“Ariel was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog, Patches! From the very first time we met her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that Patches would be in great hands. She took the time to ask questions about his needs and routine, and she was happy to answer all of ours as well. When we dropped Patches off, he was immediately comfortable and seemed right at home. Throughout his stay, Ariel kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how much fun he was having. It was clear that Ariel genuinely cared for Patches and treated him like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a five-star dog sitter on Rover, Ariel is the one! We highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with Patches again.”

We would highly recommend Krista to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter, and we would definitely rebook with her again!”

About: I have always taken care of animals for people and I have used rover myself for my dogs. I love cats and dogs, and want to provide good quality care. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and you can expect lots of pictures. I currently do deliveries but your animals will be my priority. I have a flexible schedule and willing to take care of whatever you need. I have a huge yard to walk dogs, and they’ll get plenty of attention and play time. I also have two friendly dogs who love playing with other dogs. If I am in your home I’ll respect whatever rules and schedule you like to keep for your pets.
About: While I haven’t owned a cat myself, I’ve always enjoyed being around them and have several years of hands-on experience caring for cats through pet sitting. Since 2020, I’ve helped care for cats during overnight stays and visits, including feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, providing playtime and companionship, and following each cat’s individual routine. I’ve also spent time around cats in multi-pet households, which has helped me become comfortable with different personalities—from social and playful to more independent or shy cats. I understand that cats thrive on consistency and respecting their boundaries, and I work to create a calm, stress-free environment while their owners are away.
“This was my first time using Rover.com and I could not have been more pleased with the service or our sitter, Theresa. Charlie is currently undergoing medical treatment for a condition which required someone with experience. Theresa's knowledge was spot-on and I left our dog confident he was in excellent hands. It's obvious Theresa was a huge hit with Charlie because upon our return, he was slightly disappointed it was not his new friend walking through the door!”
“Sophie is wonderful! She is very organized, patient, and a great communicator. She took care of my 3 cats, all with different temperaments. She made sure they had food, water, treats, a clean litter box, and played with them. 10/10 would hire again and would reccomend.”
“Taylor was amazing! She was so attentive and went above and beyond. She treated our kiddos like they were her own. I was so worried to leave them behind but I felt 100% comfortable the entire time away from them because she did such a fine job.”
“Autumn is a lovely person and trustworthy pet sitter for our two cats. She clearly loves animals and does a great job of following our instructions. We are grateful for her help and will definitely ask her back again!”
About: I have taken care of cats all my life! Specifically, for the last 10 years, I have been a foster for kittens who were born as strays, until they were old enough to be fixed, then taken to other states (with better laws and regulations to protect animals) to find their forever homes through rescues!
About: I have taken care of animals in many forms for over 20 years. I have an acre of fenced-in yard with two dogs that are dog friendly, up to date on shots, and either spayed or neutered. ~ Your fur baby will enjoy their time playing with my dogs, or with me staying at your home and treating your home and your fur baby as one of my own. ~PSI Member and working on basic First Aid and Emergency Care for Animals. ~Willing to provide medications and injections to those babies in need. ~ I work from home so your pet will get any amount of attention it needs. If I come to your home your pet will receive the same care and respect as work allows for flexibility to be there with them, giving them full attention. I have an acre fenced yard with outside toys as well as a drinking fountain and plenty of room inside for them to take naps and stay cool and dry on rainy days. We usually go out every 2-4 hours for potty breaks and play time.
About: Let me help you get it back! I have 3 sweet girls right now, and wouldn’t know life without them. I trim their nails, clean their ear canals, and give them sanitary trims/wipes. I have been raised around cats, and have helped a mother deliver her 11 kittens… that just so happened to be on my birthday, best gift ever… so I am quite familiar with medical care, and overall boundaries when it comes to making your babies feel comfortable. My girls have never known a “spook” before so I can assure you it will be my goal to keep your angels as comfortable as possible while you are away!

“Buck and Willie had such a great time during their first visit with Alyssa! I am so impressed by Alyssa's gentle, kind and caring demeanor. I felt so confident leaving the boys with her. They will be going back again very soon!”
About: I have had animals in my home since I was born. I have had small to large dogs, and believe that each requires love, nurture and one to one time to live the best life. I am adamant about taking my dogs out for exercise regardless of the weather, and thoroughly enjoy cuddle time! Any special needs your pet has, I can accommodate, whether medical or for comfort. I am flexible in my care routine, and open to feedback. I work from home and have a very flexible job that allows me to play with and care for my animals at ease. I have a free schedule in the evenings and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and love to play with my animals outside. I have several dog beds and they find comfort on the couch!
“Charity is super friendly, and she has a wonderful setup that the dogs seem to love. My boy comes home happily tired each evening, having played hard with the other dogs on site. 10/10, I very highly recommend.”
“Charlie loved his time with Parker. He looked so content the entire car ride back. Parker was very communicative leading up to Charlie’s stay and during. I think Charlie enjoyed sniffing around the fenced in yard and exploring with other pups.”
“Carri is just amazing! She was very understanding of my anxious dog with separation anxiety and made dropping him off a breeze. Would def recommend and will rebook again in the future. She even sent my Hershey home with a mini dog care bag. She goes above and beyond and you can really tell that she cares for the dogs.”
About: I’ve been caretaking for all types of animals for over 15 years. From training puppies to pampering seniors & everything between, I’ve been the go-to for neighbors, friends & family when it comes to their pet care needs. As a farmer, I have a flexible schedule to provide for your needs & have been a farm-sitter for many satisfied folks!

I am also available for doggie daycare in my home where I can provide utmost safety & playtime. My care regimen is flexible & can be catered to individuals’ needs. I have a large yard & many spare 15-20ft leashes to keep your pet safe while providing quality playtime. I also have a dog to help keep your fur baby company while in my care!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11yo. I’ve cared for Australian Shepherds, Poodles, Rat Terriers, Cairn Terriers, Papillions, Irish Wolfhounds and more. I have four dogs now: German Shepherd Mix, German Shorthaired Pointer, and two Pembroke Corgis. I’m familiar with small and large dogs. I’m non-judgmental and understanding if your baby has separation-anxiety. I’m currently looking for work so am completely open to do drop-ins during the day, walks, and more.

About: I have been grooming for 14 years and offer boarding. I offer one on one services for all pets. Contact for appointments to book for grooming or boarding. Groomong and boarding is what I do full time and I'm home almost all the time so your babies will always be looked after and have me around them watching over them.

About: 🐐 The Pet & Farm Nanny: Constant Care & Custom Visits 🐾 Hi y’all! I’m Ariel. I offer a unique "Nanny" experience for your pets, whether they are staying with me or in the comfort of their own home. I recently moved to Lebanon and love providing the reliable, heart-centered care that every animal deserves—from senior dogs needing meds to hobby farms needing a helping hand. How I can help: • At My Home (The "Workday" Companion): Since I work from home (10 AM – 7 PM), your pet will never be alone! I offer a cozy, attentive environment in my apartment for smaller dogs or cats who love constant human company. • At Your Home (Mornings & Weekends): I am available for early morning walks, drop-in feedings, and farm chores (milking goats, feeding horses, collecting eggs). I also offer Overnight House Sitting on weekends to keep your pets in their familiar routine! • Specialized Care: I am fully comfortable with senior pet care and administering oral medications. My Commitment to You: I stay within a 15-20 mile radius of Lebanon to ensure I’m always close by. You can expect high-quality communication, plenty of photo updates, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing a "Nanny" is looking after your family. Note: Due to my apartment setting, I am unable to offer puppy training/boarding, but I’m a pro at cuddles and routine! As a project coordinator working from home (10 AM – 7 PM), I’m the ultimate full-time companion! Your pet will have my company all day long while I’m at my desk. For house calls, walks, and farm chores, I’m an early bird and a weekend warrior! I’m available for drop-ins and farm visits before 9:30 AM or after 7:30 PM on weekdays, with completely open availability on Saturdays and Sundays for longer visits or weekend house-sitting. Safety is my top priority! When pets stay with me in my apartment, they enjoy a calm, pet-proofed environment with plenty of cozy spots to nap near my workspace. I’m a pro at maintaining strict routines, whether that’s a specific feeding schedule or administering essential medications for senior pets. I am an avid walker, so if your pup is with me, we will get plenty of exercise. When I’m at your home or farm, I’m hyper-vigilant about double-checking gate latches, ensuring fresh water troughs are full, and keeping a 'Nanny’s eye' on everything to make sure your home is as secure as your pets are happy!
About: I’ve spent all of my life with a passion for animals and grew up taking care of pigs for 4-H and FFA as well as riding and caring for about 16+ horses since I was 10 years old. I took veterinary college accredited classes in high school and have owned and cared for 3 dogs over the years. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats but I can take care of them in your home if needed. I’m currently a stay at home mom with a baby on the way in September. I’m am always at home unless I’m out grocery shopping or out at dinner with my fiancé. So I have plenty of time to care and love on your fur baby and make them feel right at home! I have no pets in the home currently and I would only be able to take your dog on walks and around the property to use the restroom as we have no fenced in yard currently. They will be inside most of their stay. When pet sitting at your place I can most of anything that is needed. I do not have a crate available at my house currently so if you would like your baby in a crate or kennel, you would need to supply that as well.

About: I've taken care of animals starting from a young age. I love animals and enjoy having them around and caring for them. Animals are a significant part of my everyday life. I spend my time home caring for my dog and children. It's a very important part of each day. Between feeding them each meal to walking them and playing with them, they're heavily integrated into our lives. I have a friendly dog who loves to play. I also have two children who love animals but are also good with boundaries considering these pets will be in an unfamiliar environment. I personally care for each pet that comes into my home, but my children will be present.
About: I’ve had many pets trough out my life. Dogs with a variety of sizes, cats, turtles, squirrels, bunnies, and Guinea pigs. I’ve had to take care of newborn pups and have my aunt who is a vet. I currently work remotely therefore, I have a lot of free time that I can use to spend with all sorts of cute pets 🤎🤍 I currently live in a animal friendly apartment with a balcony and a dog park. My indoor cat loves to look out the balcony facing a tree line.
“Julianna was very responsive, flexible and timely, it was a pleasure to interact with her and Tim. My dog is quite timid yet he was always happy to get in the house and backyard of Julianna. The dogs they host are all friendly and well behaved, Poppy will be back!”
“Loved all the photos. Cyndie was super responsive. My pup had a great time. It was my first time using Rover and was a little nervous but Cyndie and her family were terrific. I would definitely rebook with her.”

About: I have been surrounded by pets - dogs, cats, horses, cows, birds, reptiles, and everything in between - my entire life! I joined 4H when I was 6 years old as a “clover bud” and have spent the past 10 years learning to care for and train horses, dogs, and goats. Outside of my own furry family, I have assisted my mother with her horse training and pet sitting business, and also started caring for my own homes & farms as soon as I could drive! I work part-time, I am available all day Mondays through Wednesdays, and until 3pm Thursdays to Sundays. My schedule is pretty flexible, and can be available after work if needed. For the safety of your pets and our own dogs and other small pets, we do not currently offer any at home services. Hoping to in the future!
About: I come from a farming background, and have cared for dogs and cats in a variety of environments. I worked as a livestock manager for farming operations a total of 5+ years, besides having owned and raised many of my own pets since I was a kid. I have often volunteered to pet sit for friends and relatives, including both dogs and cats. I can handle all basic daily needs, feeding, walking, monitoring, and even administer medications if required. I am on a seasonal break for the holidays, and looking to supplement my income. I can visit daily within a reasonable distance, or stay overnights when required. Aside from some dates I will block out around Christmas, I have open availability! I will come to you for pet care. Cats will be fed according to their schedule, litter cleaned daily. Dogs will be walked at or near feeding times, and let out for potty breaks as needed throughout the day. Lots of love given at all times! If there are other medical needs I will need details of their care when setting up an appointment.

I have my own schedule with being a dog trainer. I dedicate most of my time to dogs/animals. This is my full time job and can always be available.

About: With growing up around animals my whole life, pet sitting is nothing new to me. I have been provided the opportunity to pet sit for families, friends, and neighbors my whole life. I provide my own transportation, that allows me the opportunity to feed, walk, and play with your dogs. 😊 I’m a full time pet sitter, so I devote my time working and playing with your fur babies. I am available to do stop bys, pick up and drop offs, and I can do in home sitting and overnight, since pet sitting is my full time job. I have a fenced in yard, that provides your fur babies the option to run around and play. We have around 2 acres of land, so plenty of room for them to play and potty. If I am at your house, I will keep your pets safe by having them on a leash, and watching them outside. I can crate your pets at nighttime, so it eliminates them getting out and escaping.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and have provided pet sitting services for family and friends since 2020. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, recognizing behavioral cues, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for every dog. I currently care for my own dog, Tessa, and have experience with dogs of varying ages, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My hands-on experience includes caring for large and independent breeds such as German Shepherd/Akita mixes and Shiba Inus. Through regular pet sitting, I’ve become comfortable managing multi-dog households, administering feeding schedules, reinforcing established training routines, and providing enrichment through play, walks, and positive interactions. I’ve also lived with multiple dogs throughout college, giving me extensive experience adapting to different personalities, obedience levels, and exercise needs. I have experience supporting basic training, including house training, crate training, leash manners, and positive reinforcement techniques. Whether your dog is highly active, prefers a slower pace, or needs consistency with an existing routine, I strive to provide dependable care that helps pets feel secure while you’re away. Pet care is a regular part of my daily life. As a lifelong dog owner and experienced pet sitter, I’m used to planning my routine around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m currently a student in a Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) program, which has strengthened my time management skills and attention to detail. I have clinical rotations on Mondays and Tuesdays and classes on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8–10 a.m., so I’m generally available most afternoons, evenings, Fridays, and many weekends with advance notice. I only accept bookings that fit comfortably within my schedule to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. In my clients’ homes, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, crate routines, and any training cues or household rules. Safety is always my top priority. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and collars before going outside and make sure pets are supervised during playtime and interactions with other animals. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take time to build trust at their pace—whether they need extra playtime, a calm environment, or a little extra patience. As an MLT student, I’m detail-oriented, dependable, and committed to providing regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I am an absolute dog lover! I recently lost my pit bull Ruby from old age a couple of months ago so I’ve started going over to my sister’s apartment to let her black lab Charlie out to walk everyday! And, it’s helping me not miss my baby as much! I am so loving towards dogs and treat them with the utmost care:) I have had rocky who was a chow mixed with golden retriever and he passed away at 20 from old age. He was my best friend I got when I was 2. Then when my grandpa passed away I got Ruby who was a pit bull and she was my best friend who passed away from old age and a tumor at 18. I loved on them everyday, walked them daily, played with them daily, and the occasional pup cups were necessary. Every dog that comes in my path absolutely loves me and I love them too. They really are angels for us to have on this earth. I am trying I find a way to pay off student debt flexibly with my schedule of music ministering at prisons, high schools, addiction facilities, and leading worship at youth services. I am very intuitive of pets when they are around me so Im able to make sure they are happy and safe. I love giving them love on top of love. I also am very careful with older dogs or dogs with disability and treat them with the upmost patience and gentleness they deserve.
About: With 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I provide compassionate, reliable, and personalized care for your furry family members. I may have more energy than them! I do this for fun, not for money. I lost my boy least year and I'm not quite ready for my own again, so taking care of others helps fill the void. <3 My days off are Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday. Sometimes one additional day during the week. I'm free all day and night on those days off, but depending on the time, may be able to watch on other days as well. Weekdays I'm still pretty free, just keep in mind my work schedule. I'll do what's needed and more! Walks? Playtime? Feeding? Bathroom? I do this mostly for fun! I'm not quite ready to own my own again but maybe caring for other dogs will help me heal!
About: My name is Hannah, but I go by Mikki. I have had pets since I was 15 years old and they have ranged from cats, dogs, and the exotic! I have a serious love for all the different types of fur-babies and am a proud pet parent myself! I’m the purrfect fit if you love someone enthusiastic about animals and their care, someone who is strict with rules and restrictions, and someone who is flexible! I have worked in a pet boarding type facility in the past and carry much experience wrangling dogs of all sizes and in all group sizes, with all different types of personalities. I also have a dog and cat myself. My daily schedule involves me waking up and letting my dog out while preparing their breakfast. After they eat, we get some snuggles in until it’s time to go potty. Later on, it time for dinner and then a nightly walk 30 minutes to an hour after dinner has been served. That ends our adventure for the day! For Drop-Ins: I stop by for feedings and enrichment for between 30 minutes to an hour. I make sure they care squared away and everything is locked up before I leave. For Walks: It’s simple … we just go for walks. 30 minutes to an hour or whatever set path and time per appointment. For House-Sitting: I set a time for me to come over. I stay for the duration of the appointment set and bring my own necessities so that I don’t have to leave the premises. I stay within your home, where your babies are most comfortable, and provide them with company and a set schedule. Before I confirm a booking, I will ALWAYS set up a meet-and-greet. I need to be able to sit down with the fur-babies and parents so we can get a good view of the vibes and to see if I would be a good fit. These meet-and-greets are NOT OPTIONAL and refusal will result in a CANCELED BOOKING! Sitting should be a comfortable experience for pet, pet parent, and sitter. Checking the vibes and getting details is critical for success.
About: Growing up we always kept animals in the house, I’ve had at least one pet since I was 6 years old, cats, dogs, fish, frogs, I love them all!! My #1 concern is your pets safety, and their happiness! I’m a very early riser, usually up at about 5-6am every morning, so I can be available for super early walks/potty breaks. I have a very flexible work from home schedule and can leave at any point so I can work around your schedule! I have a hands free leash that I always bring with me. I can use that primarily, or both leashes. Safety is priority! No one expects accidents to happen but I like to be as prepared as possible.
About: I’ve farm and dog sitted for numerous people. I live in a farm. I have experience in livestock, poultry, equine, and dogs/cats. 10 years experience I have boer goats at my house. So I feed and water them twice a day! My pug niko I feed her during the day as well I have a fenced in area at my house. I have a dog kennel fully enclosed. The house is smoke free and hypoallergenic! Very safe environment!
About: I know how to be assertive when the animal is not listening. I am very gentle and know how to listen to instructions very well. I am very smart and knowledgeable. I currently have free time to do whatever. I love helping people so I figured it would be a good option to do this. I am almost always available. I will listen to all instructions very well. I am very clean and tidy, I dont like leaving things unkempt. I also like cleaning as a side hobby. Due to my ADHD I am able to work very well. If something goes wrong, I can handle it.
About: I’ve always had a pet my whole life. From going on walks, to doing their nail trims. I’m very familiar with how to keep dogs happy! I would love to get to play with a pet after a work shift! Willing to make time on my days off as well . I can keep pets in crate if needed, take them out when needed and make sure they have a great time while they’re with me!
About: Hello! I have grown up with animals all my life. I am very much a dog person and love them like my own family. My favorite part is playing with them so that they sleep super soundly at night. I know how to teach your dog some tricks and show them a lot of love. I am extremely patient and have taught several dogs to be housebroken and how to sit, shake, and lay down. I have been dog sitting for others for a little over 6 years now. I am very confident in my abilities with dogs and how to handle them. I have been around them my whole life and know how important they are to everyone’s lives if cared for properly. I do currently work full time and am currently studying to take my Boards to become a licensed physical therapist. I am able to do mid day potty breaks if close enough to my work. Otherwise, I will make sure that your pet is well taken care of in the morning and evenings. I care for each dog/pet as if they were my own. I will love them, care for them, and tend to their needs as if they are my own family. I want to make every dog feel extremely loved through all the petting and playing that they can imagine and want.

“Alyssa & family we’re amazing!! They cared for our doggo like he was their own. They sent daily pics, videos & updates while we were away on vacation! We will definitely call on again!”
“Tyler was a lifesaver! He was able to watch our dog last minute and was fantastic with communication, always getting back to us quickly. He sent updates with pictures and videos throughout the night. Our dog was so happy with him, she didn't even want to leave when we picked her up! We'd definitely recommend Tyler to anyone and will absolutely use him again.”
“Cyndie was the PERFECT match for my Farrah Grace. She sent pictures and updates at the most prefect times. We will ALWAYS be using Cyndie for future pet sitting.”
“Melanie and James were fantastic with Jax! Jax made himself at home soon after my boyfriend and I left. Melanie and James are very personable people. We will definitely book with them again if/when the need arises.”
“Ariel was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog, Patches! From the very first time we met her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that Patches would be in great hands. She took the time to ask questions about his needs and routine, and she was happy to answer all of ours as well. When we dropped Patches off, he was immediately comfortable and seemed right at home. Throughout his stay, Ariel kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how much fun he was having. It was clear that Ariel genuinely cared for Patches and treated him like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a five-star dog sitter on Rover, Ariel is the one! We highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with Patches again.”
“Our family is sooo blessed to have met Mr. Willie and his team. They provided excellent service they proved amazing in all knowledge of dogs. I am a new dog owner and they reassured me of so much thank you for your care and valuable service. We will be using your services again.”
“Krista was absolutely amazing with our dog, Neegan! This was his first time staying somewhere new, and she made the whole experience so comfortable and stress-free for both of us. She kept us updated with regular messages and sent pictures/ videos, which we really appreciated! It gave us so much peace of mind. Neegan was clearly well cared for and happy the entire time. We would highly recommend Krista to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter, and we would definitely rebook with her again!”
“Chris and his lovely fiancée are the best! I called on fairly short notice to have our Londo looked after for Thanksgiving weekend. Let me tell you, my dog came home happy, smelling great, and well-cared for! Chris kept up with us the whole time, sent us update messages/pictures, and is excellent with communication! This was our second time using their services and I couldn’t be happier!! Londo approves and so do us!!”
“Maribel and her family were amazing! They took care of our dog for a week and he had a blast. She sent us pics daily and gave us updates. Our dog seemed so happy and content with them. She took such good care of him, it made me at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her. And her sweet boys kept him busy!”
“It has been such a pleasure and a relief to have left our girl with Kaitlyn and her family. The first time we left her with someone, it was such a sketchy experience that we weren’t sure we’d ever use Rover again. She was covered in fleas and she seemed to develop a bad habit or two. But now our faith has been restored! We got updates with pictures every day, she was clean and had playmates to keep her happy and busy too. I really hope we’re able to come back here if ever we need to ☺️.”
“Very sweet! Perfect fit for my dog and he instantly felt comfortable. Sent back with treats and let him chew on all the toys. She also booked with limited notice and no fuss.”
“Providing another review because last-minute I needed Kenny to watch my dog a little longer (twice actually). He was happy to and I was happy to have him for my dog to rely on. Again, would recommend Kenny to anyone!”
About: I have been grooming for 14 years and offer boarding. I offer one on one services for all pets. Contact for appointments to book for grooming or boarding. Groomong and boarding is what I do full time and I'm home almost all the time so your babies will always be looked after and have me around them watching over them. I have fenced in yard and have separate kennels for each Pet so everyone will be separated unless owners are ok with them interacting with my own personal dogs who are very friendly.
“Haley was wonderful and very accommodating. Katsu came back happy. She checked in and gave us updates. We definitely recommend her and would love for her to babysit our clingy Katsu again. Thank you!!!”
“Couldn’t have ask for anybody better to take care of our pup I love the way she sends the pictures. Let me know how Piper was doing. The whole time took very good care of her. Recommend her for sure for anyone looking for a sitter piper absolutely love the whole family 😁”
