“Samantha is always SO sweet and caring to Cinnamon and sends plenty of pictures. I so appreciate her working with us for this last minute trip! Will definitely keep having her back as long as she is available.”


“Sarah did a great job taking care of my cat. Initially, he did not adjust to the separation very well, but Sarah stopped by my house twice a day when possible and let him sit in the open window, which made him much happier. He was definitely not as lonely and needy when I returned, so I think he enjoyed his time with Sarah :)”

“Haley was responsive and fulfilled every agreement and promise she made to us regarding care of our two cats and two rabbits and our home. It was our first time using Haley. She went above and beyond in providing care promised. We will definitely call on her again when we need to travel out of town.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who finds true joy in caring for animals and keeping them happy, healthy, and loved - especially while their family is away. Whether it’s a peaceful walk around the neighborhood (and all the sniffs!) or a quick drop in visit, your pet will be in caring and capable hands. I’ve always had a nurturing nature and have 2 dogs of my own. I’m dependable, detail-oriented and committed to ensuring your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away on vacation or just at work! I’d love to help 🫶🏼 I work remotely for a flexible IT startup and certainly have the availability for walks and drop-ins at any time of the day. Weekends are flexible as well. Your pets well-being is my top priority. I will get to learn their personality and quirks, what makes them happy, and ensure I can make them feel secure and content. For walks, I will always like to have a harness, let them go at their pace, and of course enjoys themselves! During drop-ins visits, I will follow your instructions carefully (feeding, medications, potty breaks, etc.) and always be mindful that your home stays secure - locking doors, cleaning up messes, etc. I will also send regular text updates and Photos so you know how your pet is doing! Building trust with both pets and their family is important to me, and I will treat your pup and home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
About: In addition to caring for my own dog and cat, I've also helped with my neighbor's dog, and my sister's dogs. I've got a fully fenced in back yard that's almost a full acre. And my german shepherd is incredibly sweet and gentle around other animals. I keep my weekends free so I can hang out with your pet! With school out my 15 year old daughter is home too and is eager to help love on some new pooches. My mother is also home most of the time working, and we are used to loud dog barks! In my home I have a German shepherd upstairs full time and a pit bull mix downstairs in the afternoon. Both are sweet and energetic and love new dogs! My cat does better with people, but she knows how to stay out of dodge when its needed. We do crate our dog when we leave the house but she free roams at night, alternating between the bed and the floor and the couch as she pleases. I would require your dog to be crate trained in case I need to leave the house during a boarding session. In your home, your rule is law. Whether its feeding your cat a carefully measured amount of wet food or keeping the litter box filled exactly half way, your standards are mine and I'm happy to go the extra mile. Likewise for a doggy drop-in to walk and feed. I always pick up after my pet on a walk so your neighbors have nothing to fear from me. And I'm used to reigning in a 90lb German shepherd who wants to make friends with every neighborhood stray cat so you can rest assured that I can keep hold of your dog on a walk.
“Katlin was awesome! She stopped by and checked ok my cat. She was great at communicating with me. She sent me so many photos and videos! I will definitely be hiring her again ☺️”

About: I have experience sitting dogs and cats ages 6 months - 16 years, including overnight house sitting, walking and playing, and regular feedings! I have trained two of my own dogs from puppies, and am very patient with all animals. I am a full time student at James Madison University, so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends on weekdays and weekends when not in school! I have a flexible schedule at school and am more than able to drop in for quick potty breaks during the school day as well. If there is not fenced in yard, I keep dogs on a leash at all times to ensure safety. I never allow pets to be near human food unless authorized due to allergies and special accommodations. I spend lots of time giving your pets attention, love , and care while their best friends are away!

“Penny and Evan were great with our little “high anxiety” fur baby. During the “meet and greet” Penny had us come in and take him straight to the fenced back yard where he could sniff around and go to the bathroom. Knowing about his anxiety, once we went back inside, Penny never tried to pet him, she just allowed him to get used to her being in the room. She was a very calming presence for him. Evan likewise was patient with him and allowed him the time it took to settle and get comfortable. We are thrilled to have found Penny and Even and the bonus is that they live about 4 minutes from our house! We have already booked the next daycare appointment!”

“Marah is the best dogsitter on this app. She will treat your dog like it's hers. My dog loves going to Marah's and she is always tired and happy when I pick her up. Marah is extremely friendly and makes sure that your dog is well taken care of. I never have to worry about my dog with her because she will have the best of care! I would give Marah a 10 out 5 if I could.”

About: I have over a decade of animal welfare experience. I have been fostering dogs in my home since I was old enough to be approved. Over the past 10 years I have cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages(from litter puppies to hospice care seniors). I am a stay at home parent. My husband travels for work therefore, I am home the majority of the time to care for our family, pets and home. I am available for pet care any and all days of the week. We have a large fenced in back yard. A designated dog area(3 rooms) that leads to the back yard. I have 3 young(3, 2, and 1 1/2) medium sized, well behaved dogs of our own who love to play! My dogs have never been known to resources guard or be aggressive towards other animals. I've never had any issues with dogs I have fostered in the past. However, if an issue does surface, my dogs can be relocated to another area of my home.
“Kaleb took great care of Presley while I went away for the day! I received pictures and videos throughout his stay, which was greatly appreciated! Presley had so much fun playing with Kaleb’s pups, he is worn out! Thank you for taking great care of my baby!!! We will be coming back!”

“Chloe was really great to work with our big dog. He has separation anxiety and can be a nervous and shy dog. She did a meet and greet beforehand, listened and asked questions about him. She also sent lots of photos and updates on his first day to make sure we knew he had settled and was doing okay. Really great experience to have for our 80lbs sensitive boy. Thank you!”

“We could not have asked for a better experience with Kimberly! She’s communicative and flexible, and Wilson is happy and tired after a fun day of playing! We look forward to many more fun days for Wilson with her!”


“Leslie was fantastic and we have plans to use her in the future as well. She was willing to meet up before hand to see if her dog would get a long with mine as well as meet her. It was an instant hit. She took some pictures and sent them to us and her dog is lovely and gets along great with mine. I have already recommended her to others. Thank you for your understanding and great communication. I look forward to using your services again and knowing my pup is taken care of and treated great!!”

About: Homemade treats and lots of love and fun! We enjoy playing at home, going for long walks, playing at the dog park, riding with the windows down, belly rubs, kisses and cuddles. I don’t mind taking to the vet or pet stores to be of more help to you. Enjoy light grooming and brushing with your approval. No matter the size, they are all puppies or kitties to me lol. I even have jumps and hoops for the active pups who like to jump and have a good time. I can give meds and special diets when needed. I have many referrals.i have two daughters who both work for rover as well. We would love to spend time with your babies and give them love and attention I am a stay at home mom that works one day a week i am free to love and care for your babies while you are away. I am willing to crate when you ask me to but prefer time out of crate to spend with your babies. Nothing like playing ball or cuddling. Whatever your pet need, I’m available.
About: My own pets are my entire heart, I know how stressful it can be searching for someone to love your baby while you’re busy! I would like to add my pets DO stay with my family full time when I am with yours! I ensure that I will treat your pet with the best care of my ability, striving to make them as comfortable as my own. I have previous experience working in a vet, as well as experience in a doggy daycare holding a roll as a behavioral trainer. I have no bigger passion than the one I hold for animals, and I truly feel lucky to be able to work with them. A little about me personally, I am saving to take courses through the Karen Pryor Academy so I can become a registered dog trainer. I am currently pursuing pet services as a complete source of employment, so I can be with your pets full time!! I love to spend time hiking, at the beach, or snuggled up with my own animals(or yours!) watching a good movie. Pet care IS my schedule.I can come for visits at ANY time! If I am scheduled for house sitting, I will be with your fur babies full time!! *Note, if I am scheduled for a check in or walk while I am house sitting for you, would be gone 5 hours or less. I WOULD be with your pet the entire night! I hope to leave your home better than when I arrive, as I hold great respect for people allowing me into their spaces and trusting me with their furry family. I am more than happy to take them on adventures or keep them snuggled up in the house. I do currently work Monday thru Friday 8-4 with quite a bit of flexibility. I have made my service area smaller so that I can stay close to my job and be able to tend to the needs of coming home on lunch, going in late, leaving early, or anything that I can do to make it work with your babies! I try to make sure to follow the routine they are used to so everyone feels as comfy as possible. I always require a meet before the time of me coming over so you get a good understanding of me as a person and I have no confusion on the best ways to take care of your babies.

“My dog Max appeared to have a wonderful time at Richard and Kelly’s. It’s awesome to have found a place close to work and home to take him for daycare :) 100% going again !!”

About: I've had a 91 lb labradoodle from puppy to now for about 4 years. I've also been told that my cat adopted me about 1.5 years ago. My dog is a happy go lucky guy who's never met a person or animal he didn't like. My cat is about 15 years old and requires injectable medication twice a day, so nothing scares me when it comes to medication. I've taken care of the odd African Grey Parrot from time to time as well. I take my dog out every morning, lunch time and several times in the evening for walks and play. Our cat needs medicine twice a day that requires an injection so I'm well versed in providing medication and taking care of animals with special needs. There's a giant pop up blocking what this field is meant to say but it's saying I have to fill it in, perhaps I can update it later when the pop up is gone.
About: As a dedicated animal lover, I currently own a hyper goldendoodle and a cat, which has enriched my experience in pet care. I have also provided dog and cat sitting services for friends and family. Working from home allows me to incorporate pet care smoothly into my daily routine. I have the flexibility for walks, playtime and feeding, ensuring that your pet receives plenty of attention and care throughout the day. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable space for pets, with a fenced in backyard. I am happy to come to your home as well.
“Allie took such good care of our dog Turbo. It was our first time leaving him, and she put our minds at ease. She has a lot of experience and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. Turbo was so happy with her! We will definitely be working with Allie again! ?”
About: Hi. My name is Brianna Szymanski, and my pup’s name is Nelli. She is a 1 year old German Shorthair Pointer! The bond I’ve shared with my dogs over the years was immeasurable and I knew from a young age that I wanted to work with animals. My dog is my baby and I spoil her rotten. I can assure you that I will treat your “babies” like they were my own, not only because I’m an animal lover, but because it’s how I want my “babies” treated while I’m away. I am a Pet sitter in Andover, Minnesota. My ongoing passion for animals, led me to multiple years in animal care. Whether it is pet sitting, dog walking, or training, I am here to help!

“Megan was so great!! She was available last minute when a work emergency came up and she treated my babies with great care. 10/10 recommend and will be using her services again.”


About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I could remember. This beginning with family members or neighbors, and eventually turning into one of my favorite hobbies, voulenteering for local animal shelters. I have experience with large dogs and small dogs, and with my time spent volunteering and also with my families own rescue animals, I believe I am a great fit for any dog. My family has a hard time leaving home to travel due to our rescues being not only very bonded to their owner, but perculiar on who they will spend time with. I hope to provide all families a sense of reassurance when needing any extra help! I graduated College in May '25 and am now in the waiting period of hearing back from Law Schools. My schedule is completely open all hours and all days of the week. Depending on the environment provided, I am confident in my ability to walk a dog of any size or just allow them to play in the comfort of their own backyard. Every dog is different and I am able to adjust however they are needing me to.
“Gussie did a wonderful job taking care of Simba, our geriatric Lionhead bunny. She was on time, followed instructions and was excellent in helping us during a stressful time.”

About: I have several years of experience with both dogs and cats. The largest dog I've handled was 120 lbs. I'm down to cuddle or go on a walk, whatever your pet needs. I am a college student so I am flexible daily and can come by your house when needed. I am free on weekends and most weeknights. I would love if you can give me specifics on your pet's routine and any behavior I should know about. I have some experience with oral medication if your pet ever needs it.
About: I provide compassionate pet care rooted in experience and genuine love. With vet tech experience, and pets of my own, your pet will receive personalized attention, whether it's Training, playtime, or just a comforting presence, making their time away from you as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. I am currently a stay at home dog mom leaving my days wide open with time to visit, walk, and play with your pets! I have lots of experience to give your pet the care they need! I will help care for our pets however you ask me to, I will help solitify training, care for, and follow your example because I believe it is important to keep the care of your pet consistent with your own personal habits, and tendencies! I am very adaptable, and willing to care for your pet however he or she needs, and with lots of love!

“Zoe was great! She was always on-schedule and was very patient with my weird little girl. She does things like hiding when it's time to go out and then pulling a LOT once you finally get her out. But Zoe never complained and always hung around with the baby for a few minutes of love and play after the walk. My schedule has changed and no longer need a dog-walker, but if I ever need one again, will definitely look for her!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since day one. I’ve trained two dogs on invisible fence systems myself, so I understand structure, patience, and what it takes to keep a dog safe, happy, and well-behaved. Your dog isn’t just a booking to me. I’m a college student home for the summer with a wide open schedule, meaning flexible drop-ins, and last-minute bookings are no problem. Your dog gets my full attention, not just a quick check-in between a packed day. Every dog that I meet gets treated like family. I’m attentive, patient, and consistent. I respect each dog’s routine, personality, and boundaries, and I make sure their environment feels safe and comfortable whether we’re at my place or yours.

“Love Leslie and Cheyenne! She has really helped Poe get comfortable by bringing Cheyenne on walks. Leslie is great with communication and is a kind soul. We are so happy we found her.”

“Holt took excellent care of my old "girl". I probably booked her care inappropriately for while I vacationed. I booked her for 3 - 30min walks a day and it was to much for her. While communicating with Holt we changed her care to suit her better. I appreciated that!”

About: I've had pets my whole life and love taking care of dogs and cats. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior dogs, and caring for special needs animals (injuries, long term illness, administering medication). I'm currently taking classes from home, which leaves me with a very flexible schedule for checking on your pets! Available mornings, afternoons and evenings all week. I treat every pet like they are my own! Aside from my own cats and dogs, I've cared for numerous foster animals through RCACP gaining valuable experience over the years.
About: I’ve been around all types of animals ever since I was born- ranging from small dogs, large dogs, cats, reptiles, and avians! I enjoy taking care of fur-babies of different species. Working in veterinary medicine for 5 years and on-going has taught me a lot about taking more in-depth care of our fur-babies. From medicating with pills to injections or even handling them on case to case basis. I currently work full-time as a veterinary assistant from 7-5 and I am willing to work with schedules if need be! I’m available almost every weekend and have Thursday as a day off. My schedule is flexible and very open! I’m comfortable with leash walking, fenced in back-yards, and crating. Feeding on a schedule and making sure that they will get the potty breaks and exercise they need!

I work night shift and she helps make it work for me. I truly have found i can trust her in my home and with my dog. She updates me with everything she does with him. I will be continuing to have her hang out with my dog as long as she will be available to. I would recommend her to anyone.”

I had the absolute best experience knowing that Mia was staying in a home filled with plenty of attention, patience, and love. Karlie is always in constant communication, too. She has dogs of her own, and they truly made Mia's stay much more fun, as Mia is super friendly. Mia returned home ready to sleep and rest after days filled with fun and endless running around—in fact, she didn't even want to leave, given how wonderfully she had been treated at Karlie's house!”
