“Krystal was absolutely wonderful. This was the first time I have ever left my girl with a someone that isn’t family. She sent me updates and kept my house nice and clean! 10/10! Thank you so much!”
“Alissa is such a sweet girl. She loved on our Max all day and played with him, walked him and made sure he was loved while we were gone. She really went above and beyond. We will book her again!”

“Franki was great! My husband and both felt immediately at ease when we met her. She took great care of my dogs and the house looked great when we returned. I will definitely be using her again.”


About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for caring for pets. I've spent my whole life around animals and currently share my home with four wonderful cats and one happy dog. Growing up with pets taught me how to understand their needs, respect their boundaries, and provide the love and attention they deserve. I'm kind, compassionate, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether it's a long walk, a play session, or just quiet companionship. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I’m currently working full-time Tuesday-Friday 8a-6p so, unfortunately, I don’t have availability throughout the weekdays. On the weekends/Monday’s, I’m available morning, afternoon, evening and night! I will always create a comfortable and loving environment for you pets when coming into your home. I’m unable to allow cats/dogs into my own home at the time!
“Bree was wonderful! And most important, Sophie was a happy girl and well taken care of. Bree’s experience is such a plus and, after just a short time, we felt comfortable and assured that Sophie would be in good hands. We will definitely use her services again.”

“Michelle made my family feel at ease about leaving our dog at home during our trip. She took excellent care of Rue and of our home while we were gone for a couple of days. We got daily pictures of Rue and we knew she was being loved on the whole time. I highly recommend Michelle!”

About: I’ve taken care of family, friend’s, and neighbor’s dogs of all shapes and sizes! I absolutely love animals, and I’m willing to do whatever your furry friend needs. We have always had pets in our house, including one that needed long term care. If administering medication is what your pet needs, I’m more than familiar with it! I especially love big dogs, but like I said before…I love ALL animals, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have ample time to play with your animals! I run errands for my family as well, so frequent stops would be no problem! I am able to do whatever your dog needs as long as it’s at your own home. We have two cats, and it wouldn’t be smart for me to bring them here. However, walking, feeding, light grooming, and cuddling are all services that I offer!
About: I am a loving mother of 2 and I will care for your pets as if they were one of the kids. I have dog sit before and loved it. When I was younger I use to volunteer at the animal shelter with my great-grandma and that's the reason I love animals today. I have flexible hours and can work around your schedule, anything you need I can do from dog baths to walks at the park. We also adopted a cat a couple of years ago, and we just love him to pieces. We also just adopted a dog that we have previously sat for. I’m looking to go do more things with the kids this summer so we will be able to fit in daily walks or anything needed I live in a well apartment community, with a few dog parks within! I currently work at a nursing home, my boyfriend and I work opposite schedules so someone is always at home with your fur babies. Also with it being summer I have my two kiddos help out. I will make sure each animal has proper care including a clean safe cozy shelter, clean water, regular bathroom breaks, going on walks for at least half an hour, who knows it could be longer, and so much more!

About: Hi, I'm Jaela! I’m an elementary school teacher, and animals of all ages and sizes have been the absolute center of my world for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by a wide variety of animals, which taught me from a very young age how to read animal body language, handle different temperaments, and provide compassionate, patient care. Throughout high school and college, I regularly watched and walked dogs and cats. I love house sitting because it allows your pets to stay completely relaxed in their own environment while maintaining their exact daily routines. I come from a family of veterinarians, so I grew up immersed in the world of animal health, safety, and care. As a full-time elementary school teacher, summer is my favorite time for pet care! Because I am on summer break, my schedule is completely wide open. Your pets get my undivided attention, structured routines, and endless love right at home.🏠❤️ As an educator, structure and safety are second nature to me. I focus on keeping your pet’s exact routine. I provide consistent feeding, fresh water, medication if needed, plenty of playtime, and lots of love. I treat your home with total respect, keeping it clean, secure, and tidy while sending you regular photo updates!📷🐾
“Our animals were happy and healthy when we got home! House looked great, and we didn't worry the whole weekend. Dominick is great, and we'll definitely book him again!”

“We had a great experience with Jordan. He was not intimidated by the energy of our two rambunctious boxers, and he gladly handled any behavior issues that arose while they were in his care. He took wonderful care of our home and did the things we asked like get the mail and take the trash to the road for pickup. Jordan was responsive whenever I checked in and he took the time to provide thorough updates. We highly recommend Jordan and hope to use his services again in the future!”
“Madilyn was great! She sent me pictures and an update on how my dogs were doing. This was my first experience using Rover, and I will definitely be using it from now on and requesting Madilyn!”

“Ariana is amazing! She came out to meet Gemma and go over instructions twice before we went out of town. Ariana sent pictures and kept us updated while we were away. We felt very comfortable leaving Gemma in her care! We will definitely book Ariana again!”

About: I have taken care of many different animals, including reptiles, fish, amphibians, and mammals. I have some of my own even and I enjoy giving them the best life that I can provide. Working with animals has always been my passion. They deserve just as much as us :) I have a very flexible schedule. I have my own transportation and am very good with time management and scheduling. I will always have time to get my clients requests completed. I prioritize my clients wants and needs and will not go beyond their directions. I will compassionately care for your home and animals as I do my own. I love cleaning and organizing and will do extra tasks as requested.
“We had an amazing experience with our Rover sitter! From the beginning, communication was excellent and we felt completely comfortable leaving our pets in their care. We received updates,and could tell our pets were happy, relaxed, and very well loved while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were being treated like family. We came home to happy pets and everything was perfect. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!”


About: Let me care for your loved ones while you are away, so you can rest at ease and enjoy your adventure with your family and friends. I love being on the move and having a variety of tasks. I love helping to build a strong community as well in this area. Pets are important family members, and I believe owners should know they are valued as such when they are away. Providing your house and/or your pets is the priority while you are away/or needing services. Let me provide you the peace of mind that your house and your pets will receive the highest quality of attention. I have lived in many countries, led international mission trips, and have cared for many owner's houses/pets.

About: Quiet house, looking to share it from time to time with a four legged friend who needs attention while his/her parents are away. I work but can pop in and out for potty breaks. Have two teenage girls who adore animals and will spoil your pet rotten. Relax while you're away knowing that your special friend is well taken care of. Just be prepared that there may be some hesitation when you arrive for pick up. Whether it's an occasional sitter you need, someone to come to your home for an overnight or a fun walk once in awhile, I'm the one you need. Give me a call and we'll arrange for your little one to meet me for approval. We know that they know best.
