“Our dog stayed 4 nights at Diahann’s. Diahann and her family welcomed our very high energy 3-year old 15-lbs male Havanese. We got our little “hairball” during the pandemic and he is not used to people other than our family. It takes a long time for him to warm up to someone he does not know but Diahann and her family patiently let him settle in slowly until he let his guard down and become more comfortable in an unfamiliar environment. I recommend them. Thanks again Diahann and family!”
“Nikkole was a wonderful sitter to my 2 mini dachshunds. She has a large fenced yard where they loved to play when they were outdoors and a comfy couch where my girls loved to lounge with her. Nikkole is easy to talk to and she sent daily photos and updates and was quick to respond to questions. I’m very grateful to be able to trust her with my little ones and will definitely use her again when the time comes. Thanks Nikkole!”
“I am blown away with how wonderful Sheena and Adam are. From the moment you meet them to the moment you pick up your fur baby was an experience in itself. The amount of love, care and affection they have is honestly unmatched. My pup Olive stayed for the first time on a weekend trip, I was provided detailed updates, countless photos and confirmation that my little fur baby was being taken care of at the highest standard. I truly can’t express my gratitude for how amazing they are. I HIGHLY recommend Sheena and Adam and will absolutely be using their services again in the near future!”
“First time using rover and found Noelle to be a great fit for our 2 bigger dogs. She has years of experience with animals and it shows in her attention to detail and the level of care she provided. We got updates with pictures and videos all through their stay. She took them on walks, they got a chance to play with her own dogs. They came back to us happy and worn out! We will definitely use Noelle again!”
“Roger and his family took care of our dog Nala. Keep us regularly updated and assured that she is cared for and loved and definitely gave us a peace of mind while we’re away. Thank you again and will definitely go to them again.”
“Katrina and her family took our last minute booking request and were excellent sitters! Lots of picture and updates made us feel assured that our pup was in the best hands. Highly recommend!! Will absolutely request Katrina again if needed.”
“Ashleigh took amazing care of our frenchie and sent lots of updates during his stay.She accommodated us for a last minute stay and sent us home with a happy and tired pup. 🥰 THANK YOU”
“Our dog Murphy always loves Marlena’s house. Treated like part of the family, she gives her lots of cuddles, treats and outdoor time. She’s often home and spends time making sure all the dogs play well together.”
“Our first time using Kristine was wonderful! My doggie has anxiety and she took wonderful care of her. She sent several pics of her playing and snuggling while I was gone. When I picked her up she was happy and went back to Kristine for pets even though I was there. I will definitely use her again!”
“I’m so thankful for Ingrid. She took care of my two boys with patience and understanding, working with me to make them as comfortable as possible. She handled their anxious moments with calm and kindness, and her daily updates gave me total peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I couldn’t recommend her more for anyone looking for a patient, caring, and reliable sitter!”
“Anna and her family took care of our baby Zeus. They were able to provided pictures and videos every day, so we didn't have to worry if he was being loved. I 100% would recommend it to anyone who wants their little fur baby to be loved and cared for.”
“This was my first time using Kathie to Rover sit as I just moved to the area. She did a fantastic job putting my mind at ease leaving my mini golden doodle with her. She was communicative, sent updates and photos and when I picked him up he was in great spirits and looked to have had a wonderful time. I can’t say enough how much it meant knowing he was at Kathies and in good hands. We are excited to know she will have us back!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Olive had such a great time during her stay and was so well cared for. It was obvious she got plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime. She especially loved playing with their dog and made a new best friend! On the drive home, Olive was completely worn out from all the fun she had, she slept the entire way and was one happy pup. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such great hands. We would absolutely trust them with Olive again and highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable to watch their dog!”
“Our dog Princess was well taken care of. They listened to our concerns, our suggestions, and what works best for our dog. Princess came home so happy. We will definitely be taking her back and are thankful to them for treating our dog as one of their own.”
“Dana did an absolutely amazing job watching my fur baby!! He had such a great time and Dana made sure to send me pictures and videos throughout his entire stay! I could not have asked for a better doggie sitter while we were on vacation!!”
“Laurin was amazing. She was able to watch my dog on a last minute booking for a holiday weekend. It was his first time ever being cared for by someone other than friends and family and Laurin made sure that he was well taken care of and sent regular updates, he seemed to be right at home in her care. Plus her bulldog Bella, is extremely cute and friendly. I definitely plan to use her again and recommend her.”

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I grew up with two family dogs for 18 years, and caring for pets has just always come naturally to me. I also foster dogs, cats, and small critters, so I have experience with pets of all personalities, ages, and needs Pet care fits so naturally into my day because I genuinely love having animals around me. My schedule is super flexible. I’m in part-time school and work part-time so I have plenty of time. When pets are in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I keep a close eye on them at all times making sure they’re safely leashed outside, supervised during playtime, and always comfortable. I follow whatever routines they’re used to, like feeding schedules, crate time, or potty breaks, so they feel calm and at home. There’s always lots of love, attention, and gentle structure to keep them happy and safe. When I’m caring for pets in someone else’s home, respect is everything to me. I treat your space the same way I’d want mine treated clean, careful, and mindful of your rules. Whether I’m staying overnight or just stopping by for a walk, I make sure your pet gets all the care they need while also keeping your home tidy, secure, and exactly how you left it. I’m very routine friendly, so I happily follow your pet’s normal schedule, house rules, and comfort needs.
“Jazmyne did a great job with my senior cat. He gets very nervous when his mama is gone, but knowing Jazmyne was there gave me great comfort. She gave me daily updates and sent pictures, so I knew how my boy was doing each day I was away. She followed my directions to a tee, and kept me informed when anything seemed out of the ordinary. As a bonus, my house was spotless when I arrived home, which was SO nice to come back to after being gone for an extended weekend. Don’t hesitate to book with Jazmyne; she is very conscientious, and clearly loves the animals she cares for as if they were her own.”

I work from home so my full attention will be for your furry family members. Playtime and quiet time will be essential for their care. I will provide a structured agenda that includes playtime, mental stimulation and quiet time. I also can provide any treats and medication to your fur baby.
About: My genuine love for animals and a diverse range of hands-on learning experiences has made me into a well-rounded individual to care for your pup! I've spent my entire life alongside dogs, both big and small, and have always considered them as family members. I've been fortunate enough to be involved in the upbringing of multiple litters of puppies, which helped me understand the level of dedication required to ensure their healthy development. Volunteering at an animal shelter exposed me to a wide range of animal personalities and needs. It gave me valuable insights into the importance of patience, compassion, and adaptability when caring for pets, especially those in transitional or challenging situations. During this time, I administered medication and assisted with vaccines as well. I also have a history of caring for high-maintenance breeds which honed my abilities in grooming, nutrition, exercise, and healthcare tailored to their specific requirements. I am currently studying from home full time while also occasionally accepting shifts as a substitute teacher at a local elementary school. This offers considerable flexibility in my schedule for pet care services for your pup! This means that I can easily adjust my daily routine to cater to the specific requirements of your furry companion. Whether your pup needs a jog through the park, some companionship while you're away, or even a bit of extra TLC, my schedule is designed to be adaptable and responsive to your pet's well-being. I provide customized care routines, taking the time to understand your pet's specific needs and routines within your home. Whether it's feeding, exercise, or playtime, I tailor my care to match what your pet is accustomed to. This ensures a smooth transition while you're away. Being an active individual, my goal is to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated, and I adapt activities to suit each pet's unique needs and energy levels. Whether it's fetch, tug-of-war, or simply cuddling on the couch, I'm flexible and adapt to their preferences. Communication is paramount to me. I maintain open lines of contact with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos to keep them informed and reassured. In addition to attentive care, I prioritize cleanliness and organization. I take care of household tasks related to your pet's care and keeping their living area well-maintained. I will also accommodate special requests or specific care routines. Whether it's senior pet care, administering medications, or any other specific needs, I am committed to meeting them. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I'm here to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and healthy during your absence.

About: I've taken care of many of my friends pets, dogs and cats when they are away. I absolutely love doing it! Pets are part of the family! I am currently working part time doing instacart so I am on the road and can stop whenever I need to let them out or take them on a walk.

So they feel comfortable and safe in there own space.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I grew up with two family dogs for 18 years, and caring for pets has just always come naturally to me. I also foster dogs, cats, and small critters, so I have experience with pets of all personalities, ages, and needs Pet care fits so naturally into my day because I genuinely love having animals around me.

I have a fenced in yard and can have my fur baby separate to make everyone comfortable. I follow the instructions of the pet parents and that’s just it. Plain and simple.

“Shyanne, agreed to walk Aithusa the night before after another walker canceled due to illness. She sent pictures and route of thier walk and communicated when needing to adjust the time of one of his walks. Aithusa was happy when I returned home from work. I think thier walks helped him not miss his mom, who's away.”
About: I’ve always dabbled in pet sitting for the fun of traveling and meeting new breeds. Now that I’m semi - retired, I've discovered a new joy in providing care without the pressure of outside responsibilities. Having nowhere else to be means I can spend hours with your pets, letting them set the pace on our walks, and offering endless cuddles, allowing me to form trusted connections with every animal I watch. It is not that pet care fits into my life as much as pet care IS my life. It is breakfast, walk or read (depending on the species), groom, pet, games, naps, then dinner and repeat until bedtime. In follow the outline provided by the pet parent to work through the pet’s familiar daily routine. For dogs, I emphasize exercise and with cats, I emphasize stillness. For both, we find a compromise 😂
About: I have been working professionally in various sectors of the pet industry since 2018. I have experience in veterinary medicine, pet retail as a nutrition specialist, and as a dog trainer specializing in reactivity and behavior modification. I work on the weekends at a pet vaccine clinic, but I am home during the week and my husband is home on the weekends. With advance notice I can take weekends off to be with your pets, or my husband can conduct drop in visits for you during the day! I have three friendly dogs and two dog-friendly cats! I am able to board one dog at a time. I am comfortable with walking dogs on every type of equipment on the market, from harnesses to head halters to all kinds of training collars.
About: Hi! I’m Jen — a lifelong animal lover with over 4 years of hands-on experience working at an animal shelter, plus many additional months caring for dogs and other animals on a small farm property. If there’s one thing I truly understand, it’s dogs. Especially the shy, anxious, and misunderstood ones. They hold a very special place in my heart! There is no greater feeling than earning the trust of a dog who needs a little extra patience and understanding. At the shelter I worked with every type of dog imaginable, from easygoing family pups to dogs with more complex needs due to past trauma. I was trusted to walk and handle even the more anxious or sensitive dogs, helping them build confidence and learn to trust new people. I’m very comfortable reading dog body language and adjusting my approach so each dog feels safe, respected, and understood. One of the dogs I worked closely with, Donald, needed a trusted handler present while new volunteers learned how to walk him safely, and I helped train others so he could get the exercise and enrichment he deserved. I also helped start enrichment initiatives at the shelter, including treat puzzles, mental stimulation games, and a “dog play buddy” program to give the dogs additional socialization and activity. One of my most special experiences there was helping care for a mama dog who gave birth to a litter of 10 (10!) puppies. I helped care for and socialize those puppies as they grew until they were ready for their forever homes. I also have experience caring for senior animals and understand that older pets often need a little extra patience, gentleness, and attention to their comfort and routine. Beyond dogs, I also have experience caring for cats and bunnies. Over the past few months I’ve helped care for my landlady’s 1yo kitty, and I’m very comfortable providing drop-in care and pet sitting for cats and small animals as well. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting/boarding and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, comfort level, and body language so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: every animal I care for should feel safe, so very loved, and understood. Pet care is my primary focus, so my daily routine is built around providing consistent, hands-on care. I structure my day to include regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, exercise, enrichment, and downtime, depending on each pet’s needs. I’m home for the majority of the day, which allows me to provide a high level of supervision and attention. Pets are rarely left alone for extended periods, and I’m able to adjust my schedule to support different energy levels, routines, and personalities. Whether a dog needs more activity and engagement or a calm, low-stress environment, I’m able to tailor my day to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I care for every pet based on who they are — not just a one-size-fits-all routine. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and comfort cues so pets feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for. In my home, dogs stay on a fully fenced 10-acre farm property where they can safely explore, play, and decompress. All outdoor time is supervised, and I’m intentional about creating a balanced environment — active play for dogs who love it, and plenty of quiet downtime for those who don’t. I have a friendly Mini Goldendoodle and a very mellow senior pup in the home, and I take introductions slowly and thoughtfully. I’m always prepared to separate or crate dogs if needed to keep everyone comfortable and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to your routines and preferences so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I keep things calm, consistent, and predictable, which is especially important for anxious or sensitive animals. I’m very comfortable with a wide range of personalities, including dogs who need a little extra patience or structure, and I pride myself on creating an environment where pets can relax and just be themselves.
About: I've worked at an animal hospital. I've worked at animal rescues. I love pets all animals. They are what makes life worth living. I take care of animals as if they were my own children. I watch my own pets daily. If I were to watch your pet they would be well taken care of and make sure thier needs are met. For boarding at my home I have a huge space/room for your pet to stay. I have a fully fenced yard in back/front. Enough room for running around and playing. A separate room space indoor huge. Although our pets are friendly I would never have our pets around your dog while staying. They will be separated and taken out in the yard separately. For boarding at your home I would do anything your pet wanted run/walk/play/feed. I just have a baby so I can't stay the night. But I would visit morning and night. If I am able to book your pet I would make sure their needs are met and taken care of first and foremost. I would feed, play, and cuddle. In my home your pet would have a spacious environment. We have a big space for the pet to have their own room and privacy. We have a fully fenced yard for roaming and running. Your pet would be absolutely happy here. If I were to sit at your home I would make sure the pet is comfortable. I would obviously feed them to your preferences. I would take them in the back yard or walk. Overall I would make it feel like the owner never left as much as I could
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals since I was little. I have one myself 🐾 & I love her so so much!! She’s a 4 yr old Pom 🤍 I work part-time. Available weekends anytime :) I can make an exception during the weekday in the afternoon. I love to help you with your baby! I have friendly little Pom who loves to meet new friends. & a family who loves animals as well! Pets are like family too! Xoxo
About: I’ve taken care of many pets for my family over the years, currently I’m helping my aunt with her high-energy border collie/german shepherd mix. I love taking dogs for walks, playing fetch, roughhousing with them, anything to get that energy out! I’m in between jobs right now and I’m looking to start college later in the fall. My schedule is very flexible and I have lots of free time. I’m good at following verbal/written instructions regarding boundaries within your home, as well as specific instructions about your pets needs. I’ll always ask the owner if I’m unsure about something.
About: What sets me apart is 10 years of hands on animal care driven by a deep love for animals. I am not just a sitter, I am someone who truly loves being with them. I have experience training energetic puppies with patience and positive reinforcement and providing gentle, attentive care for seniors who need slower walks, joint support and medication if required. I believe great care is in the details, so I make sure every animal is fed on schedule, always has fresh water, gets plenty of exercise and has real playtime and affection. You will get updates, photos and peace of mind knowing your best friend is safe, happy and loved. Pet care is the center of my daily and weekly routine right now. I currently have an open and flexible schedule and I am dedicating this summer to helping families with reliable dog walks and boarding. That means I am available for early mornings, midday walks, evenings, weekends and last minute needs. On a typical day my routine is built around the dogs in my care with walks, feeding on schedule, fresh water, exercise, playtime and lots of attention. I love animals and i’m looking forward to giving your animals my full focus and care! Nice sized, clean home with hardwood floors, AC/heat, and no other pets or people so your pet gets full 1-on-1 attention. No fenced yard so all outdoor time is supervised and on-leash with potty breaks every 2-3 hours plus daily walks. I follow your routine exactly and send lots of photo updates. In your home, I stick to their schedule, keep things tidy, and treat your space with respect.
About: With years of experience in dog care including breeding and pet sitting many different breeds such as; Labs, Pit bulls, German Shepards, Dachshunds, and Corgis for our friends and family, I have developed a deep understanding of differentiating canine needs. Above all, I believe in patience and consistency, ensuring that each dog feels cared for whether they’re with me for a short period or a long stay. I only work 3 days a week and have a very flexible schedule which would make it easy for me to care for other dogs. I also have a very helpful partner I live with who also loves animals. I have a fully fenced yard with two very friendly corgis. Our spacious yard provides plenty of room for dogs to run, play, and explore safely. We have a doggy door so they have easy access to get in and out. We live in a very safe neighborhood with lots of pet friendly trails.
About: Hello! I provide reliable, loving care and treat every pet like family. I’m experienced with a variety of needs, including feeding routines, exercise, and caring for both young and senior pets with patience and attention. I am available Sunday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for animal walks and drop-in visits. I'm here to help make your day a little easier while providing your pets with the care and attention they deserve. I will come to your home to care for your pet, including playtime, feeding, and walks. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I love dogs & have grown up with them my whole life! I have watched several family members pets before and I always enjoy myself! I am a college student who would love some extra money!! I am pretty flexible on times of the day & I am available every day of the week! At home I have lots of acreage for my dog to roam. She is a family dog who is always with us and rarely ever needs to be crated.

“Nikkole was a wonderful sitter to my 2 mini dachshunds. She has a large fenced yard where they loved to play when they were outdoors and a comfy couch where my girls loved to lounge with her. Nikkole is easy to talk to and she sent daily photos and updates and was quick to respond to questions. I’m very grateful to be able to trust her with my little ones and will definitely use her again when the time comes. Thanks Nikkole!”
“I am blown away with how wonderful Sheena and Adam are. From the moment you meet them to the moment you pick up your fur baby was an experience in itself. The amount of love, care and affection they have is honestly unmatched. My pup Olive stayed for the first time on a weekend trip, I was provided detailed updates, countless photos and confirmation that my little fur baby was being taken care of at the highest standard. I truly can’t express my gratitude for how amazing they are. I HIGHLY recommend Sheena and Adam and will absolutely be using their services again in the near future!”
“First time using rover and found Noelle to be a great fit for our 2 bigger dogs. She has years of experience with animals and it shows in her attention to detail and the level of care she provided. We got updates with pictures and videos all through their stay. She took them on walks, they got a chance to play with her own dogs. They came back to us happy and worn out! We will definitely use Noelle again!”
“Roger and his family took care of our dog Nala. Keep us regularly updated and assured that she is cared for and loved and definitely gave us a peace of mind while we’re away. Thank you again and will definitely go to them again.”

“Our first time using Kristine was wonderful! My doggie has anxiety and she took wonderful care of her. She sent several pics of her playing and snuggling while I was gone. When I picked her up she was happy and went back to Kristine for pets even though I was there. I will definitely use her again!”

“Laurin was amazing. She was able to watch my dog on a last minute booking for a holiday weekend. It was his first time ever being cared for by someone other than friends and family and Laurin made sure that he was well taken care of and sent regular updates, he seemed to be right at home in her care. Plus her bulldog Bella, is extremely cute and friendly. I definitely plan to use her again and recommend her.”

“Sally was Amazing! She kept us informed with photos of Gracie a few times daily. We didn’t arrive until around 9 pm to pick her up and saw Sally giving her a walk. This was our first time using a pet sitter, so we were very nervous, but Sally exceeding our every expectation. I highly recommend Sally!”
“Amazing all around. Great communication, and provided pictures and updates consistently through our dogs stay. Tiffany and her family really loved watching our dogs. Glad to find a great sitter in the area!”
“I cannot express the amount of detail and love that he puts into caring for our dogs. We've done everything you can imagine: dog boarding, PetSmart, friends and family but we've never had such an amazing experience with George and his lovely family. Our dogs were welcomed with such open arms while checking in with us to see how they are doing. The care they received was above and beyond and I couldn't be happier to make him out exclusive dog sitter :)”
“McKenzie was so great! She cared for our dog so well. Our dog has anxiety and is very timid in new situations and she made him feel right at home. She sends updates and photos every day. Definitely will recommend her and have her dog sit for us again!”
