“Here’s a glowing review for Kimmie: We couldn’t be happier with the care Kimmie provided for our dogs! From the start, she was attentive to their needs, making sure they were comfortable and happy while we were away. She played their favorite games, kept up with their routines, and even reached out when needed to clarify instructions, showing how much she truly cares. The daily pictures and updates were such a wonderful touch, giving us peace of mind knowing our pups were in great hands. We’ve already booked her again—she’s fantastic! Highly recommend Kimmie for anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.”


“Jason was in constant communication, giving us updates on how the overnight visit was going. We appreciated him respecting our house and taking good care of our Zoey while we were away.”


About: I’m a total dog person and love getting to know each pup’s unique personality! I treat every dog like they’re part of the fam- lots of love, play time, and making sure ur fu-babies are comfy while you’re away! I am a very chill person who is easy to communicate with, and I always try to stick to a routine that feels normal to them while in my care! Whether your dog is full of energy, or more low-key, I go with the flow! And yes— you can expect daily cute photo updates! :) Taking care of dogs is already a big part of my day-to-day—I’ve got a pup of my own, so I’m used to keeping a good routine down with walks, meals, playtime, and chill time. It’s kinda of second nature at this point! I’m all about keeping things consistent and making sure each dog feels comfy! When I am in someone’s home, I really try to stick to your dog’s normal routine! I’ll ask about all the details so your fur-baby feels comfortable! I am super respectful of your space and always clean up after myself and your dog! My main goal is to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well-loved while you’re gone! :)

“David is completely honest and very eager to learn about my babies' likes, dislikes and funny quirks. He is a very sensitive young man and is sincere about wanting to know my babies and treat them exactly as I would. I'll call him again!!”


About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including administering medication, senior pet care, and basic training for puppies. I treat every animal like family, providing a calm, loving, and attentive environment. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and ability to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs. I'm reliable, flexible, and experienced with both high-energy breeds and pets with special care routines. Their comfort and safety are always my top priority. Although I currently work full-time, I make pet care a dedicated part of my evenings and weekends. I’m reliable with early morning or evening check-ins, walks, and overnight stays. My schedule allows me to plan ahead and give pets the consistent care and attention they need. I prioritize communication with pet owners to ensure routines are followed and pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved even while their owners are away. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free environment by maintaining their normal routines and surroundings. I follow all instructions carefully, from feeding schedules to medication needs, and ensure the home is secure at all times. I build trust through gentle interaction, consistency, and plenty of affection, helping pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Cleanliness, respect for the home, and constant communication with the owner are top priorities to ensure peace of mind and the pet’s well-being.

About: I am commitment to personalized care tailored to your pet's unique needs. I am an experienced sitter ensuring a positive start for your young ones by providing a positive environment and experience. I also specialize in senior pet care, offering gentle support and companionship for older animals, addressing their specific health and mobility needs. With my focus on enrichment activities, regular communication, and a loving environment, your pet will receive the highest level of care and attention. I am flexible and have the ability to come to you anytime of the week and any day of the week. Please feel free to ask any questions about or availability specific to your scheduling needs. I am mobile and willing to travel anywhere in the US to and for you. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions about my in-home services.

“Thailynn made my first time using Rover for my fur babies so great! She was very communicative and took care of my girls like her own. She followed my detailed care instructions and reached out if she had any questions. She stayed in my home and was very respectful. The girls absolutely loved her! I can’t recommend her enough, she is just the absolute best. A big shoutout to her sister as well, who stepped in to help when needed. I feel very blessed to have found amazing people to watch my girls when I’m away❤️❤️”


“I am the typical worried pet parent. Petey has a few medical issues for which he takes supplements. I am so grateful Rochelle was able to stay with Petey over Christmas and was not intimidated by his routine. I had a snafu with the airlines and thought I might not get home until very late, much later than originally planned. Rochelle was kind enough to offer to stay if needed. Luckily, I was able to resolve the issue and got home earlier than planned. Petey looked great when I got home and the house was clean and tidy. Thank you Rochelle! See you again soon.”


About: My family has always had dogs, since before I was born. I have always cared for dogs, and about two years ago I got my first cat, and a few months ago I got my first puppy. They both live with me at college now. I know how to care for puppies, and old dogs at the end of their life. I am a full time college student, but I have lots of free time to look after your pets. I have a dog of my own, so I know how much you want your pups to be cared for. I care for the pets as if they are my own. I know what it’s like to have to leave your pet behind when you travel. It sucks, and you just want the best for them, and that’s what I try to offer.

“Andrea is wonderful! Our dogs normally take a while to warm up to new people, but she was patient, calm, and kind and they loved her within the first 30 mins of meeting her.
