“Dorothy is the best. We’ve tried other sitters but she’s the only one that Aurora likes. She send updates and photos and my dog is always excited to see her and Daisy. ❤️”
“The pups had a fantastic stay! Megan took great care of them and kept in touch with us. It was their first stay with a sitter so it was a learning experience and we’re so grateful.”
“This gentlemen is the real deal! He is very respectful and absolutely loves animals and you can tell in the exceptional care he gives all pets! I had to place my dog in a last minute emergency overnight board due to my husband and I’s busy work schedule and lack of a sitter. Tony was quick to respond and open to learning more about our pup. He was very patient and thorough on how he would take care of him for us and teach our pup better behaviors during his stay. Tony is very knowledgeable when it comes to dog training and giving lots of attention that dogs need. I am so happy with the experience my pup had with him and we will remain a repeat client. I highly recommend Tony to take care of your fur babies when you need him to!”
“Krysta was absolutely wonderful! We did a meet and greet beforehand and our pup immediately took to her. She was very communicative and flexible and kept us up to date with photos and videos. Our pup can be a Velcro dog but it didn’t bother her and it was very obvious our pup had a great time with her. We will not hesitate to reach out to Krysta again for our pet sitting needs.”
“Such a nice family and they were so great with our dog! They also made sure to keep us updated with pictures and very fast to respond when messaged. Highly recommend!”
“Kristi is an amazing boarder. She did a fantastic job watching Kobe and June while we were out of town. She kept us updated with their eating schedule and sent pictures and videos. We will definitely be using Kristi again in the event we are in need of a boarder for our dogs! Can’t thank her enough.”
“Our fur baby absolutely loved his time with Jessica and her family. They were so attentive and sent us regular updates. Not for a moment did I worry that my baby wasn’t in good hands. They treated and loved him like family!”
“Isabella was fantastic with our big nervous Great Dane! We loved the pictures and updates as he braved being around her own fur babies. I would absolutely trust her with your own, and will definitely be rebooking!”
“My mini Aussie stayed with Jormary for 8 days, normally my dog is quite nervous in new surroundings, Jormary took such great care of her, gave extra attention so she would feel less anxious. I was getting daily updates and pictures. Jormary followed instructions to the t, I am very happy with the care Jormary provided for my pet. Would definitely recommend and I am certain I will book again!”
“Excellent communication!! Quick and thorough responses. I got lots of photos and an update each day. My dog was happy and playing when I picked her up. I would definitely book with Angie again!”
“Josh is always awesome! Takes great care of my 2 labs and he even took my Coosa to vet due to blood in her urine while I was out of town. Made sure my girl was taken care of. Josh is super awesome with his animals and treats mine like one of his own. Couldn’t recommend him anymore!”
“This was great stay for my 3 dogs.they had a great time . Our sitter was awesome. He kept us well informed was quick to respond and sent several updates . I would definitely use him again and recommend him to others. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Lily was by far one of the BEST sitters we’ve ever had for our cats! She’s a very gentle and sweet individual who has a natural ability to identify our cats’ needs. We were impressed with her consistent daily reporting on our cats, especially with her breathings with our more antisocial furbaby. We couldn’t have been more fortunate in finding Lily to trust our cats with over the holidays.”
“Brooke was an amazing sitter. Super attentive, really friendly & gentle towards my kitties. They really enjoyed having her especially for treats and cat tv. She was very thorough in her notes and took plenty photos for us to enjoy. Even went an extra mile to clean up any accidents they may have had and take trash out at the end of her visit. Definitely saving her profile for any future bookings. Loved having her. You will not be disappointed when you book w her.”
“Tony was absolutely amazing. He took such good care of our girl Nesta and sent us so many pictures. He had great communication and handled a mishap with our security system with such grace. Would highly recommend!”
“Monica was our first Rover sitter for our cat & she surpassed all of our expectations. We are incredibly grateful of how considerate, patient, and attentive she was with our kitten to ensure he had a good time while we were on vacation. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Incredible service. Was so nervous leaving all for the first time with someone new, but she really made me feel at ease with visit updates and detailed care. Very quick to respond and my cats took a liking too. I was expecting to come home to a mess because the cats are messy but it was clean and felt like it was just like when I left. Will definitely be requesting from her again if needed in the future.”
“She was an absolute gem while watching my cats during my recent trip. From the very beginning, her communication was outstanding she sent the sweetest little prompts and cute photo updates that made me feel so connected and reassured while I was away. Seeing my kitty happily playing, lounging in her favorite spots, and clearly well cared for in those pictures was such a relief and honestly made my vacation even better. She did a fantastic job my cat was happy, healthy, and well fed when I returned. Even though I completely forgot to tell her where the extra kitty litter was stored (total brain fart on my part!), she handled everything with such grace and resourcefulness. That level of sweetness and professionalism really stood out to me. If you’re looking for a caring, attentive, and genuinely awesome cat sitter, look no further. Adaline is the real deal I’ll definitely be booking her again for future trips! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, mostly my own and some family friends’ when they go on vacation. I’ve mostly dealt with smaller dogs but I have no problem with larger dogs. I currently own two dogs and one is a senior dog so he requires a little more attention. I can do basic care such as feeding and going for walks but I can also bathe if necessary. I currently work part-time and am in school for my bachelor’s degree. I’m taking a few summer courses but they are online so they don’t require too much of my time. My work schedule is relatively flexible as long as I have some time to work things out. I’ve done feeding and walks, whether it be for the restroom or just to get some exercise in. I live in a house with a large fenced backyard so my dogs are able to freely roam so they don’t like to go on walks much but we do take them out from time to time. I also play outside with them on a daily basis since they enjoy that. I usually bathe and groom my own dogs as well as some other dogs people have asked me to do.
“Kayla is literally the best sitter we could ever ask for. We have had her take care of our cats 2x before and she has been nothing short of amazing! Both our cats love her! If we could give more than 5 stars we absolutely would !!!”
“We requested last minute to watch our cats & it has been nothing but amazing! We had a meet & greet prior which helped my anxiety. Super super communicative and very detailed reports - also takes cute photos! Will definitely go back!!”
“Olivia was fantabulous!! I was nervous about using a service to take care of my big old guy. I have always had family and friends available to take care of my fur babies until now. After meeting Olivia, I was able to rid my anxiety. She sent lots of pics. She loved on my fur baby at each of the visits she made while I was out of town. She sent updates and even gave him his meds. I will definitely be asking her to pet sit again.”
“Would definitely recommend! Maricella dropped in to check on our cats while we were out of town and did a wonderful job. She sent thoughtful, detailed updates after each visit with how the cats were doing and anything she noticed—which really gave us peace of mind. Will definitely be reaching out to her again for future trips!”
“Thank you, Sara, for your diligent care of our three kitties while we were away for Christmas! I so appreciate your willingness to take time to get to know them and their little personalities and what toys they like best. I also appreciated your detailed notes and the pictures!”
“Mary provided good updates on the Rover cards sent out after each visit. She arrived and left at the exact time frames she said she would. She made efforts to gain our cats trust and we came back from vacation to a calm/happy cat.”
About: I have taken care of a household with 10 cats effectively, including one senior cat who needed special care when feeding her. As well as when I was young, I would help my mom or sisters take care of our neighbors' cats.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Temple
“Jaeger had a good time with Reagan. He came home happy but tired. He must have gotten plenty of exercise because it takes a great deal to wear him out. We will definitely be back. Reagan was informative, kind and kept us up to date on how Jaeger was doing.”
“She was very friendly, updated me multiple times with pictures on how my pup was doing! I was gonna be running very late for pickup and she was very accommodating!! Definitely will be reaching out to her again next time i have to go out of town!”
“Krysta and her family were great with my pups. They seemed to have had a good time there and didn’t seem to want to go home with me. I would recommend her and will book with her again.”
About: I’m a dependable animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve spent a lot of time around dogs, cats, and other small animals, and I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and basic care routines. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to watch their pets because I treat every animal like my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide a calm, reliable environment where pets get plenty of attention, activity, and love. I have plenty of time to care and love your dog. I treat every animal as if it was my own. My home is also spacious and I have a large fenced in back yard with a back porch. Your dog will get all the love and cuddles while you’re away and be in great hands! I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room. I also live in a reasonably sized home and have two young children that will love and play with them. I will have a crate if you want me to crate your dog. If not, they will be able to hangout with me or on a dog bed! 😊
About: Since youth, I’ve worked on farms and ranches with many types of animals and wildlife but also resided in the city with domesticated pets. I have also owned several different kinds of dogs, cats, cows, goats, and fish. They are all fun to be around for me. Being involved with a wide range of wildlife and pets in all ages, I’ve learned how to entertain and care for fresh born all the way to upper age seniors. I love to exercise and take my pets with me so whether it’s a young pup who needs a good run or a senior dog who can only take a small walk, I know when to adjust to all. I travel for work but when I am not traveling I work from home. The best part of working from home is the time I have to be active, spend time, and play with my pets rather than boarding. I have a fenced in yard that is secure where my pets love to roam and play if they are not in the house hanging out with me. They are crate trained so if your pet has a sleep routine you need followed mine are easy enough to comply. Indoors or outdoors, my pets love to socialize but can be separated if yours prefer individual time.
About: I have many years of experience with dogs, cats and bunnies — both pet sitting for other people and caring for my own four legged friends. I have rescued and trained several dogs and am a huge animal lover! I believe that with patience, attention to detail and a lot of love and care, any pet can be a GREAT pet. I am excellent with animals and can provide drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. I am available for the aforementioned tasks, but can also provide light grooming and health-related services such as brushing or administering medication if needed. I can handle any breed big or small and would love to get to know your pets! I can currently provide care anytime. I work remotely (M-F) from home, so I am at my house most of the time which makes for an ideal environment for boarding. If you’d like to set up recurring pet care I am available for this as well (such as weekly morning walks). My own home has a sizable fenced in yard, and I am able to provide in-home care so long as clients’ pets are fully vaccinated and on preventatives for flea/heartworm, are house-trained and have no behavioral concerns around other animals as we do have two indoor cats and two mini-lop bunnies. If you are uncertain of your pet’s behavior around other animals, I ask that we schedule a meet and greet prior to accepting a boarding request for new clients. When caring for pets in a client's home I will adhere to their house rules and standards and ensure it is kept in the same condition in which it was found. I can do light cleaning up as it concerns the pets, administer medication and ensure the pets are safe and well-cared for.
About: Hello, I’m Mallory and I have 3 dogs and a ferret that I adore! I am comfortable with almost any indoor pet, including rodents and reptiles. I was a member of FFA in high school and showed goats in youth fairs for several years. Throughout my childhood and adult life, there have been 2-5 pets in the household, as well as outdoor livestock. Rest assured the following will be provided during your pet’s stay: Fresh food and water, adequate indoor/outdoor playtime, neighborhood walks, baths, and several comfortable resting areas. I will make sure your furry companion feels safe and happy while you enjoy your time away! I work part-time from home and have plenty of time to attend to your pets needs. If I leave the house for any reason, I always return within 2-3 hours for potty breaks. I am able to pick up and drop off due to my flexible schedule. My dogs are nothing if not spoiled! However, they are supervised almost 24/7 and have ample opportunities to play or potty within my fully fenced yard. My 3 dogs will keep your furry friend company, if you so wish. My dogs have free rein to the furniture, living, kitchen and dining areas whether I am home or not. If you are more comfortable with your pet in a crate when I am away, that can be arranged. In addition, my dogs have access to their food and water all day, but it can be put away if your pet has a special feeding schedule. I am very flexible and understand all pets have different needs and personalities!
About: My genuine interest and love for my own babies coupled with their happy, carefree, and free-roam attitudes makes me a prime & the right candidate to be your pet's new friend. I have two furbabies that I absolutely love & adore. I understand the importance and severity of wanting them to go... unfortunately, they simply can't for whatever reason. So, you do the next best thing, you hire me. Give me the opportunity to extend my love, adoration and safe environment to your furbaby (canine or feline). If you hire me, worrying about your pet will be the least of your worries, as it should be. Help me to help you give your pet a vacation-like stay while you're away. You'll be glad you did. I'm retired so I'm home all day. I have lots of time to hang, lounge and play with your furbaby(ies) and I'll enjoy every minute In my home and client's home, the treatment is basically the same. Furbabies are given cuddles, hugs, and attention. They are fed, walked and allowed to run around and squabble in the back yard.
About: I've always had multiple animals and will love your fur baby or babies like my own. I have base acces, so that won't be a problem. I'm currently a stay at home mom with a 5 year old who loves to help if it is safe for him to do so. I have a fenced in backyard and a silly miniature schnauzer who loves making new friends. I also have a dependable car if in-home animal sitting if that is what you are more comfortable with.

They get along with anyone that walks through the door. I have personal experience with house sitting for my friends and their families when they go on vacation, travel out of town for the weekend, etc. I will accommodate to all needs of your pet.

We can crate if crate trained if you feel more comfortable with that! My puppy had a bad chewing habit when he was little, so we only keep the floors clean (except for toys of course) I can easily crate your dog if needed. Dogs are allowed on furniture for maximum cuddles :)
About: While I’ve been around dogs for over 10 years, most of my hands-on care experience comes from being a full-time mama—which means I’m no stranger to routines, messes, or giving lots of love and attention! I also work full-time from home, so your pup won’t be left alone and will get plenty of care, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. What really sets me apart is that we live a low-tox lifestyle—so my home is a clean, pet-safe space free of harsh chemicals and full of love. Your dog will be treated like family here, surrounded by sweet kids, fresh air, and a relaxed, playful environment. Whether they need a walk, a nap buddy, or a consistent routine, I’ve got it covered—just like I do for my own little crew. I work full-time from home, so I’m able to be with your pup all day.

Our mini schnauzer, Bogey, is very relaxed and loves being around other dogs—he’s the perfect companion for visiting pups! Safety and trust are top priorities, and we do everything we can to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home.
About: All my life I have been in love with animals , 2 years ago I got my first dog and she completely changed my life for the better. I couldn’t be more happier to welcome other dogs into my home to play and care for them and treat them like my own. My work schedule is pretty flexible I work 7 days on and 7 days off which gives me plenty of extra time on my days off to care for additional pets ! I have a fenced backyard and 2 fur babies to keep your pet company and play. If your pet is uncomfortable with other dogs I am able to separate them to make all comfortable and safe.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life! My neighbors, friends, & family have relied on me to take care of their fur babies while they leave for vacation or whatever it may be. I’m very flexible as far as drop ins! I can come early in the morning or late at night, whichever you prefer. I can come as many times a day as needed. I rescue dogs & cats! They always seem to find me one way or another. At this time I currently have 5 dogs & 8 cats (inside & outside cats), and a rabbit. Really wanting a prairie dog but still undecided.
“Isabella and Jetson hit it off! Isabella was nice and I knew she would be a good sitter because Jetson, my dog, went straight to Isabella! I felt he would be taken care of and I was right! Thank you Isabella! We hope to use you again!”
“Alyssa has been absolutely amazing with our puppy. I loved getting pictures and messages during the day to see how she was doing. It made me feel so much better knowing she was being well taken care of and loved while we were at work. We will continue to books with Alyssa and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home that lots of love and attention. Thank you Alyssa!”
“Yoda absolutely loved coming to hang out over the weekend. Each morning he would run to the car and at the end of each day he was a happy, worn out from playing little boy. I would recommend Gregory to anyone looking for a daycare setting.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Temple
About: I have had animals my entire life and currently have 5 dogs, 5 cats and a horse. My full time job is on a farm taking care of horses so I have the ability to administer fist aid and medications and am comfortable with all sizes and shapes of animals. Also have experience with goats and pigs. I currently work part time and travel some for work so my schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I have the ability to work evenings and weekends when needed. I will make sure to follow all the instructions given to me to properly care for your pet. I have extreme attention to detail and am able to recognize if there might be a problem with an animal because my job has been to have an awareness about how an animal is acting for the past 10 years. I also have extensive experience with my own pets and different issues they have had through my life.
“Tony has been an outstanding dog walker. From the beginning, it was evident that he approaches his responsibilities with attentiveness and professionalism. What distinguishes Tony is his genuine commitment to enhancing my dogs' well-being, consistently seeking ways to support both myself and my pets with care and expertise. He is reliable, communicative, and demonstrates a sincere dedication to his work, which is greatly appreciated. My dogs hold him in high regard, and I feel fortunate to have found someone so attentive and passionate. Ultimately, my dogs are very fortunate to have his care and companionship. Thanks Tony!!”
About: I've been dog obsessed since I was a kid! Unfortunately my three dogs have all passed away within the last two years and so now my husband and I are excited to welcome & work with your pet! While your dog is with me, he/she will be allowed to have free reign of my home as well as doggie door access to a large, fully fenced back yard. Dogs are free to sleep wherever they like- on the couch, floor, my bed- I treat them like they're my own. I also live within half a mile from a well maintained park and make trips there almost daily. While you're away I will keep you updated on your pet's activities in whatever way you prefer including email, text, or FaceTime (yes I know it might seem weird but I did this with my own dogs when I was away so I'd offer you the same). I do recommend a meet-and-greet prior to dog sitting. You would need to be present for this interaction. You must provide proper vaccinations. I require 100% honesty from you and I will be 100% honest and transparent as well. I will always treat your animal with the same respect and loving care that I gave my own animals. I'm currently available full-time to devote my attention to your pets between walking, cuddling or pet-sitting. I work from home and own my own business so pet-sitting is an easy fit. I have a large fenced-in yard and a doggie door. I am comfortable with crate-training puppies & helping them learn proper potty skills. I am also comfortable giving oral and injected medications for animals young and old depending on their medical needs.
“Joanna has been excellent with our dog. She is professional with communication before and after visits. She sends great pictures and updates on how our dog is doing. We have used her for daily walks as well as for drop ins and she is amazing. She goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is cared for.”
About: I am a stay at home homesteader that has three rescue doggos that live inside and a guardian livestock dog that spends her days taking care of the farm. We have hatched, raised and spend our days giving all the snacks to almost 50 chickens, 17 guineas, and 6 ducks. We have 2 goats one of which is about to give us a third. I know how hard it can be the travel with peace of mind without your babies with you, and I’d love to be able to help people enjoy your time away from home. Being able to set my own schedule while caring for other animals will allow me the ability to still care for my own animals without pulling time from them. I will do my very best to keep your fur babies routines exactly the same, and love and care for them like I love and care for my own babies.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 11 years old. My experience ranges from newborn puppies/kitties to senior animals as well. When I was 16, I was working at a ranch as a dog/puppy tech handler. I helped clean, groom, and train miniature Australian Shepherds. As well as I handled mama dogs and their babies! While there, I also fed a feral colony and acquainted myself with some of the barn animals (Horses, cows, bulls). Over the years, I have fostered and bottle-fed various litters of puppies and kittens. Now I own 5 cats and 2 dogs. I am comfortable with big or small animals! I look forward to caring for y'all! Currently, I am taking courses for medical coding/billing for AAPC. So my classes are every Tuesday and Thursday from 6 pm to 8 pm. But other than that timeframe, I am completely flexible! I do prefer to be able to go to the client's home as I feel that is what most pets are more comfortable with. Whether you have cameras or not, it is not a problem. Any type of special latches, gates, key codes, etc. Is not a problem either. Animals hold a very special place in my heart, so rest assured, your baby will be my baby.
“Anna has been amazing! I chose Anna because of the high number of repeat bookings and i can now see why. Received many report cards with great pictures of my doggos visibly enjoying themselves. I have no doubt they love her and your pets will too!”
“Kortney D. has been absolutely amazing with my dog, DECON. She is incredibly communicative and provides detailed updates about every walk, which gives me complete peace of mind. I always know exactly how DECON is doing and what transpired during their time together. Most importantly, DECON absolutely loves her! It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and goes above and beyond to make sure they are safe, happy, and well cared for. Her professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail are second to none. I highly recommend Kortney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker. She does a tremendous job, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides for DECON!”
About: I am Deaf & love animals. We have 4 pets. 2 dogs (Faye & Bella - sweet girls!), & 2 cats (Mister & Garfield - our boys!) I am willing to house sit any animals of any sizes/kind. I also know how to give dogs oral medications and such. I am willing to travel about 50 miles from my house to the location for services. Check out the calendar for my availability. Thank you for looking at my profile. If you have any questions, please contact me at anytime! Available anytime but would like to know ahead of time so I can accommodate with my schedule since I work from home running 3 businesses. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats that are freely roaming around my house. If necessary, I can come to your place if you’re more comfortable with that.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in high school. I have always had multiple of my own and love being outside. I have a dog of my own that I walk everyday, I love being outside, all dog breeds and helping people in times of need. I am free, but my hours can vary if needed Monday 7 am to 7 pm Tuesday 7 am to 7 pm Wednesday 7 am to 7 pm Thursday 7 am to 7 pm Friday 7 am to 7 pm I live in an apartment but I can communicate with clients what is needed, walking preferences, time, I can drive your pup around if they like to ride around, etc.
About: I’ve always had a dog involved in my life at such a young age. After I moved out on my own, I got my own fur babies. My dogs have been all over the USA with me. I am a retired truck driver. I love to give as much love & time as I can to my fur babies because we only have them for a limited time. I have a very flexible schedule since I am a self employed. I block off my schedule well in advance so there are no complications when booking. I love to take Coda on a walk in the evening, as we have a decent back yard and she enjoys roaming around it and laying in the sun. I have a huge basket of toys to allow for playing as well as give treats as seen fit.
About: I absolutely love animals and am committed to taking care of and loving your pets. I have had an English Bulldog for 3 years now, so I am accustomed to both the playfulness of a puppy and the stubbornness of a bulldog. I have been around the block with doggy health issues and training, so I am more than happy to accommodate special training or care requests. While I do not have an inclosed yard, I would love to take your dog to the dog park or out for walks if requested. I would always have your dog on a leash whenever we are not in an inclosed area. I am willing to board/dog sit two dogs from the same household although my profile says differently. It just depends on the size, breed, and age of the dogs.
“Bailey was so awesome! She was very communicative, punctual, and shared lots of pics. I needed someone last minute and I really appreciated her quick responses and updates leading up to and during the visit. I will definitely reach out to Bailey again the next time I need help with my pup!”
“Extremely thankful for Brooke coming by to walk my Kevin! I really wanted him to at least get out a bit while I was gone so I'm super thankful for her time ☺️ Immediately asked about preferred routes and if Kevin was reactive to other dogs etc. Would definitely book once again! Kevin definitely loved her.”

“Dorothy is the best. We’ve tried other sitters but she’s the only one that Aurora likes. She send updates and photos and my dog is always excited to see her and Daisy. ❤️”
“The pups had a fantastic stay! Megan took great care of them and kept in touch with us. It was their first stay with a sitter so it was a learning experience and we’re so grateful.”
“This gentlemen is the real deal! He is very respectful and absolutely loves animals and you can tell in the exceptional care he gives all pets! I had to place my dog in a last minute emergency overnight board due to my husband and I’s busy work schedule and lack of a sitter. Tony was quick to respond and open to learning more about our pup. He was very patient and thorough on how he would take care of him for us and teach our pup better behaviors during his stay. Tony is very knowledgeable when it comes to dog training and giving lots of attention that dogs need. I am so happy with the experience my pup had with him and we will remain a repeat client. I highly recommend Tony to take care of your fur babies when you need him to!”
“Krysta was absolutely wonderful! We did a meet and greet beforehand and our pup immediately took to her. She was very communicative and flexible and kept us up to date with photos and videos. Our pup can be a Velcro dog but it didn’t bother her and it was very obvious our pup had a great time with her. We will not hesitate to reach out to Krysta again for our pet sitting needs.”
