About: I am an energetic person who is looking to spend time with animals. I am reliable, careful, and understand the bond people have with their animals. I have had an anxious animal and know how to approach them. I have also had experience with training puppies and senior care. I am big on communication and taking the time to better the lives of animals. I am a teacher that has the summer off from school so I am looking to fill my days with pet care! I am very flexible with times, days, and amount of visits. I ensure that your pet is being watched and has sufficient water and food. I will follow all directions and ensure that all safety features are in tact (gate closed, doors closed, nothing in reach for pet). I am respectful towards all household rules and want to be a reliable person to help ease owner anxiety.
“This was my first time using Rover and was nervous at first but Gina made me feel so comfortable and reassured! Lots of pictures made me feel my Callie was well taken care of and showered with lots of love. She made a new friend in Zoe and hope we get to see her again! Gina and her family are awesome - so is their yard/home!! Grateful for Gina who made the whole process simple and made Callie so happy! Will absolutely use again”
“Katie and her family were awesome with our girl Gracie! We were a little nervous but Katie sent pictures showing Gracie with her daughters and walking. I think she had a great time!”
“Tucker had a great time w Shayne & Chip. He’s a little Tuckered out from all the play time. 😁 Everything went smooth & easy from beginning to end. I’d highly recommend them. Thank you!”
“This was not only my first time using Rover, but also the first time I left my dog with anyone other than family. And Eeyore would like to consider Alli family! He had the most wonderful time from the moment we pulled up and he was introduced to her and her pets. Alli kept in touch with adorable photos and videos all weekend. She showed Eeyore such kindness while he was adjusting to a new location, and gave me the ability to enjoy my vacation worry free! Eeyore got along great with his new best dog pal Jack, and who knew he would even leave with a pig pal too! Eeyore cannot wait to go back to what we now refer to as his “Disneyworld”! Thanks Alli for a great experience 💙🐶”
“Katherine was an amazing sitter! She made sure to send updates on how my cat was doing as well as pictures and she responded very quickly if I had any questions. Will definitely be rebooking !”
About: Hi everyone! Our names are Karen and Chad and we’ve always had a love for dogs since childhood. The thought of caring or rescuing a dog has always been top of our minds. When we got married, we adopted a greyhound racer. We had him for 7 years and lost him unfortunately due to cancer. Since we lost him, we’ve wanted to continue helping/caring for dogs and can’t think of a better way then helping others with their fur animals. We know the working world doesn’t always accommodate balancing out caring for our fur friends and work and would love to help with that! Please chose us to care for your fur friends whether it’s a walk or a overnight stay in our home! We will treat them with the utmost love and care! We are available for stays and walks in our home from Thursday until Sunday night. We work from home Thursday and Fridays so can walk them whenever needed! We have a nice back yard but do not currently have a fence (at this time). We can walk the dogs in our backyard with a leash and or take them to nearby parks. We do have a dog bed and dog water/food bowels with plenty of space in our 2200 sq.ft home.
“Chip was amazing on such short notice! He accommodated us at the very last minute when we had some dog sitter plans fall through and I’d say he’s nothing shy of an amazing sitter! After 10 days, our pup came back extremely happy! He is very thorough, attentive, and communicated well. I’ll definitely be booking Chip from now on for all of our dog sitting needs!”
About: I can watch animals of all sizes, chickens, goat dogs, cats, dogs, I own a few types over the years and can possibly learn a new pet, if needed to watch ❤️❤️🐰 I’m currently at home during the day, I’m usually scheduled 1-2 nights a week and will have my daughter helping with the responsibilities for caring for your animals, walking, reading them books and loving on them! I can care for your baby at my home, or yours. Sometimes they’re more comfortable in their home, safety comes first. I will be taking your dog, for walks, car rides, and down to the lake to see my world.
“Madeline is great with our Frenchie. We have used her to watch him several times now. She communicates easily and lets us know how things are going. He has a great time and we know he is well cared for.”
About: I was blessed to have a dog from the age of 16 to 27 named Angel. The name was fitting. Every dog deserves love and attention. I have a full time job but would have no problem making sure that any pet care routine is followed and kept up to date. My ultimate goal is to make sure your house is respected and treated well. Your home is your castle and needs to be protected. I will make sure that your pets lives and routines aren’t interrupted and your home is in the same state as you left it.
About: I am a former RN... I've been around animals my entire life. My animals are like my children. My son Sam helps me.. he is just like me. We enjoy walking our dog and feed him excellent food. My animals have always been healthy and I am a responsible dog owner.I teach for a living now but I work from home 4 days a week and work at a local college 6 hours a week. I lived in Europe for many years... southern Germany where people train their dogs and take very good care of them. I am also a certified pet groomer, but I only groom my own pets now. I would love to help you out on the weekends or on holidays because I would not like to put my dog in a kennel either. I do not work on the weekends and am available. My son assists me with walking or playing with our pets. Our dog Lizzy would love to have someone new to play with. I have a farmhouse with a large yard that is partially fenced in. I crate my puppy at night and have a playpen during the day when we are not outside. My cats run around on all 3 floors.
About: We currently own a Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier named Loki and have a chubby, kleptomaniac cat name Murray who steals all things. I have always owned a dog and I have a couple of years as a vet tech for experience. I currently work full time from home; however, I can be availble during evenings and weekends. I can be a little bit flexible during the work week but would need a little bit of notice. Our dog is extremely well-behaved and never leaves our yard and knows the boundaries. Since I work from home, I am the main care taker of our animals and I would treat client's animals as my own. I also have a top-secret clearance with the government which also means that I am trustworthy and uphold all morals and values.
About: Hello, To all animal parents. You will have not to worry as your animal will be having a blast while in my care. Wheather it's walks overnight stays in my home or yours or just a check in my love will show no bounds. Staying in your home everything will be just as you left. I will call txt or face time when ever you need so that you are comfortable with being away. Thank you for taking the time considering me as the one who will be taking care of your animals. I have stayed the weekend caring for a medium sized dog as well as two indoor/outdoor cats. I faced timed and texted the animal mom frequently over the weekend so she felt better while away from her children(1 dog 2 cats). Thank you and have a great day!

Kayla S.
“I can’t say enough great things about Kayla as a dog walker! From our first meeting, she was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My pup instantly took to her, which is saying a lot because he can be a bit shy with new people. She’s incredibly reliable and always sends the cutest updates and photos from their walks—it gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at work. I can tell she genuinely cares about my dog’s well-being and happiness. Her attention to detail and positive energy make all the difference. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly passionate about animals, I highly recommend Kayla. She’s been a total lifesaver for”
