“Heather has the biggest wonderfullest grounds for dogs to run around and smell. My Odie takes for ever to get worn out, but that goal was totally met with Heather. He looked so peaceful and content. Thank you!”
About: I've worked with my older sibling at her various animal care jobs since I was 12. I've had pets of all sorts since 4 and if you need me to do anything I most likely am able to do it. I have some vet assistant experience behind my back too. I'm currently available at any time, I dont have constant transportation so if your farther away i may need time to schedule transportation and such. I have another dog who is the sweetest thing, I can bathe, pill, groom, trim and crate all dogs. Ask me anything and I will do it to the best of my ability.
“Stephanie is an amazing animal care taker! She completely spoiled Kula, my Labrador Mix. Kula made herself at home and comfortable. She stayed in constant contact with video and picture updates. She asked me if Kula was allowed on couches and beds. I agreed to making that exception since we were out and just wanted her happy and not lonely. Kula totally fell in love with Stephanie (as did my 4 year old human. Thank you so very very much Stephanie! I truly recommend her for anyone's first time or any animal you need to be in good care! Will ask Stephanie again to babysit for future dog boarding!”
About: I’ve owned a dog my entire adulthood, my miniature schnauzer that we rescued lived to be 15 & we had her 12 of those years. My current dog is a certified therapy dog that works with me. I did the training with her. I have a lot of flexibility with my work schedule & being home. If I’m at work my spouse is home. So one of us are usually home at all times. We have a friendly poodle mix & an enclosed/fenced in yard with a privacy fence. They will have free range of the house & frequent outdoor breaks for exercise. :)
“Kelsey was awesome. She updated me with pictures of my puppy every day. She was very understanding and patient. This was my first experience using rover and I felt safe. 10/10 recommend.”
“Joni was lovely! She helped me out when I needed an extended stay for my dog. My Momo is anxious about being away from me but upon arriving he was immediately comfortable. I could tell he was well cared for while I was gone and will certainly book with Joni again.”
“Dana was great! I needed a sitter at the last second and she was able to watch Colbie with no problem. She sent lots of pictures of her during her stay, and treated her just like one of her own dogs. I could tell that Colbie received lots of love and attention and was very happy. She got fresh chicken mixed with her food for dinner every night, and was even allowed to bring her favorite toy home with her. I will definitely be booking with Dana again in the future!”
“Hailey was very good with our husky pup. She kept our puppy at her house for 6-days while we were on vacation. She communicated very well and sent pictures throughout our pups stay. It was nice to have a safe place for our pup to stay while we were on vacation. We will definitely being using Hailey again in the future!”
“I am so happy I chose Lisa to watch my two 3 1/2 month old kittens! Both of my kittens were on medicine they had to receive every 12 hours and she had no issues administering them, even with my skittish boy that was receiving a liquid antibiotic through a syringe. She gave me plenty of updates (through photos, texts and video) and if she wasn't sure of anything she messaged me to confirm first. A+. I will definitely be coming back to her in the future! 😊”
“When I had to leave a special needs dog to take a quick business trip, Ashley’s skills and background really stood out. I was able to get away while knowing that my dog was safe and loved. The entire family went above and beyond to make sure that he felt that way too!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels since I was young. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving medications if needed. I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I make sure I never overbook myself so every dog gets the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it in my weekly routine and stay consistent with walks, feedings, and playtime. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, whether I’m in my client’s home or mine. I stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep their space clean, safe, and calm, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send updates so you always know your pet is doing well.
About: I’ve been helping friends and family take care of their animals while they are away since I was a kid. I love babysitting furry friends. I work certain days of the week at another job really early in the mourning and home by 1130 am. I’m a very quiet shy person but I love animals. I work certain days early in the mourning and I’m home by 11:30 a.m. I need a 4 day in advance booking. I love animals so I wanted a job to where I can work them. I spoil every animal I come across. Everyone will be fed. I have treats, toys, leashes, a special dog monitor for if I do have an overnight on a day I have to work. I do have an extra crate if you feel your dog needs crated. If your animal requires special treatment such as medication I will need something written out for that such as name of medication time taken etc. I care for every animal as if they were my own. Their health and safety is my main priority at all times.

“Laken did a wonderful job of caring for our cats.They are 11 months old and the girl Buttercup is very shy. Laken spent a lot of time down on the floor playing with them and showing them affection. She also kept the cat areas very clean, sweeping litter, scooping, and washing cat food cans before throwing them away. I returned to happy cats and an immaculate house. I am happy to travel again and will definitely call Laken to provide care.”
“Molly did a wonderful job watching our kitties while we were away! All of our kitties were played with and given a lot of attention. Our birds even got fed outside so the cats had their kitty tv! Our cats were happy when we got home! Our litter boxes were even nice and clean. She even fed our fish in the fish tank! Our doorknob fell off for our front door and her husband came by to fix it! Molly took wonderful care of our pets and I know we will book her again when we travel! Thank you for watching our cats! 😃”
About: I will treat your family like my own! I grew up taking care of multiple cats, and have a special place in my heart for them - any minute I get to spend with a cat is a minute well spent. I also have years of experience caring for the dogs of friends and family. As a teacher, my afternoons and evenings are especially free and open. I am also open to finding time in the early mornings (before 7am) if that is your preference! I treat every pet with the care, love, and time that they deserve, while respecting the wishes and preferences of them and their owners. If there is anything you'd like me (not) to do, just let me know!
“Waverly was great with our kids, even our fussy one. She won her over. She took great care of the kids and was great communicating with us before, during and after. We'll be sure to book her again. Thanks Waverly!”
“Cici provided food and water replenishing for our feline friend. Thank you, Cici! Cici was courteous and respectful in our home - focusing on cat care- although the cat didn’t show his face!”
“Deeanna and Bev are amazing. They come once a week while I am living in my new grandson and I feel more than comfortable having them come over and take care of my 2 kitties. They are true animal lovers and my cats totally enjoy their visits. They are kind, sweet and incredibly helpful. I couldn’t imagine anyone else helping me. I give they 25 stars. Much love from me and my kitties. 💜💜”
“Kristen came in clutch! We made a last-minute decision to extend our vacation and booked an Airbnb in the small town of Cadiz where sitter selection was sparse. Kristen responded to my request immediately and was willing to drive 30 minutes after work to take care of Bogey. The visit was flawless, she followed directions perfectly, and we returned to a happy dog. His bully looks were no issue for her either. I also appreciated the pics she sent. We felt comfortable leaving his care in her hands and would do so again. Maybe with more than 7 hours notice next time ?”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my family. Later in life, I became a cat mom. I currently have a Rottweiler and a torbie cat. These two are my world. I have delightfully cared for my friend’s and family’s dogs and cats… and a flying squirrel when needed. I love all animals and hope I can ease your mind caring for your babies while you are away from home. I am fully vaccinated for Covid. I promise to care for your babies as if they are my own. In my care, they will receive lots of love and maybe a little too much attention while following any guidelines you provide. We will spend time outdoors (weather permitting), walk, run, play and fetch to keep your loved ones stimulated mentally and physically. I am able to give medications, refresh food and water, clean litter boxes and other specifics as well. I love meeting dogs and cats of all personalities and can cater to animals who aren’t social. I hope you consider me to help care for your fur babies. I already can’t wait to hang out with them! Available every other Monday after 4:00 into the evening and all day Friday unless otherwise marked on my calendar. Please reach out if you are unsure about availability 🐶🐈 I have senior dog experience, can administer oral medications and can provide daily exercise. Please inform me of your dog or cat’s temperament so I can be sure to care for them appropriately. Please also provide emergency contact as well as vet information in case of an emergency.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds from rescues, seniors, puppies, and everything in between. I also have experience caring for cats and some smaller animals and reptiles. Feel free to ask me about your other pets and I’ll let you know honestly if I am able to provide care. I'd be a great fit if you're a detail-oriented or slightly worried/anxious pet parent who wants their routine followed to the letter, frequent updates, and someone who treats your home and family members with love and respect. Getting a routine right matters a lot to me. I ask lots of questions upfront and pay close attention to the small stuff: think feeding times, meds, favorite routes, comfort items, quirks, fears, or behaviors, because those details are what make a dog feel secure. I'd rather over-communicate than guess. I lived with and cared for a reactive dog for 13 years, so I know firsthand what it takes to help an anxious dog feel safe, and how to prevent conflict in the first place. All my dogs have been rescues, and I have a soft spot for dogs who need extra patience to warm up. I'm not a certified trainer, but I've spent years learning dog training, body language, and enrichment, and every interaction is rooted in positive reinforcement. I will require a meet and greet with your pet in advance of the first booking so they can become familiar with me, and so I can become familiar with their routine and needs. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to be present for your dog, whether that's extra walks, playtime, or just being around for company, and I'm happy to talk through what kind of availability works best for your pet! I work from home which allows me the flexibility to prioritize pet care in a way I wouldn’t be able to with a traditional office. This gives me the ability to keep anxious dogs company, breaks for play time, medication, cuddles or walks when they are needed, not when they can be fit in. I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or theirs, I work on building trust by moving at each pet’s pace and honoring their boundaries. Safety is always my top priority, I supervise pets closely, follow all instructions carefully, and adapt to their unique needs. I keep spaces clean, hazard-free, and ensure pets have fresh water, proper food, and quiet resting spots. For reactive or anxious pets, I use gentle, low stress handling & positive reinforcement or redirecting to help them feel calm and supported. Every care plan is tailored specifically to your pet’s needs after we discuss what works best for them.

“Heather has the biggest wonderfullest grounds for dogs to run around and smell. My Odie takes for ever to get worn out, but that goal was totally met with Heather. He looked so peaceful and content. Thank you!”
“Stephanie is an amazing animal care taker! She completely spoiled Kula, my Labrador Mix. Kula made herself at home and comfortable. She stayed in constant contact with video and picture updates. She asked me if Kula was allowed on couches and beds. I agreed to making that exception since we were out and just wanted her happy and not lonely. Kula totally fell in love with Stephanie (as did my 4 year old human. Thank you so very very much Stephanie! I truly recommend her for anyone's first time or any animal you need to be in good care! Will ask Stephanie again to babysit for future dog boarding!”

About: My name is Kelly, I am 27 years YOUNG! I am a full time Criminal Justice college student attending Purdue Global University online. If it weren’t for Covid-19, I’d still be working as a Correctional Officer. I’m married to my best friend who has given me the best gift of all, a stepdaughter who is 8 years old. I have loved animals ever since I learned to walk. My parents never believed in buying animals, they believed in adopting the ones who didn’t have a home. I carried that with me growing up and became the go to for my neighborhood if they seen a stray animal. Call Kelly, they’d say. No challenge is too big with animals. I’ve been around plenty of new animals that didn’t like many people, including myself but I believe patience is key. We have baby steps to get to our goals and I believe the same for animals, you take baby steps and earn their trust and the rest will come. We have one dog, he is a cocker spaniel. His name is Charlie and he is about 6 years old. I’ve had him since he was just 7 weeks old, he is my whole world and the love/bond we share is undeniable and unbreakable. I treat ALL animals how I would want someone to treat mine; with love and patience. I have ample experience walking various breeds and sizes as well as ones with different temperaments. I love taking my Charlie butt on long walks and enjoy playtimes with him. He gets the best of love and care that I will show with you’re furry best friend!
“My dog had the best time with Christina! She sent me pictures the whole time and I think my dog might like her more than me. Anyways, I would highly recommend and will use her in the future!”
