“Hook stayed with Esequias and Lisa for his second stay. They treated him as one of their own and he seems to have adjusted well to his home away from home. They kept us updated with pics so we could see how he was doing. We just appreciate them so much and will be leaving our fur baby with them in the future.”
“Courtney and her family were SO good with our girl! They welcomed her right into the family and took excellent care of her! I have no doubt we will use Courtney again to care for Ellie Mae.”
“Michele was very attentive and sent us lots of pictures to keep up with what the dogs were doing. They seemed to have a great time in the big back yard. We will be using Michele again and we’re so happy to have a great option close to our house.”
“Richard did a great job with Koda He sent tons of pictures and followed instructions well. He lives nearby a large pond and lots of fenced in grass so it’s perfect for allowing pets to have exercise and frequent bathroom breaks. Richard and his family are also very friendly and easygoing, would recommend!”
“What can I say, Barbara is a gem. I was very hesitant in leaving my Yorkie as he usually travels with us. So Barbara had us over for a great meet and great, I made a reservation for a 24 hour over night to see how they would do before leaving him for 10 days in October. She was great, knew I was nervous so she sent me several pictures to let me know how he was doing. As long as Barbara is Dog Sitting I will be using her.”
“Mary and her family were absolutely awesome!! She made it very comfortable and easy for us to leave our puppy for the first time during a weekend getaway. She communicated well both upfront and during the stay including many pictures and updates. I think our dog was actually a bit disappointed to leave. We would definitely recommend Mary and will not hesitate to reach back out to her if the need should arise.”
“I had business to handle out of state and Mrs.Beverly was gracious, kind, and reasonable. She sent updates and pictures of their day, behavior, and etc. They loved her and the environment. I definitely recommend and will use her services again. Thank you Mrs. Beverly!!”
About: I've had animals since I was a child. We've raised and owned everything from horses to ferrets. We live in 6 fenced acres with lots of room to run, jump and play! I'm super vigilant about the safety and the health of every animal so be assured your baby will be looked after! I currently work from home, so going outside, going for walks, and having playtime is not an issue here. I have time to share love and attention! Fenced yard, air conditioned home, no kiddos, no smoking in the home, with one 8 lb Pomchi that loves to play and make new friends!
“Maria was amazing! She kept me updated throughout the day, and her communication gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was doing well. He is on a strict diet and takes medication, and she handled both without any issues. It was clear she genuinely cared for him, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. I will definitely be using Maria again and highly recommend her! Maria fue increible. Me mantuvo informada durante todo el dia, y su comunicacion me dio mucha tranquilidad al saber que mi perrito estaba bien. El tiene una dieta estricta y toma medicina, y ella pudo darle todo sin ningun problema. Se noto que realmente se preocupo por el, y me senti muy comoda dejandolo en su cuidado. Sin duda volvere a contratar a Maria y la recomiendo totalmente.”
“Shirley is a kind and compassionate person who was willing to take on my grand dog I just inherited. I did not know that much about Lola’s behaviors with other dogs or how she would be away from me. Shirley understands the need to pay attention and let the dog show you what they need. It was a successful experience for both Lola and I and I look forward to our next visit.”
“Leslie is the BEST dog sitter I have ever used for my Rottie! Not many people can manage a 100lb Rottie but her and her sweet Sasha (husky) were extremely easy to get along with and she sent pics the entire stay!!! She also allowed me to extend the stay an extra day with no problem! If you want to leave your family members with someone you can trust call Leslie! I will definitely book with her again!”
“Isaac was amazing! He was very responsive and sent pictures of our pup throughout our trip. He played with him often and even took him on walks. We even had some flight issues and he was very reassuring and flexible with us. Our dog had such an amazing time and came back one sleepy, happy boy! Will definitely be working with them again!”
About: I have grown up with pets of all kinds. It wasn’t a farm but felt like it. From dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, pigs and a rabbit, I have had them all. I grew up in the country, lived in the city for 6 years, and now back to the country. Between my husband and I, we have 6 kids and 3 dogs. The kids are grown so I have more than enough time and love for your pets. I know how stressful it can be to leave you animals even for a few days. I want someone that will love them and treat them like their own. Let me be that peace of mind for you. I currently do DoorDash during the day, so I am available anytime to visit your pets. Whatever you need from potty breaks to belly rubs. I would need to know any medications or special care for your pets. I’m available to feed, play, let your pets out when needed. We can go for walks or just stay in.
“This was Pepper's very first stay away from home (she's only 18 months old) and as you may imagine, we had concerns about how things would go. Pepper's "boarding mom", Jessica, has a puppy of her own, Penny, and it is clear that Pepper and Penny became fast friends. Jessica shared pictures and updates with us daily letting us know how things were going which was a big comfort. We plan on taking another trip in the next few weeks and have no concerns with having Pepper stay over with Jessica again.”
“Tammy was excellent caring for Adam and I felt like she cared about me as well in offering me reassurance that he was in good hands. I could tell she loves animals and shared many photos of their time together which was thoughtful, comforting and reassuring. Thank you, Tammy!!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14. I love all animals and have experience with all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I have 5 dogs at home so I’m used to chaos! I also started working with farm animals when I was 12 so I have experience working with horses, cows, pigs, chickens, and ect. I currently work only two days at my church, so I have plenty of time to play with all the dogs and cats! I will make sure to communicate with you when those times are and if I leave during the day. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run around in. All of my dogs are crate-trained, and they go up at night. During the day I leave them outside or they lounge around inside. All my dogs are allowed on the furniture.
“Rachel was an incredible pet-sitter for our three cats! From the start, she went above and beyond, bringing treats and even addressing some minor stomach issues they were having. Rachel’s care and attention were evident, especially with our cat, Fiona, who adored her so much she was waiting at the door for Rachel around her usual visit time for several days after we returned. It was so comforting to know our cats were in such great hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have Rachel back anytime. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet-sitter!”
“We had her drop in on our cat while we were out of town and everything was great! She sent plenty of pictures of him laying in her lap and getting lots of cuddles and brought in packages for us. Would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. Currently have a dog and two cats that I love to bits. I always find time to be out playing with my dog and keeping cats company when it comes to the night hours. I’m currently not working but I do have the transportation to get around for check ins on pets. I have free time on my hands at the moment so my schedule is really open to going in the morning, going in the afternoon, and going in the evening times before bedtime. I do not offer boarding in my own home, so being in the client's home I would be sure to introduce myself to the dogs, be outside while dogs are playing, and always attentive as to where an animal is within the house or backyard.
About: My husband Rusty and I have grown up with dogs our whole life! We have two dogs of my own now who are our ENTIRE world! We have met amazing dog sitters on rover that have helped our family out tremendously and we would love to do that for others as well! We have done plenty of dog sitting, walking, etc. with friends fur babies and it is always so much fun to meet other dogs and get to know their little personalities! I am currently taking a break from nursing contracts right now. I have a lot of flexibility. Please reach out as I’d love to meet your fur baby and help out in ANY way I can! My dogs and I love to go on long walks outside and after we are nice and tired come inside and cuddle or play some more! I know that it can be a little bit nerve racking to trust others with your fur babies- we are the same way! Our goal is to make you feel totally comfortable letting us care for your animals and caring for them exactly how you would want! :) We would also be open to having a play date with our two dogs too if that is something you would want and be comfortable with. Our dogs get along with all dogs and cats and love to play!
“This is Tania’s third time watching our dogs. She has dog sat for my Great Danes twice before, which is amazing in itself, but this time I added my two small dogs and she did great. Tania is super kind and follows direction so well. I will absolutely continue using Tania as my dog sitter! She’s the best.”
“I would definitely book again, Natasha sent plenty of pictures and communicated how my dog was doing. I plan on booking with her in the future for any future trips we can’t bring our dog along to. 10/10 recommend.”
“I contacted Holly just days before needing a reservation and thankfully she and her husband were available to keep our three dogs for the weekend! I was nervous because we'd only left our dogs with family in the past, but our nerves were calmed watching her interact with them. It is so obvious that Holly and her husband are real "dog people" that will treat yours as their own! We were updated with pictures many times which was wonderful! We will absolutely use them again!”
“Lindsey did a great job. Our cats are picky with people and they each have their own medication they have to take. The cats allowed her to give them their medication and actually remembered her from the first time she was there. Thank you Lindsey!!”
“Noelle did a great job of taking care of our pups! She also helped us out when our sitter cancelled the day before our trip - sent us pictures with every drop in visit and we came back to very happy dogs!”

About: I am that person who just knows, where to scratch, what their favorite treat is, how to cuddle. Some how we fit instantly. I have personally owned and cared for puppies to senior dogs, along with ducks, chickens, horses, rabbits and small nocturnal animals. I work remotely, with a large fenced yard in a quite neighborhood. Currently I am pet free with lots of love to give to yours. My large yard is great for running and playing fetch. Because I have a pool I am cautious not to leave pets out alone. Because I work remotely I am able to continue with any routine set in place. Night cuddler no problem, crate sleeper that is ok too. I have plenty of space and time.
“What truly sets Caitlin apart is the genuine affection and care she and her son showered upon our furry friend. It was heartwarming to see how quickly our dog formed a bond with them. Their genuine love for animals was evident in the way they interacted with our dog, providing him not only with physical care but also with emotional support. The updates and photos we received during his stay were not just reassuring but also a testament to the joy and happiness he experienced every day. Perhaps the most telling sign of a positive experience was our dog's excitement every time we dropped him off. His tail would wag furiously, and he would eagerly bound towards our dog sitter and her son, a clear indication of the warm and welcoming environment they created. This level of enthusiasm speaks volumes about the genuine affection and attention our dog received in their care. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a dedicated and loving dog sitter. The flexibility she offered, coupled with the evident passion for animals, created an environment where our dog felt at home.”

In my world, the pets are members of the family and I care for them as if they were my own, giving them the love and attention they are accustomed to receiving from their family. I also provide other services if needed at NO CHARGE such as watering plants, bringing in the mail/newspaper, checking pool levels, etc. Petsitting, boarding, and travel grooming services is what I do full time if Im not substituting at the school! They will have frequent potty breaks to eliminate any accients. I have a pipe fence with no climb on 3/4 acre of land for them to roam and play when supervised. Other times they will be free roaming with my two goldens. If they get along other times, they will be kenneled when I am away and sleeping at night in my bedroom.
About: I spent a few years working at an animal hospital. I am able to administer both oral medication and insulin. I had a diabetic dog myself and gave him insulin shots twice a day for four years. I am also very good with cats and know how to take care of chickens. Animals are my passion. My life revolves around animals. Taking care of my animals is basically what my life is about. I am big in to animal activism; animals are my life. They will be treated like family! I know how to take care of animals properly and keep them safe. I always feed dogs separately and watch them when they go outside.
About: I've been a dog owner for more than 10 years. Through these years, I've loved learning about dog behavior and how I can be a better life coach to my dogs. Right now I have a very anxious 12 lb poodle mix who I enjoy taking out. I try to find ways to help with his anxiety and get him out of his shell. Feel free to contact me for a complimentary 15min meet and greet to see where our goals align. One of my top priorities is to take care of my own dog. We go on walks first thing in the morning. But overall, most of my time is spent working from home; therefore, I am available at your convenience For safety reasons, I won't be introducing my client's pets to other animals. Dog care will depend on the dog and how welcoming they are of a stranger into their home. Unless a dog is comfortable with me. I will most likely keep my distance, respect their space, and provide structure. I also do like to stay in communication with my clients with videos and photos
About: I havent done much dog sitting recently, but i have experience with dogs and i understand how dogs think psycologically and physiologically enough to keep your dogs safe with me. Im currently working part time from home on mondays, wednesdays, fridays and saturdays from 9am to 6pm subject to change or get off early due to slow business, but I am willing to work around your schedules. I love being around dogs, whether its just walking them, playing tug of war with them, or just chillin with them.

About: I’ve been rescuing for 25+ years. For 15 of those years I exclusively rescued Great Danes. I currently have 4 dogs of my own. I am looking to spend my days making new dog friends and helping make their parents lives a little easier by taking my new friends for walks and playtime. I am available for regular routine walks & playdates as well as standalone care when needed. I am available during the day and evening 6 days a week. I have 5 dogs of my own. As such I understand schedules and the need to follow them. I will check on, walk, feed your dogs as often as needed so that their routine is as uninterrupted as possible.
About: My husband Rusty and I have grown up with dogs our whole life! We have two dogs of my own now who are our ENTIRE world! We have met amazing dog sitters on rover that have helped our family out tremendously and we would love to do that for others as well! We have done plenty of dog sitting, walking, etc. with friends fur babies and it is always so much fun to meet other dogs and get to know their little personalities! I am currently taking a break from nursing contracts right now. I have a lot of flexibility. Please reach out as I’d love to meet your fur baby and help out in ANY way I can! My dogs and I love to go on long walks outside and after we are nice and tired come inside and cuddle or play some more! I know that it can be a little bit nerve racking to trust others with your fur babies- we are the same way! Our goal is to make you feel totally comfortable letting us care for your animals and caring for them exactly how you would want! :) We would also be open to having a play date with our two dogs too if that is something you would want and be comfortable with. Our dogs get along with all dogs and cats and love to play!
About: Hey hey! My love for animals runs deep. Growing up, my family always had animals. We had rabbits, dogs, cats, and horses. Professionally, I have taken care of dogs and cats since high school. As a tree hugger through and through, your fur babies will be loved, adored, and showered with tons of attention. I would love the opportunity to walk your fur babies, stay with them while you’re away, or simply check on them during the day. I know how important our fur babies are to us, and for this reason, I promise and guarantee to treat yours as if they are my own. I will provide pictures and videos of my time with your babies! Also, please note that I do NOT require crate training or anything of that nature. I want your fur baby’s time away from you to be as close to their normal routine as possible. While I have two puppies of my own (Wren and Quill), they have the most fantastic grandma who loves to watch and snuggle them while I housesit for you! :) I am in my final semester of graduate school, which means I have ample time to spend with your animals. I prefer to housesit instead of drop-ins. Typically, with housesitting, your pets are more comfortable! I am a graduate student and work part-time; therefore, I can fit your perfect fur babies into my schedule at any time. I have open availability and would love the chance to get some animal snuggles in. Safety is my top priority! I will carefully follow your instructions and will diligently ensure your baby is safe while in my care. This is a promise!

“Hook stayed with Esequias and Lisa for his second stay. They treated him as one of their own and he seems to have adjusted well to his home away from home. They kept us updated with pics so we could see how he was doing. We just appreciate them so much and will be leaving our fur baby with them in the future.”
“Courtney and her family were SO good with our girl! They welcomed her right into the family and took excellent care of her! I have no doubt we will use Courtney again to care for Ellie Mae.”
“Michele was very attentive and sent us lots of pictures to keep up with what the dogs were doing. They seemed to have a great time in the big back yard. We will be using Michele again and we’re so happy to have a great option close to our house.”
“Richard did a great job with Koda He sent tons of pictures and followed instructions well. He lives nearby a large pond and lots of fenced in grass so it’s perfect for allowing pets to have exercise and frequent bathroom breaks. Richard and his family are also very friendly and easygoing, would recommend!”
“Mary and her family were absolutely awesome!! She made it very comfortable and easy for us to leave our puppy for the first time during a weekend getaway. She communicated well both upfront and during the stay including many pictures and updates. I think our dog was actually a bit disappointed to leave. We would definitely recommend Mary and will not hesitate to reach back out to her if the need should arise.”
About: I've had animals since I was a child. We've raised and owned everything from horses to ferrets. We live in 6 fenced acres with lots of room to run, jump and play! I'm super vigilant about the safety and the health of every animal so be assured your baby will be looked after! I currently work from home, so going outside, going for walks, and having playtime is not an issue here. I have time to share love and attention! Fenced yard, air conditioned home, no kiddos, no smoking in the home, with one 8 lb Pomchi that loves to play and make new friends!
“Shirley is a kind and compassionate person who was willing to take on my grand dog I just inherited. I did not know that much about Lola’s behaviors with other dogs or how she would be away from me. Shirley understands the need to pay attention and let the dog show you what they need. It was a successful experience for both Lola and I and I look forward to our next visit.”
“Leslie is the BEST dog sitter I have ever used for my Rottie! Not many people can manage a 100lb Rottie but her and her sweet Sasha (husky) were extremely easy to get along with and she sent pics the entire stay!!! She also allowed me to extend the stay an extra day with no problem! If you want to leave your family members with someone you can trust call Leslie! I will definitely book with her again!”

“This was Pepper's very first stay away from home (she's only 18 months old) and as you may imagine, we had concerns about how things would go. Pepper's "boarding mom", Jessica, has a puppy of her own, Penny, and it is clear that Pepper and Penny became fast friends. Jessica shared pictures and updates with us daily letting us know how things were going which was a big comfort. We plan on taking another trip in the next few weeks and have no concerns with having Pepper stay over with Jessica again.”
“Tammy was excellent caring for Adam and I felt like she cared about me as well in offering me reassurance that he was in good hands. I could tell she loves animals and shared many photos of their time together which was thoughtful, comforting and reassuring. Thank you, Tammy!!”

“Jennifer took great care of Bella. She sent pictures and a video. I felt very comfortable that she was being well care for while at her home. She was responsive when I would reach out and although Bella was happy to be home, I think she really enjoyed her time at Jennifer's. I will be a repeat customer for sure.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have rescued most of them. I am able to be at home with them as I do not work outside the home and I am an empty nester. I have a beautiful energetic 2 year old golden to keep them company. I just lost our 15 year old dog so Raider would love the company. Your dog will be loved and treated like family. Raider says that’s a good thing. I have always been a stay at home mom. I am now an empty nester except for my dog Raider. I would be home most of the time with maybe the exception of errands here and there. I have a 4ft fenced yard with a pool for the dogs if they like to swim. They might prefer to be inside In the ac when it’s hot or heat when it’s cold and they will have plenty of room to roam around.
“Emma took wonderful care of our dog, Kricket, and provided exceptional service from start to finish. Throughout Kricket’s stay, Emma sent daily updates along with plenty of photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We especially enjoyed seeing pictures of Kricket playing with Emma’s dog, Daisy, as well as the other dogs in her care. It was clear from the photos that Kricket was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Emma went above and beyond by providing a detailed report card at the end of the stay, letting us know how Kricket did during her visit. The communication, attention to detail, and genuine care Emma showed were outstanding. We highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitter. We would absolutely book with her again!”
