About: As a lifelong cat owner and current cat mom to two cats, I know how important it is to have someone patient and trustworthy caring for your pets. Whether your cat is playful, shy, cuddly, or independent, I adapt to their personality and routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m comfortable with litter box cleaning, feeding schedules, brushing, medications, and plenty of attention on their terms.
About: I am known as a dog whisper, I have been able to calm angry simply through a gentle hand. My chickens follow me around like the Pied Piper. I am retired, so their routine is my routine. I generally rise between 6am - 7am and begin dog walking. After they have been fed, I take care of the other pets. At this time I do not plan to offer boarding on my eight acre hobby farm. If I do, then dogs, horses, cattle, sheep, and goats will be accomodated.
“Christian went above and beyond of taking care of Bella while we were away. He sent us photos and videos of our baby girl. He updated us everyday. We can tell Bella was happy. Thank you Christian”
About: As a veterinary technician, I’m trained in medication administration, senior and special-needs care, and post-op monitoring. I provide professional, compassionate care that goes beyond standard sitting.
About: Trusted, caring, and experienced with over 20 years of caring for cats! I understand feline personalities and provide safe, loving, personalized care so your cat feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I treat every cat like family and provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats in my own home and for family members. I understand that cats need patience and a calm approach, and I always respect their space and routine. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and gentle attention so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I also enjoy playing with cats who like interacting with their toys and giving them attention based on their personality and comfort level.
“Thank you so much for coming on short notice to review all of the care needs for the girls while we are out of town this week! Eliana showed patience and attention to details, and our gals loved walking with her!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and I am experienced in many services. I can walk, feed, and bathe your animals for you and keep them safe. I do work full-time, but I’m very routine-oriented, so pet care fits smoothly into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. I always make time for feeding, walks, play, and check-ins, and I plan my schedule so the pets get consistent attention. I focus on creating a safe, clean, and calm environment in both my home and my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s routine exactly as the owner describes, including feeding, walks, crate time, and medication if needed. I keep doors locked, make sure the home is secure at all times, and I am very careful about what pets can access. I make sure there are no unsafe foods, small objects, or open doors. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners always know their pet is safe and comfortable.
“Jane was absolutely wonderful! She treated our babies like they were her own. From coming out ahead of time to meet us and our babies, to sending us text and photo updates, we couldn't have been happier with her service. This was our first time to use a professional pet sitter and, of course, we were very nervous about it. Jane was very reassuring and kept in constant contact with us. We look forward to using her the next time we go out of town!”
About: At 26 years of age, I reside in a spacious and comfortable abode alongside my spouse. Although we have not yet welcomed children into our household, we are blessed with the presence of an affectionate canine companion. My love for animals has been a constant throughout my life, and I derive immense pleasure from spending time with and caring for them. My pets are a cherished source of companionship, with whom I relish playing and sleeping. As I am currently based at home throughout the week, I have the availability and flexibility to attend to the requirements of any beloved pet. My attentive and affectionate approach towards pet care ensures that they are provided with ample playtime, nourishing meals, and ample adoration. Moreover, my expansive garden area presents an ideal space for pets to engage in playful activities and revel in the great outdoors. Taking good care of pets involves some simple steps like making sure they have a safe and comfy place to hang out, feeding them regularly and giving them plenty of water to drink, making sure they get enough exercise and playtime, and making regular visits to the vet. You also need to keep them clean and neat by bathing and brushing them and giving them some fun toys to play with. No matter where you're looking after your furry friend, whether it's at your own house or someone else's, always put their health, safety, and happiness first!
About: I've grown up owning pets my whole life. I have also been babysitting pets for friends and family every since I was 10 years old. I've owned animals ranging from rodents to cats and dogs. I am a full time nurse but I only work 3 days a week so I have plenty of time to watch and hang out with animals 🙂 I have a large fenced in back yard that I keep very clean and trimmed. I'm also more than happy to travel to your home multiple times a day to make sure your loved ones do not feel lonely.

About: I’m Breanna, and I’ve been a lifelong dog lover with over two decades of hands-on experience. My home is a hub for happy pups—not only do I have years of personal experience, but I also regularly pet-sit for family and have assisted professional sitters on their weekly routes. Our sweet girl, Nova is a great companion for dogs who prefer their own space. She isn't an 'in-your-face' player; instead, she’s a calm observer who tolerates guest pups well. She takes a few minutes to warm up to new friends, so we prioritize slow, supervised introductions to make sure everyone feels relaxed. She’s the perfect match for a guest dog who just wants a quiet place to hang out. Safety is my top priority—not just for your pups, but for my household too. For that reason, my husband, Isaac, will sometimes join me for off-site visits and walks. We’ve found that this team-based approach works wonders for staying organized and keeping the dogs happy and supervised at all times! I’m comfortable with all types of schedules and am happy to provide the same level of care and attention I give my own pets. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! Full-Time Care at Home: Both my husband and I work from home during the week with very flexible schedules, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. We are able to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout the work week. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or just a quiet place to nap near us while we work, we can easily accommodate their routine. Weekend & Personal Schedule: We are available for care seven days a week, with a few set windows for our religious services: • Saturday Mornings: We participate in our ministry work, but are available for the rest of the day and evening. • Sundays: We attend our Christian meetings, but we are fully free outside of those service times to provide care and attention. During these short windows, dogs are safely secured in our home, and we are back quickly to resume our normal routine of play and supervision. Safety & Trust: With over 20 years of dog ownership and experience assisting a professional pet sitter, safety is my primary focus. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs a structured environment to feel secure. • Supervised Introductions: Because my dog, Nova, is polite but independent, I always conduct slow, leashed introductions in a neutral area to ensure all pets feel respected and safe. • Constant Supervision: Since my husband and I both work from home, guest dogs are never left unattended for long periods. • Double-Team Care: Having two adults in the home means there is always a 'backup' to help with leashing, feeding, or managing different energy levels between dogs. Our Environment: We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood in Anna. Our home is set up to be a peaceful retreat for your pet. • Fenced Yard: We have a secure, fenced-in backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. • Pet-Friendly Layout: Dogs are welcome in our main living areas. We have plenty of space for crates if your dog prefers their own 'den' for sleeping, or cozy spots for them to lounge near us while we work. • Clean & Secure: We maintain a tidy home (no small objects or hazards left out) and prioritize a calm atmosphere, which is ideal for dogs who might be nervous in a new environment.
About: I’ve always grown up with animals in my home. My husband and I have been dog sitting through Rover since Covid and have loved every part of it. We treat all pups like they’re part of our family, caring for and loving them as if they were our own. Hey there! 👋🏽 My name is Olivia, and my husband’s name is TJ. We both work from home full-time and are ready to share our home with your furry loved ones. We love to go on walks with the pups and go to our neighborhood dog park. We also love to play fetch in the yard and have lots of toys for pups to play with. To our returning families, welcome back! 💕 We took some time away after looking our baby boy, Jules, to a seizure. We miss him dearly, but Leo is ready to have fun with his friends again. Our house is not a home without paw prints. 🐾 We have no kids and we treat our dogs like our kids. Our house has a fenced in yard where we have pest control come out every 2 weeks to kill bugs like fleas and tics to keep our babies safe.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, including rescue ad fostering Australian Cattle dogs. I'm trained in k9 first aid and am well versed in medical treatments and medication administration. I work from home so pet care will be constant. I might leave for an hour or two for various errands but otherwise your pet is my top priority and will enjoy constant attention. I have a male German Shepherd who is a love ad very friendly. Your pet will live like mine. Attention, play, and will sleep in a human's bed. He will get multiple potty breaks during the day and will get plenty of play time. If I leave the house they will be crated but I never leave the house for more than an hour or two. I have a fenced in yard and live about a mile from a pet hospital and emergency vet.
About: I have owned dogs the past 30 years! (And a cat as a child). I am dependable, responsible and caring. You can be assured your pet is in good hands.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally.

Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a remote worker, I have the flexibility to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule allows me to plan visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day without the constraints of a traditional 9–5 job. This means I can provide consistent, timely care and adjust to each pet’s specific needs—whether that’s a morning walk, a midday visit, or evening playtime. Being remote also allows me to stay nearby in case any last-minute needs come up. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, clean, and low-stress environment. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide—so they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar space. I make sure your home is respected and left just as I found it. If pets are staying in my home, they’ll have a cozy, quiet space with plenty of attention, play, and supervised care throughout the day. In both cases, I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day.

About: I've loved animals from a young age. It all started with black labs for duck hunting. I was a vet assistant and horseshoer for many years. I've had dozens of personal pets throughout my life, and am now looking to love on and help care for other people's furry friends. I am recently retired and need something to occupy my time and give me purpose. When thinking about what I'm passionate about, animals is what is first to come to mind. I am up early and start my day with a walk. I am home most everyday and have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your pets needs. I have a fenced, clean yard with a covered patio. Plenty of space to roam and run. There is a water hose for plenty of water available. I have a glass back door looking outside. I can bring them inside the house as needed.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the level of genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every animal as an individual. I don’t just “watch” pets—I focus on understanding their routines, personalities, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m especially attentive to animals that need extra care, including senior pets who may require a slower pace, medication reminders, or gentle handling, as well as younger pets who need structure, supervision, and consistent training support. I’m calm and patient with all temperaments, including anxious or high-energy pets, and I adjust my approach based on what each animal needs. I also take safety seriously by closely following instructions, maintaining a secure environment, and watching for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. Daily basics: feeding, fresh water, walks or litter cleaning, playtime and quick health checks. Dogs may set the pace for morning/evening walks. washing bedding, deeper cleaning cages, restocking food or meds, and longer exercise or enrichment sessions. “I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets and follow each pet’s specific routine and care instructions. I make sure pets have fresh water, regular feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I closely monitor behavior, comfort, and any signs of stress or illness. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s established routine and maintain a secure environment by checking gates, doors, leashes, and any safety concerns. I also keep communication open with pet owners by providing updates and photos when appropriate.”

About: Hello. I would love to have the opportunity to care for your fur baby. I myself have had animals all my life and have taken care of others since I was 12. I have always considered my pets an extension of my family so I know how important they are to you as well and you want to know they are well taken care of. They need love and affection just as we do. Would enjoy walking or just playing with them. I have many years taking care of others dogs, cats as well as other animals. I am an RN , when school goes back in session I wil be avail, all day til 3 and after 9pm. So let's get walking and playing.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and currently have my heart dog! I have a little bit of experience in veterinary science. I am comfortable and confident with any size/breed dog and any age. I currently work part time in a bakery and will need advanced noticed to accommodate my work schedule for your sitting needs. My typical work day is 4am - 12pm or 8-5, so I am willing to request off or work through the sit, whichever you prefer! I provide frequent potty breaks (typically every hour) and play with your babies all day. I also love to let them sleep in bed or on the couch with me.
“I’m so happy I chose Natalie. She’s so sweet and just loves the doggies. I was kind of scared to get on Rover. I’m glad I did. I feel so much better with my fur babies In Natalie’s care. She’s amazing ?”
About: I love dogs! I have three of my own—if I could, I would have 300. I’ve been walking dogs and caring for animals for over 30 years, and my experience spans all ages, temperaments, and needs. I’ve done everything from bottle feeding puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, including administering medications and following special routines. I’m comfortable handling rambunctious, high-energy dogs who need structure, exercise, and patience, as well as shy or anxious pets who benefit from a calm, reassuring presence. My animal experience isn’t limited to dogs. I’ve also cared for horses and rabbits, so I understand the importance of species-specific care, safety, and attention to detail. I treat every animal as if they were my own, focusing on their comfort, routine, and well-being. Whether your pet needs lots of activity, extra medical attention, or quiet companionship, I’m dedicated to providing reliable, loving care you can trust. I’m a teacher, which means I have reliable availability in the evenings on weekdays. I’m also fully available during school holidays, long breaks, and throughout summer vacation. During those times, I have flexible daytime and extended availability to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. If you have a pet who needs consistent evening care during the school year or more frequent attention during breaks and summer, I’m happy to help and keep their routine as smooth as possible. When pets stay in my home, I focus on keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any special care needs. Dogs receive regular walks, playtime, and quiet rest, and I always prioritize comfort, especially for senior dogs or those with medical needs. I take introductions slowly when needed and make sure every pet feels secure and respected. My goal is for your pet to feel like part of the family while you’re away. Caring for Pets in Your Home When caring for pets in their own home, I respect both your space and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and household guidelines. I understand how important consistency is, especially for anxious pets, seniors, and medical cases. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I leave your home clean and cared for, and your pet happy, comfortable, and safe.
About: I have always loved animals from feeding, trying to talk to strays, to having animals of my own!

Sadly I don't get my dogs any more due to the family dogs passing away I gifted my baby girl to my mom I would love to see and take care of yours! Truly missing all 3 of mine ! Currently my schedule is open I am trying to get more time home with my daughter would love for it to be a regular thing ! Tell me how you take care of yours and I'll do the same! Personal opinion but EVERY dog is very different and what works with one may not with the next !

“This is my third time booking with Vanessa and her husband and they are great as always! They provide photos and updates daily. We know our fur babies are in good hands when they are under their care. Highly recommend!”
“Derek and Kristina were so kind. They helped me out last minute and it means a lot. This was Roxie first time being with anyone other than us and she was happy! I really appreciate them. Roxie looks forward to seeing them again soon!”
“Oreo’s stay at Nicole’s was simply awesome. Nicole was so professional. She kept up with videos and pictures. Oreo had so much fun and met new doggy friends. My mind was at rest and Nicole kept me updated on everything.”
“Christian went above and beyond of taking care of Bella while we were away. He sent us photos and videos of our baby girl. He updated us everyday. We can tell Bella was happy. Thank you Christian”
“Julie and Natalie boarded our corgi, Roux for a several days while we were on vacation. We had a great experience! We received updates and Roux seemed happy and comfortable during her stay. We will definitely reach out again for any boarding needs!”
“Katie and her family were wonderful taking care of our two pups for 3 weeks. They knew how to approach our dogs and their needs and really helped our dogs to have a great time and become truly comfortable around kids for the first time. One of our dogs became fast friends with their dog as well. Katie updated us throughout our trip with photos and any questions they had. So thrilled we found them to take care of our fur babies when we're out of town. Couldn't recommend more!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters during our wedding week. Kaitlyn was incredibly kind, attentive, and kept us updated with daily photos. Our pups came back happy and just as we left them, safe and loved. We’ll definitely be booking again soon!”
“Our pom had a great time with Juan and his family! Juan sent regular updates and photos of him throughout his stay. Their dogs and cat played with him, his kids gave him lots of cuddles, and Juan/his wife had a new WFH coworker. :)”
“Chloe was wonderful! She was able to accommodate our last-minute request and made the whole process easy and stress-free. We really appreciated her flexibility and responsiveness. We would absolutely book with her again the next time we’re out of town.”
“Whitley took great care of our dog and sent updates during her time there. Drop off and pick up were easy and she made my dog feel comfortable. Would highly recommend.”
“What can I say!!!!! What an INCREDIBLE experience!!! This was our first time using Rover and we were so lucky to have found Tracey! An incredible woman with a loving family and an amazing way with our furbabies! This was our biggest concern, our dogs are like family to us, they live, sleep, eat, inside the house. They are used to apartment life although we recently moved into a large house with a yard and after only being here for a few months we leave for a planned vacation, I know they were probably thinking... WTH!!! Tracey quickly remedied any concerns we may have had, our two large dogs seemed to fit right in with her crew. Ranger is pretty easy going for an old man, but we often refer to Roxie as "Anxious Agnes" her anxiety levels are through the roof sometimes. They both seemed to adjust to Tracey and her home like they had lived there forever! While onboard the ship we received updates and pictures when possible and when we arrived back home, I'm not sure they wanted to leave! LOL Thank you so much Tracey for inviting us into your home and including our family as part of yours! I'm sure this is only the first of many vacations these two troublemakers will get to look forward to spending with you and yours!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”
“Lisa and David always take great care of Sadie! They are always on top of giving updates and Sadie loves spending time with them. I could not recommend them more!”
“Gentry was AMAZING with our pup. He got a nice fenced yard to play in, and had an absolute blast playing with her personal pets. She updated me through his stay and even sent a video of him. I would recommend Gentry to anyone after seeing how happy our pup was there. He even whined on our car ride home because he wanted to go back and play. We will definitely use Gentry again for our bookings.”
“We found Sheri on Rover with great reviews. We dropped our pups, Louis and Ziya on Sunday, 2/6/2022 for the first time. Sheri is very kind and friendly and answered all our questions and put our mind at ease as we were quite concerned with Ziya who is very shy and timid. Sheri kept us posted and sent photos 2-3 times a day. We are so happy to have found Sheri and dropping our pups again in March. Thank you Sheri.”
“Sir Charles really enjoyed himself! I appreciate Andrea sending me pictures of my pup while I was out of town. I can tell that he was played with and cuddled just like we do at home. She even reached out about a potential alternate feeding schedule based on her observations with him. I will definitely leave Sir Charles with her again.”
“Judith was wonderful with our Maggie while we were gone for 10 days. We had confidence that she was not only being taken care of but loved as well. Her communication and daily updates gave us peace of mind while away. We'll definitely bring our Maggie back for another stay. :)”
“From what I can see, Missy did fine with Amanda and her family! I love that Amanda and her husband tried different tactics to get Missy to take her pill and to eat. And it sounds like Missy provided a good amount of laughter for them. I know she had fun playing with all of the dogs. Amanda, thank you so much for taking care of my Missy!”
