, loved, exercised, and comfortable while their owners are away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets because I treat every dog like family. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals and training positive behaviors. 🐾 Your pet will receive loving care, attention, patience, and lots of affection with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I have a flexible schedule and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and lots of attention throughout the day. I understand how important routines are for dogs, so I do my best to keep them comfortable, active, and stress free while their owners are away. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or calm and shy, I adapt to their personality and needs to make them feel safe and loved. 🐾 Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets is extremely important to me. I treat every dog like family and pay close attention to their behavior, routines, feeding schedules, and comfort levels. I have experience caring for dogs of different personalities and energy levels, including active breeds like my own dog, Reaver. My background as the founder of Shopypaws also taught me a lot about pet wellness, behavior, and positive care practices. I keep pet parents updated with photos and communication so they can feel at peace while away. My goal is always for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy in my care. 🐶✨

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. It all started at age 5 with Rosie, my sweet Shih Tzu-Poodle mix, and grew when our family adopted Judge, a Husky-Golden Retriever mix, when I was 12. Both dogs were my world, and losing them recently has only deepened my appreciation for the love and joy pets bring to our lives. My experience goes beyond everyday care. For the last two years of Judge’s life, he lived with me full-time. As a large dog, he needed extra support, I lifted him, pushed him in a stroller during his final months, and when he was diagnosed with cancer, I managed his medication and care with dedication and precision to keep him as comfortable as possible. I also regularly care for my aunt’s small dogs, including one with paralyzed front legs, handling their special needs with patience and love. As an active person who walks and runs daily, I’m happy to take dogs out for long, energizing walks or keep things gentle for older or mobility-limited pets. Whether your dog needs a slow stroll or a miles-long adventure, I’ve got them covered. You can count on me to treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attentiveness I gave my own. I have a flexible schedule and no current work commitments, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting on short notice. I’m in a transitional period before starting medical school in the fall, which means pet care is my top priority right now. Your furry family member will always have my full attention and time. My Home: My spacious two-bedroom apartment has plenty of room for your pet to roam and relax. We’re located right next to the West Side Highway and a large outdoor park, making bathroom breaks and long walks incredibly convenient. Your pet will have space, fresh air, and adventure right at their paws. Your Home: I will be respectful, tidy, and attentive at all times. I stick to your pet’s existing routine to keep them calm and comfortable in their own environment, treating your home with the same care I would my own. My goal is that you return to a happy pet and a home exactly as you left it.
About: I’ve had dogs for my whole life, and I absolutely adore animals. I have cared for my own pets, my friends’ dogs and cats, and I will take care of yours as if they were my own. I am reliable and punctual, and I will give your pet all the attention and loving they deserve- walks, playing, petting, feeding. I am capable of caring for elderly pets as well, as I have. 13-year old dog myself. I can administer oral and topical medications. I’m currently not working, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of yours pets. I am available any time between 6:30am to 9:30pm for drop-in visits, and I am able to do overnight stays. I will follow your rules regarding your pet, making sure they are cared for in the way you prefer. I will communicate and leave a note for each visit, and make sure you know how your baby is doing!
About: I am a dog lover. I have a dog of my own! I love taking care of dogs and I am very familiar with how to take care of them! Hi! I play soccer in Spartanburg, SC. I am looking to pet sit and dog walk in between my practices and school work. I respond quickly and am flexible! I am very respectful of the areas I’m in. I always leave places cleaner than I left them. I just want to make sure the animals feel loved and safe!
About: I have a strong passion for pet care because animals rely on us for their health,safety, and happiness. Whether it’s feeding them properly, making sure they get exercise, or noticing when something seems wrong, pet care requires attention and compassion. Helping animals feel comfortable and cared for is something I find meaningful and fulfilling. I am currently working part time so I have a lot of time on my hands to care for your pets. I don’t ever work past 4 so always available after that:) I have a lot of trusted owners that I have now and hoping to expand and meet more people and pets. I am very trustworthy and honest. I will help your pets feel comfortable even when you aren’t there!
“I was a bit nervous when we had setup Odins first walk at the house because Odin is protective but as soon as Ari walked in Odin loved her! Ari is the best will def be using her again and again! Tysm!”
About: I treat every dog like they're part of my own family. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, so I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I'm patient with shy or nervous dogs and happy to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. I also provide regular photo and video updates, so you'll always know how your pup is doing while you're away. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and loved until you're back home. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Because I'm home most of the time, your dog won't be left alone for long periods and will receive regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I enjoy keeping a consistent routine and will do my best to follow your dog's normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at home during their stay. In my home, pets are treated like family. We have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run and play, and we have three friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having companions. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable. I'll follow your pet's usual feeding schedule, provide plenty of potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of love and attention. If your dog prefers a quieter environment or needs special care, I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs and routine.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and grew up with dogs throughout my childhood. At 16, I began working at a veterinary boarding facility, where I spent three years caring for pets. I started in boarding before transitioning to a veterinary technician role, gaining experience with daily pet care, administering medications as directed, recognizing signs of illness, and making sure pets were safe, comfortable, and well cared for. While I can’t currently have a pet of my own because I rent, my love for animals has never changed. I enjoy caring for pets and will treat yours with the same patience, attention, and compassion I would give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’ll always communicate with you, send updates and photos, and treat your pet like they’re my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel as comfortable as possible. Thanks to my previous experience in both pet boarding and a veterinary setting, I know the importance of patience, careful observation, and following instructions. I’ll keep your home clean, respect your space, and provide regular updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I currently have my own dog and know the responsibility it takes to care for a pet. I have put in countless hours/money to make sure that my own dog is well cared for. Let me add that same amount of effort to your dog!❤️ I am great with all kinds of breeds and will walk/go the extra mile for your pet, literally and figuratively! I am a flight attendant and on my off days have plenty of free time on my hands, would love to spend it caring for your dog! I have my own dog and he is great with other dogs. If up for it would love to have a play date with your fur baby!❤️
About: My résumé includes dogs, cats, muddy boots, mystery noises in barns, and convincing animals that the thing they absolutely do not want to do is actually a great idea. I've learned that patience, consistency, and a pocket full of treats or a favorite toy solve most problems. Animals have always been a huge part of my world. On any given day, I might be caring for horses, spending time with my dogs and cats, or helping a nervous animal feel comfortable in a new situation. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a long walk and a game of fetch. Some want a quiet companion who respects their space. Some have very strong opinions about breakfast arriving precisely on time. I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.
About: I have had pets (dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, etc.) all my life. I have taken care of many of my friends pets while they have been away.

I will visit your fur baby multiple times a day and let them out or take them for walks. I will give them all the love they deserve.
About: My mission starting my own pet sitting business is to treat every animal as the individual they are, while ensuring their happiness and safety at all times. I can not promise that I will be available for any late notice/next day requests. However, I will always try my best to assist you and your furry friends! I do have a job with flexible hours, so I can fit in drop-in visits pretty well. I am always willing to spend as much time playing and giving love to your pet as needed. I always ensure to get clear instructions from owners before watching their pet. I do my best to fit every pet’s individual needs the best I can.
About: I was a dog groomer for over a year and worked in a dog store for 3 years and am able to read body language well and am very informed most things that come to your dogs needs. I spend as much time with my dog as I can everyday. I brush her, play ball, and pet her every single day and always give her lots of cookies. I take my dog to dog parks to play with her and have give her lots of treats! I brush my dog everyday and always have a cuddle time.
About: I really enjoy animals so much. I just do not meet a stranger when it comes to dogs and cats. Your home would be my home away from home. Im 49 years old with a 5 year old son. I enjoy teaching him about how wonderful each animal can be. I personally believe if you teach a child to love animals they will grow up to be wonderful people. I do not have a big home but it is ful of love. We treat all animals like they are part of our family. I can not wait to meet you and your family (pets).. This job is a test to see if i can make an income big enough to stay home with my son. . God Bless each and everyone of you.

“Having just traveled across the country, we found ourselves staying with relatives for a time while we waited for our new apartment to be open for us. Our standard poodle, Ranger, was not understanding why we never seemed to be going home, and that was what he wanted most to do. We were very thankful that our relatives had been able to accommodate us, however, having Ranger in their home was not working well for them. So, we looked for a rover.com care person in the area to help us out for the days until we could move into our apartment. That’s where Dee came in. She was gracious and accommodating. She opened her home to Ranger for ten days, and made him welcome. In other boarding situations in the past, he was cared for, but he ALWAYS lost a considerable amount of weight. Not with Dee!! Dee gave Ranger all of the TLC he needed even during this time that was so uncertain for him. She got her hands right into his food and mixed his Fresh Pet food with his kibble so that every piece of kibble was coated with the tastier food. And it worked! Because even though he may have been missing us, he ate! And he didn’t lose any weight! We could tell she had gone the extra mile with him, and we are very grateful for the care she gave him. Five stars doesn’t even say enough for how happy we are with the care she gave our Ranger.”
“Angela and family were great! Lexi seemed like she was home away from home. I appreciate the updates via photos and messages.

“Anne was amazing with our dog Tyr, My boyfriend was very hesitant since this was his first time being away from him in 2 years, since Tyr was 6 weeks old. I was more worried about Tyr being somehwere new since he is a nonstop 60Lb ball of energy. But Anne was great and let them be their own selves while sending us updates and pictures. She was even gracious enough to take on my dog last minute when my sitter cancelled on me. I highly recommend Anne and will continue to use her in the future.”
