“We'd met Marsha once before but were worried how our two dogs would respond to someone coming by the house while we were gone - typical Covid-era dogs that haven't socialized as much as we'd like. Marsha sent us real-time photos of the dogs' reaction, including both of them curled up on the couch with her, so clearly we shouldn't have worried! Communication and logistics were great and we look forward to using Marsha again.”


“Kirk came prepared at our meet and greet with a form for me to complete to give him any information he may need while I was away. He was very accommodating for us even when we had a delay in returning home and stayed later with our dog. I loved getting so many photos of my dog that let me know she was okay and feeling safe and comfortable with him. I will definitely request him for future dog sitting.”


“Katelin was awesome! I had multiple travel changes and she was able to take care of my pets with out hesitation. I received multiple pictures of them having fun the whole time I was gone. Katelin watched the entire place and even was able to notice a broken sprinkler and shut down the system... 100% recommend her !!!!”


About: I love animals and taking care of them brings me pleasure and peace. I have a big yard they will enjoy playing in it all together I’m usually free from Friday-Sunday so I can take care of them at that time. During those days, I can provide my time and energy to those dogs. I have a fenced yard and a dog to keep your fur babies company and they will have fun together. Dogs are big part of my life.

About: I have a huge fenced in yard, your pets will have a ton of attention and be well taken care of, they can be indoor and we go outdoors often tons of toys and freedom besides rules you give! I have experience with all animals and breeds, no complaints about any of them. I'll work with any animal you have. I'm flexible I work from home and can give a lot of attention to your pet I can house sit, go to your house or they can come to mine, I have a open schedule. I feed, give water, play outside and inside, provide toys even, I have a huge fenced in yard but also a line with a leash going from one end to the other for dogs or even cats to be able to play outside safely, I listen to rules and would always make sure your home is locked up and won't forget anything. I'm organized and get things done in a timely manner I can provide baths as well.

About: I have had years of experience caring for childhood pets, including a litters of puppies to caring for my own senior dog. I am comfortable and confident in administering medications and making special accommodations to any pets that need extra care, such as specific feeding or walking instructions. Im soon to be working full time, so weekends will be when I'm most available any time between 6am to 5pm I will be available. I understand the anxiety that can come with finding a sitter, especially one you feel will take and implement special care and attention to your beloved furry family member. My goal is to help alleviate that worry by providing thorough, reliable and consistent communication with you, while also giving your pet all the warm attention and care they deserve and you expect.

“Alexandrea was an absolute pleasure to work with! She house sat for us while we were away and did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 high energy dogs and cat. Everything was neat and tidy when we arrived home and she was very accommodating to us!”


“Jamie and our dog got along from the first meet. While we were gone she kept us updated about our cat and dog. She is a great communicator and we felt good about leaving our pets and house in her care. I would definitely want her next time.”


“Teagan was a great house guest and dog sitter. The pups were sufficiently tired so we know they got good play time. 😁 Communication was great and much appreciated. We'll have her back again for sure!”


About: I have had dogs in my life for all of my life and love being around them. Having a dog of my own has really helped me see the love I have for caring for pets. I am a college student home for the summer and am available anytime! I do have some days I am out of town but other than that I am free all summer long. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space and 3 friendly dogs. I can watch pets at my house or at yours, whichever makes you feel more comfortable!

“Melissa was the perfect match for our puppy! She has amazing patience and knows dogs well. She also took care of our home for a whole week and is extremely trustworthy. We will definitely book with Melissa again!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets But they all know that I won’t have another animal come to my house I’m currently working from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm and I get an hour lunch around 12 but I can always do anything after or before work to help you out!🩷 How I care for a pet when there parents are gone is to make sure they get lots of love and making sure they don’t look so sad and make them run

About: I have taken care of mini types of animals and will be willing too learn how to take care of your if I don’t know. I have four horses and I also have three dogs that have to have a job every day so they stay happy and don’t hurt themselves. I take care of my pets by feeding morning and night also checking water and looking over them making sure they didn’t get hurt when I was gone I would do the same for a client pet.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs, every kind, since i was 12. I’ve always had dogs in my home and they’re family and yours would be too! I’m currently working at home with a flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pet. I’m always home on the weekends for play time at the park or just lounging around on the couches and playing with toys and having treats! I have a fenced yard and 3 dogs of my own that love to play with other dogs. I can provide whatever they may need as far as if you have em crate trained or inside/outside trained.

About: 24/7 live-in pet care in the pet owners home can make a big difference for a pets transition to someone new during a pet owners absence. The on-going company allows pets to be more at peace with the change. I'm a kind hearted women with NO take-a-long pets/visitors! Dependable retired non-smoker/drinker - my home or yours I enjoy my quite time. My 2nd pet sitting platform has 16 - 5 Star Reviews! I also have the highest security clearance on both sites. Prior business owner of 20 years, I'm a well organized person and your home will be kept in order each day. I leave you with the reassurance that you have hired someone that is trustworthy! My goal is that you can relax on Holiday or a work related trip - knowing with confidence that your pets and home are well cared for. Returning pet sitter to Rover. I'm retired now - the calendar is open! I'm available 24/7 and take same day appointments with a prior meet and greet. Cleanliness of a home is priority to the positions I take on. Mutual respect one to another - think guest in your home, not a hired hand! Pets like routine and I support the routines a pet owner has established for the pets they dearly love. Be that bathroom break times, food choices, and rooms that the dog knows... don't even think about it... that's a new sofa... Lol!


About: I do charge a little more as I teach the dog to walk on a leash. Teaching the dog to heel correct is very important. It changes the dogs mind from hunting to following. I have 3 dogs and work at a Pet store that I help train dogs. I can come to your house or mine. I can work on leash pulling kennel training or something fun like Fetch. I do agility on walks and stop at all corners. dogs learn to sit and down also no jumping upon people is learned. I have references available upon request. I look forward to working with you and your pet.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, I’ve house sat/ dog watched for my grand parents and a few of my mothers friends on multiple occasions, I’m great at what I do! I have a Pit/Black Lab mix, he’s almost 3 years old now, so pet care has been my everyday life for 3 years now! I spent a lot of time training him. In my own home the dogs are treated like how I would treat my own dog (unless there are specific instructions left by the owner) but basically they’ll get a lot of outside time because I’m constantly in and out of the house working on projects, the minute I come inside the dogs come inside with me. They get alot of love and attention!
