“I am not one to bother leaving recommendations & I wanted to see if my experience would serve the test of time before I did. I have used Rachel on 3 occasions so far, from a few days up to two weeks at a time. For context, I have a 10# poodle & I have never let my dog spend the night anywhere before except with a couple close friends. I was apprehensive to try this service, but ran out of options one time when I had to fly out in an emergency. Now, this is my go to place. Rachel has a great place with fenced acreage, a couple school age children who are respectful with dogs. At times there are other dogs that she cares for at the same time, so it would be helpful if your dog is socialized well & then they have “friends” to play with. I couldn’t ask for anything better with Rachel’s service. My dog has to take meds & she is competent with all of that as well. She sends pics of your dog to you periodically if you’d like while you’re away to reassure you everything is great. She communicates well & asks questions if needed. If you are unable to take your dog with you, I would highly recommend Rachel & her service on Rover.com with anyone.”
“They treated our dogs great. Couldn’t be happier. Nice house with a small back yard. Friendly resident dogs. Maren and Jonathan are dog lovers. We will use them again. We enjoyed some pictures of our happy dogs while we were away.”
“My girls loved staying here! The family was so kind to them and took excellent care of them! It is a challenge to find care for a special needs pet, but Amanda went the extra mile for our little ones!”
“This was my first time leaving my fur baby alone for more than a night since I got her, and Skylar took such great care of her while I was away!! My pup had so much fun she didn’t want to leave! Skylar is amazing and I would recommend!! ❤️”
“Marlena and her family were loving, caring, and communicative during my dogs stay. They sent lots of photos, handled his food aggression with other dogs perfectly, and even helped with training during his stay! He stayed over the holidays so they let him open his presents as well. They truly love and care for animals and have training and experience to do so. I would highly recommend them!”
“Darby asked all the right questions when we met up with her for the first time. We knew after talking with her that she would be a good fit. Turns out she was better than we hoped for. She sent us updates and pictures. We could tell our girls were very comfortable with her. We definitely will use Darby again in the future. Thank you again Darby.”
About: I can't remember a time growing up or much of my adult life that I have not had a dog, or cat, or both. I'm famous for bringing home strays of all kinds....turtles and rabbits to name a couple. Being with animals makes me happy and brings a content and fulfillment that only a furry friend can give. Your bundle of joy will receive an abundance of love and affection and as much play as they want! I am a laid back fur mom so if your pets are allowed on the furniture at home, that's okay by me. You'll find my cats and dog usually on the couch right next to me, and of course taking up most of the bed at night. I wouldn't have it any other way. And yes, I have regular conversations with my animals and I'm quite certain they understand everything I say, lol! Aside from loving my fur babies, I also volunteer at a local shelter. I would love a chance to meet your fur baby. Their paws are in good hands when they're with me! I am currently a stay at home wife enjoying this amazing opportunity to meet and care for so many awesome animals. I am truly blessed! I have a fenced yard and fur babies for yours to play with. If they'd rather play solo we can accomodate that as well. Or if you prefer, I can crate your four legged friends. I am here to make sure your furry loved ones are happy, safe, and healthy. I will do my absolute best to provide for any special requests or needs. Please ask!
“John was fabulous and took lovely care of our dog. Pictures and updates were appreciated. He let us know how she was becoming comfortable at his home and she loved the daily walks.”
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals my entire life growing up on a farm. I have been a Licensed Veterinary Technician for 24 years. I work part-time remotely and part-time in a vet clinic. I am looking to supplement my income while still working my current part-time jobs. I work Monday through Wednesday remotely. Then I'm working Thursday and Friday in a Veterinary Hospital. I'm mostly available Friday night through early Thursday morning. I have 4 dogs, 2 outdoor cats, 2 horses, and 15 chickens. I can easily separate dogs as needed with a secure large backyard. Our entire property is 5 acres completely fenced and cross fenced. My husband can easily take care of our animals if I'm away from the house.
“Margaret was a great sitter for our dog Xena. She was responsive, polite, and provided regular updates during Xena's boarding. Xena typically takes a bit to get comfortable, but was quick to integrate with Margaret's dog Mochi. They quickly became best friends and she was clearly enjoying her stay. Thanks Margaret!”
“Kristin was great! She sent me pics of my dog everyday and kept me updated with everything. I can tell that she took great care of my dog because she was so happy when I picked her up. Definitely want to book again :) thank you again, Kristin!”
“Nothing but the best! We appreciate the time and care you gave little Pooter! And she appreciated it, too! She was beat when she got home and slept the night through without getting up for a bathroom call! Good exercise, good company...everything was great! Will Re-book with Ashleigh again and again! Randy C.”
“Our dog Odin loved his stay at Tonya's. He was definitely from all the fun with the other dogs. We don't trust many people with our pups. Tonyas great communication helped put us at ease being away from our boy. We will definitely reached back out for cars.”
“This is our second time with Sheena and she continues to amaze us with her level of care! This time Koko stayed for two weeks, and I received a message update with photos/videos on Koko's wellbeing at least once a day. Sheena and her family continue to show Koko patience and love with her many quirks and ensures Koko is comfortable as well. I very much recommend trusting Sheena with your dog-sitting needs!”
“Wonderful communication, professionalism, and enthusiasm. She worked with my requests and provided a worry free experience. I really appreciated Sheena's help in sitting our puppy and would definitely use her again!”

“Julie was great!! She was always available for a question and left great comments on how our cat was doing, even though she never really saw him because he hid the entire time. She even left him treats, which was so sweet! I’d definitely have her take care of our cat again. Maybe next time, she’ll actually get to see him.”
“Fawn went above and beyond to care for our cats! We are also in the middle of showing our home to sell and she ensured the floor was free of food and litter each time she checked on them. She sent AMAZINGLY CUTE photos of them and they adored her. She is a pet whisperer!”
“Tiffany & Tiara are great sitters! We could tell our pets were well cared for and had a great time! This was our first time using Rover and they helped us understand the process and put us at ease. Highly recommend having these two for your pet needs.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and those needing a little extra patience and care. Whether it’s playtime, training support, or simply keeping your pet comfortable, I make sure every animal feels safe, happy, and part of the family. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks, drop-ins, or playtime during weekdays after work hours. Your pet’s routine and comfort are my top priority, so I make sure to adjust my schedule to meet their needs. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new friends. Safety is always my first priority, so I supervise playtime closely and can crate your pup if needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing a safe, loving, and structured environment so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“I can't say thank you enough to Makaila for being so warm and welcoming especially for my first time using Rover. I was very anxious about a stranger being in our home visiting our 13y/o female Keeshond but I also couldn't imagine her being around a bunch of strange people and other dogs like what you'd get at a kennel/boarding house. Makaila was so patient with all my questions, concerns and requests. And my dog liked Makaila instantly at our meet and greet (as did my cats and 5y/o son!) I highly recommend her services to anyone. I know we look forward to having her care for our pets in the future.”
“Sara was incredible! She went above and beyond any expectations for a drop-in petsitter. She noticed my cat was walking with some difficulty and researched massages that could help her. She spent time massaging Maddie's back and leg muscles and now she's walking with much more ease! She made recommendations for play toys that has given my 12-year old cat some much needed excitement. She sent photos and videos every day of her playing with Maddie, and now I think Maddie missing that time with Sara today! Sara was on time every day and very respectful of our home. We are deeply grateful to have found her and will definitely seek her out again!”
About: I have worked for about 6 months in a doggy daycare facility, where I was able to enjoy keeping our customers fur babies happy and safe. Before that I was also volunteering at a private doggy daycare facility in Ireland, where I spent a few months taking care of all kind of dog breeds. In addition my husband and I welcomed two puppies beginning of last year. Meanwhile they are both about 1 year, so if your pet should stay with us, they will have lots of play time with them :) I'm currently taking this semester off, so I have lots of free time to spent with your loving fur babies. I'm available most of the time, so just sent me a message. I will follow all rules and instructions you give me regarding your pet, anything outside of your guidelines, I will treat your pet like I would want someone to treat mine, with love and care.
“We were in town for a vacation and couldn’t leave our dog alone when we wanted to go out. Nancy was super flexible and did a great job with our Copper. She took care of him several times and by the 2nd visit Copper was so excited to see her. Thanks Nancy!”
About: I have hands on experience caring for multiple cats with different temperaments and routines. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, giving medication, and giving cats the patience and attention they need to feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve cared for affectionate cats who love constant attention, energetic cats with endless zoomies, and more independent cats who prefer quiet company and window watching. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for, while also keeping owners updated with thoughtful and detailed check ins.
“Sidney was absolutely great! It was my first time using Rover and also the first time leaving my cat alone for so long. She made everything as smooth as possible and stress free, I was able to go on my trip knowing my cat will be taken care of. She provided regular updates and was very responsive to any questions I had. Upon my return, my cat was healthy and happy as ever. Definitely booking Sidney again if and when I need to leave on another trip!”
About: I work remotely part time from home. Looking for extra income and more animals to adore. I help take care of family also. Long term and short term availability. Currently working at home part time. So lots of time. And have my own schedules with current animals, livestock, poultry and cats & dogs. Also some reptiles. I am working on sitting up a safe area for pets to be removed from my animals and then will be open for boarding. Unsure on the timeline of that
About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and temperaments for years and have experience providing drop-in visits for neighbors, friends, and family. Working in veterinary medicine has given me hands-on experience recognizing subtle health concerns, administering medications, and caring for senior or medically sensitive cats. I understand feline behavior and prioritize low-stress, calm interactions to keep your cat comfortable and safe in their home environment.
About: grew up riding horses and caring for animals of all kinds. Throughout my life I’ve owned and cared for horses, dogs, cats, goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, and other farm animals. Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand animals’ different needs and personalities. I also grew up in a family that bred and raised championship-line German Shepherds, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I currently own a German Shepherd and understand the importance of exercise, structure, consistency, and plenty of love and attention. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, playtime, feeding, medication, or just companionship while you’re away, I will care for them as if they were my own. I am a stay at home mom at the moment, with one baby and one dog. I am in school for personal training and I go to the gym in the morning, walking and caring for dogs will get me out of the house and around animals I love. I currently have a German shepherd who gets let out as often as he wants, I also take him for 30-60 minute walks a day, I will care for your pets as if they are my own. And respect how you want them cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 12, people trust me with their pets because I use to walk peoples dogs and play with peoples dogs around the neighborhood. this will be my only job at the moment so i am available all of the time mostly. i do online school but its a go at your own pace . When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their comfort and safety. I make sure to follow any specific instructions the owner provides, like feeding schedules and exercise routines. I also spend quality time with the pets to keep them happy and engaged, whether it's playing, walking, or just cuddling. Keeping the home clean and maintaining a routine helps the pets feel secure while their owners are away.
“Sarah was amazing! She went above and beyond caring for my cats. So nice to have someone you can trust in your home and take excellent care of your babies. Thank you Sarah!”

“Our 3 babies had their first visit with Miss Rachel today and it went amazing. They seemed happy and well taken care of. We’re already scheduling for another day next week. Miss Rachel seems very sweet and her family all were involved as well. Thanks Miss Rachel. See you again soon”
“Candi was awesome! She was so patient and understanding with my pups extreme separation anxiety and did really well communicating with me while I was gone. She responded fast and while I needed her last minute, she was able to adjust to fit me in. So thank you Candi! Maya very much appreciates and loves her new toy! Will definitely use her again as well as recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter.”

“Steffi is super sweet and treated my dog Honey with the love and respect any dog mom would want for their fur baby! Steffi would send me photos and videos to update me on Honey’s status, which was very reassuring. Despite having separation anxiety, Honey seemed to really enjoy her stay with Steffi! I’d highly recommend Steffi to anyone.”
“I was able to drop off my dog at their home. I received lots of pictures of him enjoying his day. He fell asleep when he got home so I know he got lots of exercise and attention.”
About: I have had dogs and cats nearly all of my 36 years. I have experience with walking and caring for dogs from 5 lbs to 150 lbs. I currently have a beautiful male pit bull boxer mix that loves other dogs as well. My children, ages 4 years and 9 years both love animals and would love to play with your pets! I have a very flexible schedule and enjoy going for walks. As a stay at home mother I am glad to earn some income while easing the stresses of having to be away from your pets while working or travelling. Please contact me with any questions you may have so I can start helping you and your pets today! As a stay at home mom I am quite flexible. Other than drop off and pick up times for school I am open and free. I am always cautious with new animals and slow to introduce my pets to yours if it becomes necessary. Taking cues from the animals and soft confident speech are the way to go.
“I really appreciate Darby's stance on dominance upon arrival, she deals with no bull! And I felt my pup was secure during her daily visits at Darbys home, with walks and suitable interaction with other pups at her home, I had no complaints. My pup was fed her meals as requested and Darby went the extent to clean the containers I brougjt homemade meals in for feeding, so I hadnt needed to worry about that after a long day! I respect Darby's stance even if off stanish to start.”
“Marlena was great with Rainy while I was gone for the day. Rainy's need and comfort were a priority for her. She also sent me several texts with photos for mt peace of mind. We will definitely use her services again.”
“The way Michael gained our dogs’ trust instantly was remarkable. He seemed to enter their world. I love my dogs so much and it was moving to see this. I’m so grateful to be able to leave my dogs in the care of such a person!”
“We have used Jeremy a couple times now and he has been fantastic. Marley loves visiting him and Jeremy is always good about sending updates on how Marley is doin. We’ll definitely keep using him.”
“Excellent service. Sonia has a genuine and special love pets. My baby Maltese Napoleon spent a day with her and when I picked him up he was happy and in a very good mood for a while after we got home. It was super easy to drop off and pick up. I will definitely bring my baby back even if I don’t need care because he even made new fur friends while he was there. Sonia also sent beautiful pictures throughout the day. Total peace of mind when my baby was on her care.”
About: Had dogs my entire life. Lost my last one a few months ago. Have fenced in yard for them to run. And plenty of toys. I’m retired so I have nothing but time to watch your pet. I walk every day would love to have your dog along for the walk. I have a fenced in yard , and a.good sized back yard with squirrels that need to be chased. Your pet will be welcome in our home.
“This is was my first experience with Rover, and I was very satisfied! Kristina was very accommodating for my puppy and flexible with me as I tried to plan around my work schedule.”
“Awesome dog sitter. My dog has anxiety issues when left alone and he did wonderful with her! Her dog Rue helped out with the transition time and Buddy had a great time! Will be reserving her in the future.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. From high energy terriers and pointers to relaxed Labradors. I currently am the proud owner of two Cocker Spaniels, Moon and Minnow. If you're dog doesn't like the company of other dogs, I am happy to take them on a private nature walk or stay in the safety of our fenced yard. We are a work from couple, with atleast one of us at the house at all times. My partner and I work remotely full time. We enjoy taking our dog Moon on a morning, lunch, and evening walk or run each day. We enjoy a spacious home with a fenced in yard. The ground floor provides lots of indoor space and hardwood floors that are easy to clean up from mud to accidents. If you're pet is accustomed to being on furniture, don't worry that is fine with us too!
“Alison is our favorite dog sitter. She is very responsible, great with communication, really takes the time to understand our dog’s needs. She works from home but always takes time to take our dog out for walks or play with her. You can really tell she loves dogs. We couldn’t recommend her more.”
About: We're two proud dog moms based in Baltimore City with a deep love for pups of all kinds! We've spent years walking, boarding, and caring for dogs in our neighborhood, often hosting overnight stays so our sweet 4-year-old girl Poppy can have a playmate. Poppy loves meeting new friends and would be thrilled to welcome your dog into our home—though she insists on a quick meet-and-greet first (just to make sure it’s love at first sniff). We’ve also cared for dogs long-term, including a full month with an energetic one-year-old, so we’re ready for anything. While we’re new to Rover, we’ve got plenty of off-the-record experience and can’t wait to officially join the community! Pet care fits naturally into our daily lives—one of us works from home full-time, so there's usually someone around for walks, cuddles, and attention throughout the day. The other works evenings and most weekends but is free during weekday mornings, which means we're flexible for pickups, drop-offs, and mid-morning strolls. We're also home most weekends, including holiday weekends. Between the two of us, your dog will get lots of love, attention, and care around the clock. When we board dogs in our home, we focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. We typically feed visiting pups separately just to avoid any tummy troubles or food-related tension. We're happy to follow your preferences when it comes to sleeping arrangements; Poppy usually snoozes in bed with us or on the couch downstairs, so we’re flexible depending on what makes your dog feel at home. We’re generally homebodies who love cozy evenings with our dog, but Poppy is also an adventurer—she is a regular at Patterson Park, Checkerspot Brewery, Ovenbird Bakery, and occasionally Downs Dog Beach or nearby hikes. If your pup enjoys outings, we'd love to bring them along—but if they prefer a more relaxed pace, we’re just as happy snuggling up on the couch.

“Amanda is amazing 5atars Great communication Responded Within minutes of my inquiry . Responded with professionalism and was personable. Very sweet and easy to talk too. Gave me great updates on the walk. She handled my Belgian malinoise that's overweight about 150lbs. In addition so working with my other dog thatnis very timid - both were very responsive to her and trusted her. I would hire her again in the heartbeat. She has a very sweet and trusting demeanor.”
“So happy Julie was available to walk our pups. We look forward to booking with her again. She sent a photo of the pups and texted me before and after the walks. We Highly recommend Julie.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for about six years and have experience with dogs, cats, and other pets.

“Sidney did great with handling our dogs and cat through our "getting to know you" visits that we set up, and we agreed the last walk was not needed prior to the longer pet sitting, so "review" saying a dog walk was cancelled is not a negative on Sidney, just not necessary but she didn't cancel it electronically soon enough. She did a great job with the pets and will be happy to arrange for her to sit them again on future occasions.”
“Desiree is such a great walker! She was available for Blueberry more than once in a pinch and leaves great updates that make us feel like our pup is truly being cared for. Thank you Desiree!”
About: I have worked at an animal hospital for 5 years total where I learned how to train dogs from Kathy Sadao who used to train the wales to relinquish the bombs for the Navy. I have owned large and XL breed dogs my whole life as well. I will treat your dog like a human child as they will be allowed on my furniture, my bed, and probably my kids beds as well. I have a little over 10 acres for them to play on. We are starting a small farm style residents and would love to shower your fur babies with love and attention. Since starting Rover, 90% of my clients are returning, and become part of our family as well. I have trained people’s dogs in the time I have had them along with help manage dogs anxiety’s to different things. I helped a water aggressive dog become no longer water aggressive. A dog who pulled on a leash so hard you couldn’t walk him to now, my 6 year old son walks him with no worries. As much as my family loves to play with and cuddle your 4 legged babies we also love to help you out by training them if we can. I have plenty of time for all pet care needs to be met. I am a stay at home mom, but all my kids now go to school so your fur babies will have all my attention most of the time during the week. I have a fenced yard, very safe neighborhood, loving high energetic family, big house, 10 acres, and I have worked at an animal hospital in the past I can tell if something is wrong with your dog. If you would like I love sending pictures and videos as well.
About: Juggling full-time studies and dedicated dog mom duties to German Shepard Stryker and rescue Doberman Luna. I’ve been raised with dogs and cats since childhood. As the go-to for family and friends in need of pet sitting, my reputation stands strong. I tend to spoil all the fur babies. Experienced with various breeds, adept at overcoming training and behavioral challenges. Your fur babies aren't just pets; they're family. Trust me to provide not just a service but a personalized, loving experience for your cherished family members. Your peace of mind, their wagging adventures. FYI the reason my rates are higher than expected is Rover takes out a big chunk. I have recently taken on an apprentice to take over my overflow of clients. If I’m unavailable for the dates you need, please message me and I can ask if she’s available. It’ll be at the same price rate, until she raises her rates. She really is great! Because of gas prices and time, travel outside of 10 mile/20 minute radius from home/Yelm will be charged travel cost per visit/day. As a dog mom myself, I understand the concern of leaving pets alone while at work. Offering dog walks, potty break, and house sitting in Thurston County and surrounding areas. My schedule is open all week Sunday-Saturday depending on availability. Reach out to schedule a meet and greet! I will not be offering stays at my house, but I can do house sitting. For house sitting please message me what dates/time you’re needing. I have made exceptions for last minute bookings when I’m available. At our meet and greet I’ll ask what their normal routines are and all their likes and dislikes. Please be aware that I may need to leave once a day during the weekdays my spouse works to let my doggo out, and possibly my regular drop ins depending when scheduled. To keep those away times at minimum please book far in advance so I can decline any extra clients. At my home our routine is; wake up, morning potty, enjoy a human-grade breakfast, another potty break, nap in mom's office. Playtime kicks in around noon, followed by post-lunch potty and another nap. We then join mom in her office, demanding attention, before yet another nap until the next break. Potty, Dinner, and Cuddles. Then one last potty before bed. We’re kinda couch potatoes in our home.
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for pets, I’ve been someone that my friends, family, and roommates can call when they need someone reliable to look after their animals. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all types like young, old, high energy, low maintenance, anxious, and affectionate. I’m comfortable handling everything from the basics like feeding, walks, and playtime to more involved care like medication, crate training, and senior routines. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals they tend to trust me quickly, and I take that seriously. I approach each pet with patience, respect, and a steady presence. Whether your dog needs a running buddy or your older cat just wants a quiet companion while you’re away, I’ll meet them where they’re at. I understand how important it is to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress free. I treat every animal like they’re my own with attention, care, and a commitment to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a Social Work student at Evergreen State College, I take online classes, which gives me a flexible schedule to focus on caring for pets. Outside of class, I dedicate my time to walking dogs, house sitting, and caring for pets while their families are away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and it fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m reliable, communicative, and available throughout the day for check-ins, playtime, walks, and overnight stays. When im taking care of your pet, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions closely to keep routines consistent, whether that means specific feeding times, crate use, medications, or special accommodations. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and mindful of your pet’s boundaries.
“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”
About: Hi! I’m Paula, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up helping care for animals on my family’s farm in Colombia and later gained experience working in a veterinary clinic, which taught me how to safely handle animals, recognize when something isn’t quite right, and provide attentive care for pets with different needs and personalities. Today, I share my life with dogs of my own and understand how important it is to find someone you trust when you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a quiet companion to stick to their routine, I adjust my care to fit what makes them happiest and most comfortable. I have experience with: • Puppies and high-energy dogs • Senior pets • Large breed dogs • Administering medications • Multi-pet households • Shy or anxious animals When I’m caring for your pet, communication is a priority. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is simple: I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care for pets throughout the day. While I have a few work responsibilities that only require a couple of hours here and there, they don’t interfere with my ability to prioritize pet care. Additionally, while I do have dogs of my own, they are a shared responsibility within my household, meaning their care does not take away from my ability to fully focus on the pets I’m sitting. This flexibility allows me to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and any special care needs without interruptions. Whether it’s an overnight stay, multiple visits a day, or drop-in check-ins, I ensure that pets stay on their normal routine and receive the attention they need while their owners are away. My priority is to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide pet sitting exclusively in my client’s home, allowing pets to remain in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and maintain their routine. When caring for pets, I follow their specific schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any other special needs they may have. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day, adjusting my care to match their personality—whether they need extra playtime, gentle reassurance, or space to relax. Additionally, I respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring a tidy environment while they’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are well cared for.
About: As an experienced dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by truly understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have a natural ability to read their body language and adapt to their moods, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medications, following specific dietary plans, or providing enriching playtime and walks, I tailor my approach to each dog’s routine. My calm and attentive demeanor helps even the most anxious dogs feel at ease, and I maintain clear communication with pet owners for peace of mind. Having cared for my own senior Pomeranian, Zeus, until he was 14, I am particularly attuned to the special needs of older dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for their comfort. I currently have an year and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever named cooper, so well experienced with puppies I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to be there consistently. I love getting outside for walks and making sure dogs stay mentally and physically happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments, including senior dogs and puppies. I always keep a close eye during walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.

“I am not one to bother leaving recommendations & I wanted to see if my experience would serve the test of time before I did. I have used Rachel on 3 occasions so far, from a few days up to two weeks at a time. For context, I have a 10# poodle & I have never let my dog spend the night anywhere before except with a couple close friends. I was apprehensive to try this service, but ran out of options one time when I had to fly out in an emergency. Now, this is my go to place. Rachel has a great place with fenced acreage, a couple school age children who are respectful with dogs. At times there are other dogs that she cares for at the same time, so it would be helpful if your dog is socialized well & then they have “friends” to play with. I couldn’t ask for anything better with Rachel’s service. My dog has to take meds & she is competent with all of that as well. She sends pics of your dog to you periodically if you’d like while you’re away to reassure you everything is great. She communicates well & asks questions if needed. If you are unable to take your dog with you, I would highly recommend Rachel & her service on Rover.com with anyone.”
“My girls loved staying here! The family was so kind to them and took excellent care of them! It is a challenge to find care for a special needs pet, but Amanda went the extra mile for our little ones!”
“This was my first time leaving my fur baby alone for more than a night since I got her, and Skylar took such great care of her while I was away!! My pup had so much fun she didn’t want to leave! Skylar is amazing and I would recommend!! ❤️”
“Marlena and her family were loving, caring, and communicative during my dogs stay. They sent lots of photos, handled his food aggression with other dogs perfectly, and even helped with training during his stay! He stayed over the holidays so they let him open his presents as well. They truly love and care for animals and have training and experience to do so. I would highly recommend them!”
“Darby asked all the right questions when we met up with her for the first time. We knew after talking with her that she would be a good fit. Turns out she was better than we hoped for. She sent us updates and pictures. We could tell our girls were very comfortable with her. We definitely will use Darby again in the future. Thank you again Darby.”
About: I can't remember a time growing up or much of my adult life that I have not had a dog, or cat, or both. I'm famous for bringing home strays of all kinds....turtles and rabbits to name a couple. Being with animals makes me happy and brings a content and fulfillment that only a furry friend can give. Your bundle of joy will receive an abundance of love and affection and as much play as they want! I am a laid back fur mom so if your pets are allowed on the furniture at home, that's okay by me. You'll find my cats and dog usually on the couch right next to me, and of course taking up most of the bed at night. I wouldn't have it any other way. And yes, I have regular conversations with my animals and I'm quite certain they understand everything I say, lol! Aside from loving my fur babies, I also volunteer at a local shelter. I would love a chance to meet your fur baby. Their paws are in good hands when they're with me! I am currently a stay at home wife enjoying this amazing opportunity to meet and care for so many awesome animals. I am truly blessed! I have a fenced yard and fur babies for yours to play with. If they'd rather play solo we can accomodate that as well. Or if you prefer, I can crate your four legged friends. I am here to make sure your furry loved ones are happy, safe, and healthy. I will do my absolute best to provide for any special requests or needs. Please ask!
“John was fabulous and took lovely care of our dog. Pictures and updates were appreciated. He let us know how she was becoming comfortable at his home and she loved the daily walks.”
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals my entire life growing up on a farm. I have been a Licensed Veterinary Technician for 24 years. I work part-time remotely and part-time in a vet clinic. I am looking to supplement my income while still working my current part-time jobs. I work Monday through Wednesday remotely. Then I'm working Thursday and Friday in a Veterinary Hospital. I'm mostly available Friday night through early Thursday morning. I have 4 dogs, 2 outdoor cats, 2 horses, and 15 chickens. I can easily separate dogs as needed with a secure large backyard. Our entire property is 5 acres completely fenced and cross fenced. My husband can easily take care of our animals if I'm away from the house.
“Margaret was a great sitter for our dog Xena. She was responsive, polite, and provided regular updates during Xena's boarding. Xena typically takes a bit to get comfortable, but was quick to integrate with Margaret's dog Mochi. They quickly became best friends and she was clearly enjoying her stay. Thanks Margaret!”
“This is our second time with Sheena and she continues to amaze us with her level of care! This time Koko stayed for two weeks, and I received a message update with photos/videos on Koko's wellbeing at least once a day. Sheena and her family continue to show Koko patience and love with her many quirks and ensures Koko is comfortable as well. I very much recommend trusting Sheena with your dog-sitting needs!”
“Lisa was fantastic! Her communication was great well she had our dog over thanksgiving week and we were able to relax and enjoy family on our trip knowing that our Cierra was being well taken care of.. we will definitely use Lisa again!”
“Bobbi was amazing with our two dogs when we were out of town for a week! She took them out multiple times a day on walks and had several other dogs around to play with them and keep them busy. She sent pictures/videos everyday and they always looked so happy and well taken care of! Will 100% use again if we go out of town! Best Rover experience we’ve had!”
“Kristine is awesome, got stuck in a snow storm traveling back. Kristine was very understanding. I’m very grateful I could leave my mooch with someone so wonderful. He enjoyed his stay!”
“Makaila did a great job taking care of our little Olive. She communicated with us every day and sent photos. Her dog, Sailor, is very sweet and will get along with any dog. We highly recommend Makaila.”
“Great stay! We started with a meet/greet. Great drop off with pictures and videos throughout the time, she was in care. My Bella was happy, she was safe and had a good time.”
