“Pablo had a great time with Jessica, Theo and the kids! They kept me up to date on how he was doing and he came back tired, so I know he had a good vacation! :) Pablo is looking forward to seeing them again!”
“My girl came home happy and worn out. She must have played non-stop with Raleigh's dog Gargamel, as the pictures and videos sent to me all showed. My feeling is so much better with her coming back from Raleigh's place than I have felt recently when I left her at a kennel. I'll soon be a repeat customer.”
“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!”
“Michelle & Luke provided my pup with the most loving, active, and safe environment! This was my very first experience with Rover and I had visited and been in contact with several other options before settling on this one. I’m SO glad I held out for the best- I can not say enough great things about Reina’s stay here. I received updates throughout my week with pictures of my pup. She had a great stay and I will use them again. 10/10”
About: I have been pet sitting for my friends and family for years now I am also very good and ready dogs and cats body language since I have been around them my whole life i would love to spend my free time caring for your fur child I promise you I will love your pet as much as you do I am available during the week after 5 and Sunday and Monday I'm available all day!! I would prefer to visit my clients dog in there own home that way the dog or cat is not in a new environment cats can be weird to changes so bring them to a new place can be scary for them if the client wishes to bring them to my house I have a 1 year old cavapoo who just wants to make friends and would love it she has a bunch of toys they can play with and I do have a lead that I can use to let them outside if they need to use the bathroom
“Joni was great with our dog. She gave us updates and sent us a picture while we were gone. She is very responsive if you have any questions and pick and drop off was a breeze. I highly recommend and will be bringing my dog back to Joni for our next trip.”
“Rachel and Mike provided an outstanding boarding experience for MY CAT, Fluffy. Awesome!!!! From the moment I left her in their care, I knew she was in the best hands. They consistently went above and beyond, making sure Fluffy received plenty of love, attention, and treats. What really set them apart was the thoughtful updates they provided—seeing pictures of Fluffy enjoying her stay brought us so much peace of mind. Rachel and Mike’s dedication to Fluffy’s comfort was truly remarkable. They even covered additional expenses to ensure she had everything she needed until we could settle up with them. 😉 Their genuine passion for pets is clear in every interaction, and it made a world of difference. If you’re searching for a reliable and caring pet boarding power couple, look no further than Rachel and Mike. They treated Fluffy like their own, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them for anyone who wants the best for their furry family members!”
“Kelly helped us out last minute after a cancellation from another sitter and I’m SO glad we found her! I could tell by her updates, with pictures included, that her and her family were loving my pup like their own. He came home with a stylish new bandana and is a happy boy. I would recommend Kelly to everyone and we would definitely use her 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!”
“Mikaela is the absolute best!! We had a super fun and friendly meet and greet and I knew my Aussie, Nick would have a fab time. He loved her other 2 dogs and was treated like he was right at home! Mikaela was lovely to communicate with; super clear with details and sent me lots of adorable photos while I was away. Thank you Mikaela, Abby & Cecil for taking great care of my best buddy!! <3”
“My experience boarding our pup Willy with Megan and her family was wonderful. Several weeks before our boarding and before I even confirmed the booking, Megan invited me to visit and make sure our pup would be comfortable or a good fit. Only once it seemed like it was going to be good for all of us did move forward. Willy stayed for a week. Megan was not only attentive to his usual routine but kept us updated with photos and notes about how he was feeling (he gets anxiety over storms). I really made us feel good about our decision to try Rover for the first time and Megan in particular. We'd definitely do it again. Thank you, Megan!”
“Monica provided excellent hospitality to our pup and made him feel safe and loved. She was excellent with communication and daily pictures of our pup looking happy, calm, and relaxed during his stay. I highly recommend Monica.”
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.
“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.”
“I boarded my beagle over night and I could tell that my girl was very taken care of. Extremely clean house and gentle children. Cassandra was great with my Eve. She sent lots of pictures that helped me feel at ease. I plan on bringing her back & thankful we have a sitter now!”
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’m currently in school, but I manage my time well and intentionally plan my schedule around pet care. I’m available before and after school, as well as on weekends, and 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.

“Kelsey was excellent would definitely use her again. She did a wonderful job caring for my pets for an extended period of time. Received daily pictures that helped reassure quality of care. Many thanks Kelsey”
“Shay was amazing with my two pups. When she came for the meet and greet the dogs loved her and she was not worried about them being bigger dogs. She sent me plenty of photos of my babies. She was great and I would book with her every time!!”
“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 ?”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter and it was an awesome experience. Laken was great with our cats, even our stubborn old girl really liked her, and that says a lot. She even left them an Easter basket of toys and treats. Highly recommend her.”
About: I have four of my own pups at home, they rage from an Australian Shepard, great-dane boxer mix, and a pitt bull black lab mix, to a pug! I also own livestock and small farm animals so i’m great in any situation! I have recently graduated so I am available early mornings also! I work part time so I am available almost daily! I’m able to come last minute so there’s no stress about wether or not your pup will be safe and cared for! If you’re trying out a new routine or sticking to the one you know works for your pup(s) I will follow any schedule from morning till night! I know how important it is for me to have things going to plan in order to be stress free and I want you to have the stress free time you deserve while I care for your animals your way!
About: I’ve always loved cats and have been caring for them for years, both my own and for friends and family. I understand that every cat has a different personality, whether they’re playful, shy, cuddly, or independent. I’m patient and gentle, and I make sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’m happy to feed them, clean litter boxes, play with them, and give them all the attention they need. Your cat will be treated just like part of my family.
“Zel never disappoints. She is reliable, caring and rather clever with pets. Great communicarion. This time it was our two cats and house sitting (including plant care), although she has taken care of our dog in addition on another occasion. The house was in terrific shape too. We are very fond of her and of course will re-book.”
About: With personal experience caring for cats, I truly enjoy giving felines the individualized attention they are looking for. From playful kittens to independent adults and gentle seniors, I understand their unique needs—quiet environments, consistent routines, interactive play, and respect for their space. Your cats will be well-cared for and happily waiting for your return!
About: I’ve always had animals in my life. Dogs and cats have been an integral part of my upbringing and now adult life. Family, friends, and coworkers have always relied on me to take care of their beloved pets. I currently work Monday through Friday 7:25-3:25 so any time before or after that as well as weekends I am free to spend with your babies. I can easily swing by for drop in visits and play with your pets and show them the love they need when your away. I also can do walks and trips in the car to parks and trails.
About: I’ve always had pets growing up. Throughout my childhood my family had two cats and a dog. After moving out of my parents house, I rescued two kitties who I’ve had for about 2 years. I treat them like my children. Im currently working in the office, but can work at home when need be. When I’m in the office, I can leave once a day to run home and let out animals if need be. I live in a safe & secure apartment. I currently have two cats who can make quite the mess. I find myself cleaning the litter every two or three days. Vacuuming hair once-twice a week & brushing them daily.
About: I've had cats my whole life and know about their care and nutrition. I've watches neighbor's cats in their homes plenty of times and made sure they had everything they needed. I've had my cat for 8 years and have been his primary caregiver.

“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. 💜💜”

About: I have experience (20 years) with my own pets. And have dog-sat seniors with medical issues/medication administering needs and police dogs as well. I also worked at a boarding and doggy daycare facility. I recognize the need for a clean and safe place for your pet that provides professional, proficient care and monitoring as well. I am currently a full time working mom. I have decided to offer my experience of caring for pets, because I have desire to work with animals. I would love to play with your pets and cuddle them while you are busy or working! I have availability for pet sitting some days during the week. I have a large, fenced (5 foot) back yard. I can crate your pet, if needed. I administer medications and feed at the required/designated times. Your pet will never be left for an extended (2+ hours) amount of time.
“I had contacted Tom and Christine to take in my dogs sort of at the last minute. They were very accommodating and ready to accept them. Unfortunately I had gotten them confused with another provider and ended up bringing them to the second provider. After discussing this with them, they were very understanding and refunded their fee. It was very kind of them to initially accept my dogs and also to work with me after my embarrassing mistake. I would definitely recommend them for other pet owners in their area though!”
About: I am detail oriented and love schedules. I am punctual and will send updates and photos to your specifications. Whether your babies need crated or cuddled, I am the one for the job. I am currently not working so I am available most days and weekends. I have 2 friendly dogs that love to walk and play as well. I have a fenced in yard, lots of space for the animals to roam around freely. My dogs are both friendly and happy to meet new friends.
About: Hi! I have been an animal lover and owner all my life. Growing up, I rode horses and my family had numerous dogs (puppies), cats (kittens), goats, hamsters, amphibians and birds! As an adult, I lived on a farm for 11 years and helped with a herd of goats, rabbits and mules. I am entertained by chickens and have raised multiple flocks of them and ducks too. I've also had great opportunity to travel doing house and pet sitting experiences along the way. I am an active person and I enjoy ensuring animals have the proper space and time to exercise in all seasons. It is my priority to treat animals with respect and kindness, allowing trust to develop. It is so interesting to make new fur-friends and learn each of their individual personalities. I am currently working only a small amount of hours each week, so my availability is quite open. I also have the flexibility to come to your house. I currently live with my parents and their two super friendly Boston terriers. We have a fenced yard and plenty of space for nice walks. If I am in your home, I am very adaptable and will follow your instructions for what is best for your pets.

About: Worked at petsmart for 2 years in college in pet care. Learned to care for cats, dogs, reptiles and horses at a young age. Have owned cats, dogs and reptiles. Knowledge of medications and how to administer. I work from home and my hours are flexible, am able to provide pet care that is round the clock, Monday through Friday and on weekends. For drop ins on weekdays, I can come in the morning or later evening. Large yard, locks on all doors and windows. Would keep animals separate from my own animals if at my house. Never leave animals unsupervised in the home
About: What sets us apart is that dogs aren’t just pets in our home—they’re family. We’ve been caring for dogs together since 2013, and our animals live fully alongside us in everyday life, from couch snuggles to family adventures. Our dogs are regularly vetted, deeply loved, and yes—often spoiled. In addition to long-term pet care, we’re proud foster parents with The Road Home Animal Project and have lovingly fostered over 22 dogs (and counting), each with unique personalities and needs. This experience has made us patient, adaptable, and confident caring for dogs of all ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. Your pup won’t just be watched—they’ll be welcomed into a calm, happy home with a whole family devoted to their comfort and care. Pet care is woven into our daily life. My husband works remotely five days a week, I work part-time, and evenings and weekends are open—perfect for one-on-one attention, extra spoiling, and playtime with our dogs who love having new friends. We care for pets like family, offering fenced yard play, neighborhood walks, and crate options when needed. Our friendly, sometimes vocal dogs enjoy playmates, and pets are fully included in our home with supervision, comfy furniture, and attentive care.
About: I am a very loving, friendly, and warm male figure with a tender heart for all animals. I have 10 years of experience taking care of my family's dog, Pocky - an energetic border collie / aussie shepherd mix. I am a full-time musician, meaning I make my own schedule. I am extremely flexible and available during the day and evening to look after your animal. I am also available some weekends. I currently don't have any animals at my house, so your pet would get all of my attention and care if they stay with me! I have a small fenced in yard, and I live very close to the river trail for extended walks and playtime.
“Would highly recommend! When I realized a big chain daycare place wasn't the right fit for my dog, I turned to Rover to try and find a solution. Raleigh and his dog have been absolutely wonderful for my dog Rascal. He's knowledgeable about dog behavior and keeps play appropriate and fun for the dogs. From the meet and greet to the initial visit, he's been kind and listened to my concerns and works with me and my hectic schedule. This has been a great experience and I am hopeful that more people are willing to work with reactive dogs!”
About: I have had and taken care of dogs since I was 6 years old. I’ve been around many types of dogs, even guinea pigs, fish, goats, chickens, cats, and more. I’d love to give your pets the care they need and want, and definitely spoil them with some loving and treats (with permission). My work schedule varies but I’m very good with time management and I’d love to fit you into my schedule! My classes start back up in August so after that, my schedule will be more limited. I have a very big fenced in yard. I play with my animals regularly, feed them, clean up after them. I’d love to do the same with your animals.
About: I'm passionate when it comes to top quality care of all animals. I live, eat, and breathe pet care/vet med. I'm a loving, kind experienced veterinary assistant with experience in specialty vet med. I have 2 medium well trained dogs that I share custody of, so I can accomodate more needy puppers or kitties if needed (they can go to their dads for sittings) I also have 3 cats. My first job as a kid in high-school was helping the local groomer wash dogs. I have pet sat, house sat, walked dogs, fed, bathed, clipped nails, admin'ed meds, etc. for over 20 years at this point. Because I have a background in vet med, I feel comfortable with pets who have some mild to moderate special needs. I work full time remotely, so I am available to sit in my home or at yours with short notice. I also have a very flexible schedule which allows for frequent potty/ walk about breaks. I have a spare room for pets overnight in my home. During the day they're allowed to freely roam the house and we will take occasional strolls to park, or on the trail, based on behavior and comfort level of all parties.
About: I have taken care of countless animals in my life. I truly adore them. I've raised llamas, mini donkeys, chickens, dogs, cats, hedgehogs, macaws, fish..to name a few! I believe animals are family. They enrich our lives and bring us happiness! I am currently retired and available frequently for boarding and/or daycare. I clean my yard daily, so no waste is evident. It is very important to me that your dog has all shots and is on a flea/tick preventative medication. I have a fenced yard, a doggie door that leads to the yard and a friendly labradoodle. I also have a cat, but she stays in her "own" room.

About: I am deaf, so I am able to bond with pets more because they cannot communicate their needs with humans. I am likewise, so I hope to communicate with gestures as they may did. I am studying in a certificate program, so that shouldn’t be a problem. I will work during the workdays, and I can be available during weekends. I have two kittens and three koi fishes. They are fed once in the mornings or evenings. I cuddle them for some time but left them to wander wherever their curiosity attracted them. My cats like to sit on my chest or necks when they wished to, but I left them to their desires when they want to.
About: I have four of my own pups at home, they rage from an Australian Shepard, great-dane boxer mix, and a pitt bull black lab mix, to a pug!

About: I’ve always been a dog person but I love all animals. We’ve always had a dog growing up along with some other pets (ex. Rabbits, hamsters, fish) anytime family or friends needed pet sitting I’ve been there. My main availability is Monday through Thursday but let me know the dates that you need the help and I can see what I can do! The two puppers in my house get to run and roam in the fenced yard but we do take them on walks from time to time.

About: Hello, I’m Kandis, a lifelong Steubenville local with a deep love for animals. Growing up with dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds, reptiles, fish, and even farm animals, I’ve gained hands-on experience with pets of all shapes, sizes, and life stages, from playful puppies and the ‘terrible twos’ to senior companions who need gentle care. I love how pets enrich our lives. Whether it’s daily dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, or medication reminders, I treat every pet like my own, with the patience and affection they deserve. I’m currently building my dedicated pet sitting and dog walking business in the Steubenville area. My schedule is highly flexible and open most days and times—aside from Saturday and Sunday morning Mass. I’m happy to work around your needs for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or whatever your pets require. Just let me know your schedule! I deeply respect your home and privacy and will follow all instructions for your pets and property without issue. Whether caring for your pets in your home or welcoming them into mine, their safety and comfort come first. My home features a fenced backyard, separate levels for quiet time if needed, and kennels for flexible arrangements. I have two friendly dogs of my own (a Bernedoodle and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) who love making new friends and providing companionship during stays. I prepare healthy homemade treats like dehydrated fruit and jerky, and I’m experienced managing picky eaters and sensitive stomachs.
About: I have had animals my whole life. Aside from having a well-loved pitty for 8 years, I have lots of experience keeping animals safe and loved! My family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues all count on me to keep their furry friends happy while they’re gone! I am a graduate student so I’m always willing to take a break from my studies! I’m available pretty much any time for your pet! In your home, I will follow your direction and use my best judgement to keep your animal safe. I believe that play and love builds trust with an animal so I’d love to take walks and toss a ball or treats around!
About: I have been an animal lover all my life and i will take care of your pets daily needs as i do my own animals. I'm currently working full time but have a very flexible schedule. I can be there to help take care of their daily needs or just do drop in visits to tend to them. I currently have 2 full grown dogs for your pups to play with in a large yard. I am also able to walk daily when needed.
About: I am a very loving, friendly, and warm male figure with a tender heart for all animals. I have 10 years of experience taking care of my family's dog, Pocky - an energetic border collie / aussie shepherd mix. I am a full-time musician, meaning I make my own schedule. I am extremely flexible and available during the day and evening to look after your animal. I am also available some weekends. I currently don't have any animals at my house, so your pet would get all of my attention and care if they stay with me! I have a small fenced in yard, and I live very close to the river trail for extended walks and playtime.
About: My name is Kristie and this is just a little about me! My parents got me my first puppy when I was 2 years old and I have been in love with dogs and all other animals ever since. My current little love is a 40 pound Mini Bulldog named Curtiss that is a ball of energy and the most affectionate pup I've ever had, he loves to play, go for walks, chew on his bones, and take naps. I have had a wide range of pets including rescue dogs and cats to horses on the farm I grew up on. I have also handled dogs of all sizes, and love them all! I love taking care of animals and the unconditional love that they return. I would love to take care of your pets and give you peace of mind while you are away! =)
About: I’ve always had animals in my life. Dogs and cats have been an integral part of my upbringing and now adult life. Family, friends, and coworkers have always relied on me to take care of their beloved pets. I currently work Monday through Friday 7:25-3:25 so any time before or after that as well as weekends I am free to spend with your babies. I can easily swing by for drop in visits and play with your pets and show them the love they need when your away. I also can do walks and trips in the car to parks and trails.
About: I am a dog lover of all kinds! I currently work from home so I have the ability to be very attentive with your Furry Family Members. I have a 2 year old Golden Mountain Dog who is the sweetest boy and loves other dogs! If you choose us, I would be excited to treat your pup like a member of the family. This is something I do part time, message me to see if I am available when you need me. I work from home so I am almost always available! I make sure my own pets are given lots of attention and stimulated physically and mentally throughout the day! I can help train, engage in play time, go for walks. And much more!
About: I have taken care of animals for years. I am able to do puppy training. During drop in visits, I play with cats, change litter boxes, feed and water animals, and walk dogs. I am trained to handle reactive and aggressive dogs. I have not found an animal that I do not love. I work in the veterinary industry so pet care is an every day thing. My wife and I both work on this together so we are able to handle most schedules. We can always take care of animals before and/or after work. In the Client’s home we take dogs for a walk or play time outside, feed and water, play time inside and lots of love. For animals who do not go outside we spend the time interacting with them in their preferred way.
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was 13. Neighbors, friends & family have relied on me. To feed, bath & walk their pet. My workplace involves taking care of animals & have worked there for 4years & continue to work for them. I'm currently working part-time so I have lots of time on hands. I typically work 2 days weekly, I can also request days off if needed. My workdays are Friday, Saturday & Sunday. In the past, I had a husky which is a high maintenance dog. So, I know a how to handle an energetic dog. I also offer to bath the dog if needed. I also try to get a treat or toy, epically for a first interaction.
About: I am back from home after graduating with a Masters this summer, so I am excited to come home and go back to dog sitting, what I’ve done since I was in high school! My dog Sammy is always so excited when we go home because she gets to meet new pup friends, and we both love having more dogs around to play with. Sammy is just about the nicest dog you'll ever meet. I've had dogs my whole life, and I love taking care of all animals, rowdy or calm! We have a huge yard (and a very tall fence, so no need to worry if anybody can jump over it!) that we can run in all day, and when we're all tired, we lounge on the couch and relax. Sammy and I take daily walks, and sometimes walk twice a day, which your animal can join in on as well. I take care of pets like they're my own, I just love them so much! My house will be like a home away from home for your pet. I am home working on writing and grading all day for my winter break so I am home the entire day to care for your pup. I will play or snuggle with the pets based on their energy and preferences! They will get treats as often as you tell me to give them (I know some pups are on a diet so I will wait for you to say if it’s okay to give any treats). They will go outside as often as they need and spend all winter inside a warm living room with me and my pup Sammy

“Pablo had a great time with Jessica, Theo and the kids! They kept me up to date on how he was doing and he came back tired, so I know he had a good vacation! :) Pablo is looking forward to seeing them again!”
“My girl came home happy and worn out. She must have played non-stop with Raleigh's dog Gargamel, as the pictures and videos sent to me all showed. My feeling is so much better with her coming back from Raleigh's place than I have felt recently when I left her at a kennel. I'll soon be a repeat customer.”
“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!”
“Michelle & Luke provided my pup with the most loving, active, and safe environment! This was my very first experience with Rover and I had visited and been in contact with several other options before settling on this one. I’m SO glad I held out for the best- I can not say enough great things about Reina’s stay here. I received updates throughout my week with pictures of my pup. She had a great stay and I will use them again. 10/10”
“Joni was great with our dog. She gave us updates and sent us a picture while we were gone. She is very responsive if you have any questions and pick and drop off was a breeze. I highly recommend and will be bringing my dog back to Joni for our next trip.”
“Kelly helped us out last minute after a cancellation from another sitter and I’m SO glad we found her! I could tell by her updates, with pictures included, that her and her family were loving my pup like their own. He came home with a stylish new bandana and is a happy boy. I would recommend Kelly to everyone and we would definitely use her again!”
“Mikaela is the absolute best!! We had a super fun and friendly meet and greet and I knew my Aussie, Nick would have a fab time. He loved her other 2 dogs and was treated like he was right at home! Mikaela was lovely to communicate with; super clear with details and sent me lots of adorable photos while I was away. Thank you Mikaela, Abby & Cecil for taking great care of my best buddy!! <3”
“My experience boarding our pup Willy with Megan and her family was wonderful. Several weeks before our boarding and before I even confirmed the booking, Megan invited me to visit and make sure our pup would be comfortable or a good fit. Only once it seemed like it was going to be good for all of us did move forward. Willy stayed for a week. Megan was not only attentive to his usual routine but kept us updated with photos and notes about how he was feeling (he gets anxiety over storms). I really made us feel good about our decision to try Rover for the first time and Megan in particular. We'd definitely do it again. Thank you, Megan!”
“Monica provided excellent hospitality to our pup and made him feel safe and loved. She was excellent with communication and daily pictures of our pup looking happy, calm, and relaxed during his stay. I highly recommend Monica.”
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.
“I boarded my beagle over night and I could tell that my girl was very taken care of. Extremely clean house and gentle children. Cassandra was great with my Eve. She sent lots of pictures that helped me feel at ease. I plan on bringing her back & thankful we have a sitter now!”
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’m currently in school, but I manage my time well and intentionally plan my schedule around pet care. I’m available before and after school, as well as on weekends, and 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: What sets us apart is that dogs aren’t just pets in our home—they’re family. We’ve been caring for dogs together since 2013, and our animals live fully alongside us in everyday life, from couch snuggles to family adventures. Our dogs are regularly vetted, deeply loved, and yes—often spoiled. In addition to long-term pet care, we’re proud foster parents with The Road Home Animal Project and have lovingly fostered over 22 dogs (and counting), each with unique personalities and needs. This experience has made us patient, adaptable, and confident caring for dogs of all ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. Your pup won’t just be watched—they’ll be welcomed into a calm, happy home with a whole family devoted to their comfort and care. Pet care is woven into our daily life. My husband works remotely five days a week, I work part-time, and evenings and weekends are open—perfect for one-on-one attention, extra spoiling, and playtime with our dogs who love having new friends. We care for pets like family, offering fenced yard play, neighborhood walks, and crate options when needed. Our friendly, sometimes vocal dogs enjoy playmates, and pets are fully included in our home with supervision, comfy furniture, and attentive care.
“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: Hi! I’m Brittni! I’m a work-from-home human and proud fur-kiddo mom with many years of pet-sitting experience for friends and family. Size, breed, or number of pets is never an issue— I have experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. I’m comfortable providing care for pets with special needs, including administering medications and treatments as needed. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. We all want our pets to be cared for the same way we care for them, and that’s exactly what I strive to do! I work from home during the week, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, care and companionship throughout the day. After work, and during weekends are usually very flexible for me. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I do have a long leash so your pet can enjoy safe outdoor time, in addition to regular walks if you’d like. In my home, in addition to my husband, I have two Frenchies, one chocolate lab, and a cat (who mainly keeps to himself), as well as children who love animals and help provide plenty of companionship for your fur-baby.
“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”
“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!”
