“They were the absolute best! I could not be happier that I chose them to look after my 5 month puppy, Nero. They are a great, friendly couple who kept me updated with photos and shared fun moments they had with Nero. From the moment I met them, I knew that Nero was going to be in good hands and felt very comfortable leaving him. They will always be my first choice whenever I need to board Nero.”
“Such a great experience! Melissa is so great with our Penny and she keeps us updated and makes us feel confident! We will continue to use her in the future for any dog sitting needs.”
“Phenomenal care and attention given to our Frenchie. I'd give 6 stars if I could. Photo and video updates daily, and quick responses to any texts. Even took her on a family day trip! Thank you so much for taking care of her.”
“Fantastic!! I received pictures and updates daily and she was able to help me out when my flight was delayed. I even received an adorable Christmas picture magnet of my fur baby. Thank you again!”
“Darienne and her family were fantastic with our Benji while we were on vacation! She sent updates, pictures and videos of our boy having the best time. I really don’t think he wanted his “vacation” to end ☺️”
“Andrew and his family are amazing people. We highly recommend Andrew for your dog-sitting services. Our Doodle Emmy is always very happy to stay with him, and she easily excited and in good spirits when we pick her up. Andrew is very organized, reliable, and most importantly loves pets. He will treat your furry loved one like it was his own. Thank you Andrew !”
“Bear had a great time with Judith and Riley! When I wasn't able to make it back to town, Judith was so accommodating with letting him stay an extra night. Her dog Riley is so sweet and playful. Will definitely be returning!”
“Hannah is an amazing and genuine person. You should feel lucky if you’re able to book with Hannah. By far the best, you should feel confident leaving your dog/puppy with her. This was our first Rover experience and we will always book with Hannah. Our puppy (9months) became ill the morning we were dropping her off and Hannah took care of our puppy like we would. We were in constant communication. We ended up making the decision to go to the ER Vet. Hannah took our puppy there at night because our normal vet was closed. Hannah stayed with our puppy for hours. Once our puppy was able to see the vet we asked Hannah to go home and get some sleep, it was midnight. We finally received a call from the vet at 4:30am about what was going on. Our puppy got her meds and Hannah went back to get our puppy right after. Hannah followed the vet’s guidance because we were out of town for two more nights. We even looked at booking flights early to come home but Hannah was adamant she would care for our puppy with lots of love and cuddles. She truly was able to put us at ease. We couldn’t believe the level of service and how much Hannah cared. We will always book with Hannah because she cares so much about the dogs/puppies she sits. Kona loves her so much too! Thanks a million Hannah!!”
“Estrella Loved staying with Salene. We are so happy to find Salene. She is so kind and the communication was excellent providing updates and beautiful pictures, she treated Estrella like her own.”
“Jonai is amazing! I cannot express enough how thankful we are we found her. She treated our baby with so much love. She sent daily pictures and kept us informed of everything. Her house is super dog friendly. I will definitely have her sit for us again.”
“I had a last-minute work trip and Yulia replied right away. My dog was happy and content when I picked her up, which says it all. So glad to have a trusted sitter nearby!”
“Britney is our sitter of choice! We know our pup is in great hands and that makes leaving her far less stressful. We know she gets plenty of playtime and TLC. Britney is definitely at the top of our pet sitter list!”
“Maple loved her stay with Kathryn! As a first time Rover client I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Kathryn made the booking process easy and put my mind at easy. During our time away Kathryn sent many pictures of our sweet pup having a great time with her and her family! This really helped my small children feel comfortable leaving their fur baby behind! Thank you Kathryn and family for loving on our pup! We will be sure to book with Kathryn again!”
“Keyuana did an exceptional job taking care of Buster for 3 weeks while we were out of the country. She provided daily updates with pictures, and treated Buster with so much love and care. She truly treated Buster like family. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter and she will be my go-to pet sitter from now on.”
“Joy was great with our boy! He is diabetic so he is on a specific schedule with insulin shots and Joy kept up with his schedule perfectly. I could tell when we picked him up that he had a great time and he loves his new friend. We got plenty of updates and pictures while we were out of town which were so sweet and helpful. Will definitely be booking with her again next time we need someone to look after our baby ?”
“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. :)”
“Caitlin and Christopher were so great to our sweet boy Hank. Caitlin made sure to keep us updated on our boy. I will definitely be using them again! I recommend them!”
“Grizzly had a wonderful time! They took great care of him and sent lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Communication was great, and we felt very comfortable leaving him with them. Would definitely book again! 😊”
“Sonyta and Alan are outstanding caretakers for our pup. I trust and know that he’ll get taken care of as a member of their family while they watch him. Always thankful for Alan and Sonyta and I look forward to future bookings. Thank you!”

About: Caring, dependable, and compassionate pet sitter with a lifelong love of animals and hands-on experience caring for cats raised on a family farm. Growing up around animals taught me the importance of understanding each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines. Experienced in maintaining consistent feeding schedules, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, engaging cats with interactive play, and keeping them mentally stimulated and entertained. I understand that every cat is different and respect their individual comfort levels, giving them affection and attention when they seek it while also recognizing when they prefer their own space. Dedicated to providing a safe, calm, and loving environment that helps pets feel comfortable while their owners are away, giving families confidence that their beloved companions are receiving exceptional care.
“This was my first time booking with Gabbi and she was great with our pups. She was able to come check on my two very energetic dogs (Jack Russell Terrier and Lab). She did an excellent job of keeping us updated during the drop-in and provided photos. Very sweet and would definitely book with her again in the future.”
About: I have always loved animals from feeding, trying to talk to strays, to having animals of my own! I have always been the person to take the responsibility of all care of dogs mainly but I have experience with cats and even bunnies ! 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 !
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.
“If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets like they’re her own, look no further! She is absolutely amazing, and I can’t recommend her enough. My cats adore her, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re happy, loved, and well cared for while I’m away. She always goes above and beyond what’s expected. Not only does she take exceptional care of my cats, but she also looks after my home. She takes my trash cans to the curb and brings them back, offers to help with anything else around the house, and this trip she even accepted and put away my grocery delivery. She even offered to pick up any out-of-stock items with her own grocery order so I’d have everything I needed when I got home! That level of thoughtfulness and kindness is rare. She treats her clients like family, and it gives me complete peace of mind every time I travel. I truly couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter. She’s simply the best!”
“Eliana provided amazing care to my fur baby. I enjoyed the abundance of images she provided throughout her visits and absolutely loved the written updates provided. She even went above and beyond to pay attention to the little details and make sure we returned to a happy home. My fur baby was extremely lucky to have her as her sitter.”
“Maria was amazing!! I was anxious about leaving my two kitties for the weekend because they’re 9month old crazy teenage kitties but Maria took such amazing care of them that after her first visit I knew they were in great hands. She was calm and loving to them and treated my house with extreme respect. I have already booked her again for another weekend and wish I could give her more than 5 stars.”
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.
“Robin did an amazing job taking care of my fur babies. She sent regular updates, always showed up on time and even brought them treats. Even my very anxious cat came out to eat and get head scratches from her. She has one of those easy going personalities that you immediately like and that my cats trusted right off the bat. A very rare quality. I highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Estefania was wonderful. This was my first time using a dog sitter service and it was a great experience. She was attentive to my dog’s needs and was very accommodating. I will definitely be requesting Estefania for future trips.”

“Brenda is amazing. She informed me that my dog was very lethargic and had tapeworms. I was out of town and she gave him medicine and nursed him back to his perky self. She treats him like he’s her own puppy. I absolutely love her as a sitter for my fur baby.”

About: Compassionate and dependable pet sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments.

Skilled in reinforcing basic obedience and puppy training, including potty training, sit, stay, and lay down commands, using patience and positive reinforcement. Dedicated to treating every pet like family by providing personalized attention, affection, and reliable care. Committed to creating a stress-free, loving environment where pets can thrive and owners can have complete peace of mind. With the flexibility of working from home full-time, allowing me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. My schedule enables me to take regular breaks to care for pets in my own home or travel to clients’ homes while maintaining their established routines. I am committed to following each pet’s individualized care plan, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and exercise requirements. I understand the importance of consistency and strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable and owners have complete peace of mind. As a lifelong animal lover, I provide a safe, caring, and enriching environment for every pet entrusted to my care.

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 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.

Personal opinion but EVERY dog is very different and what works with one may not with the next !
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.
“April was amazing with our pups. Each day our fur babies looked forward to seeing her. She walked them, played with them and made sure that had everything they needed until she returned again.”
“Kimberly is amazing with animals! My dogs acted like they knew her for years and look forward to her visits! I am sure my babies want me to travel more just to see her! She will be first in my list if and when we travel again! Thank you Kimberly!”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and helping take care of them. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to make them feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more shy and laid back, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need. I currently work from 4am–1pm, which gives me availability in the afternoons, evenings, and on varying days off throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care after work and on weekends. I’m reliable, flexible when possible, and committed to making sure pets get plenty of attention, care, and exercise. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently have a spoiled 2-year-old Golden Retriever, so I understand how important routines, attention, and patience are. I follow care instructions closely, keep communication open, and can provide regular updates and photos during visits or walks.
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: Love animals just like they're my own. Love feeding and walking dogs. I used to always have a dog when I was growing up. My kids also love dogs. They want one of their own. I'm just trying to earn extra money for my kids. School is right around the corner! Spend time with them. ... Provide somewhere suitable to sleep. ... Be sure to feed your dog at least three times a day. ... Feed your dog the right kind of food to have a healthy diet. ... Make sure you have time to walk your dog at least once a day so that they can get exercise. I also will groom your dog if u want it. They will be in good hands if you choose me to care for them.

“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’ve had a chihuahua since I was a teenager. She’s just passed away in 2025 at the age of 18! She was truly my soul dog! Now, I have 2 cats, Clover (a Siamese) and Ash (a tuxedo). I love being their mom! I’m a careful pet owner (AKA I worry a LOT), so I will care for your babies the same that I do for my own! I’m currently looking for my next corporate role, so I’m available as often as you need me to check on your babies while you’re away! I have a fenced yard! I also am over-protective, so you can bet I will be overly cautious with your babies! I will treat them as if they were my own!
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!

“They were the absolute best! I could not be happier that I chose them to look after my 5 month puppy, Nero. They are a great, friendly couple who kept me updated with photos and shared fun moments they had with Nero.

Thank you Kathryn and family for loving on our pup! We will be sure to book with Kathryn again!”

Will definitely be booking with her again next time we need someone to look after our baby ?”

Highly recommend!”

We have used them a few times now and they have always been so caring, thoughtful, and attentive to Maxcee making sure to send me plenty of photos and updates (which I really appreciate). This last stay she wasn't feeling her best and Lisa made sure to give her meds and even managed to get her to eat. Afterward her stay, she reached out to see how Maxcee was feeling which was very nice of her to do. I know when I leave Maxcee with Lisa and David she is in good hands and that makes me feel so much better when I'm away from her. Thank you, Lisa and David!”
