“We are so happy with the services Brandon provided while we were on vacation. We came home to very happy dogs and the house exactly how we left it.

I highly recommend Brandon for house and dog sitting.”

About: I have been in the animal care business for the last 10 years. I personally have a very loved dog that I have cared for, for the last 11 years. On top of caring for my family’s pets over the last 16 years. I work full-time with several days working from home. I know how important an animals schedule is and would do everything to maintain that so the pet’s routine is not affected. My dog and kitten get everything the want and everything I think they need 🤣. Leaving your animal in the trust of me would guarantee that the things you want done for your family are completed. These can include walks, playing with certain toys, or the use of certain leashes or collars.

“Nyska was amazing and easy to work with for our vacation. Our home was spotless, the plants were well cared for, mail was collected, and—most importantly—our puppies were showered with love. I truly appreciated her flexibility and the daily updates with pictures and videos. The dogs responded well to her right away. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


“Ben is literally the BEST!!! Blue loves his boy time with him when I got out of town. He gives me daily updates and pictures. I know Blue is safe with Ben and my heart couldnt be more happy!!”


“First time Rover user and first time leaving our puppy home alone with someone for more than an hour or so. Deborah came with confidence and made us feel very much at ease. Took care of our puppy well and had no issues. Would highly recommend.”


About: I've had dogs all my life as pets. From wiener dogs to pitt bulls to mutts, and I've LOVED THEM ALL. I've recently divorced and moved to an apartment and my ex has our dogs. This is the first time in my life when I haven't had dogs to play with or take care of, so I miss it. This is the perfect opportunity to get some of that back. I work full-time in medical manufacturing from 6am-4pm,with an hour lunch, Monday- Friday, no weekends. Morning time potty and feeding, lunchtime potty break and/or walk, and an evening time feeding with outdoor walk and/or indoor exercise. When I had my own dogs, I would feed them in the morning and take them outside to potty before going to work. My ex wife worked from home, so I didn't need to go home for lunch to attend them. When I got home in the evening I would feed them and take them on a walk around my neighborhood, about an 30 to 45 minutes. Then we'd just sit on the couch and cuddle, watch TV or play around with some of their toys. I took them out again before I went to bed for the evening around 10 or 11pm.

I love pets so i’m more than happy to make time for your pets and there needs!! I love pets and they have a special place in my heart. Bathing, feeding, walking, playing anything to make your pet feel loved and cared for i’m more than willing to do!

“Sydney was an amazing sitter!! Our dogs are quite difficult to deal with and Sydney took it all in stride. Our smallest dog even escaped our yard (totally not Sydney's fault, he is just a difficult dog) and Sydney stayed on the phone with us until he was safely home. I highly recommend Sydney!”


About: Growing up in a household that was always welcoming dogs and cats alike, I have experience with taking care of dogs of many different sizes and breeds. I always make sure that every dog I am helping take care of is treated with the same love and care that I would give my dogs at home. I have been a dog sitter for friends and family prior to rover and have experience with walking, feeding, and making sure all dogs receive an appropriate amount of exercise and playtime. I am currently working full time, but have a very flexible schedule. I am available most mornings before work, week nights, weekends, holidays, and will have varying weekday availability. I live in a three story townhouse, with a large fenced in backyard with plenty of open space. I live within walking distance to Wheeler Dog Park which, which makes for a great walk and play date!

About: Hi! My name is Alexa and I live in Lebanon with my Fiancé and 3 babies, Medusa, Beau, & Zeus. I have been devoted to animal care taking since a very young age. I grew up with mainly American Bullies, Pitbulls, & Frenchies so I have a deep understanding of their every need. But, I love all dogs as if they are my own! I can assure you that your pet will be in good hands with not only one, but two people in the house who work from home! They will be fed on a schedule just like my babies are, out to potty and for walks, play time with any toy they would like or they can even try the enrichment toys, bath time if they need one, and last but not least they can lay in their doggy bed or on my bed/couch! My fiancé and I currently work from home to be able to fit your pets schedule! With a commitment to you & your furry baby, my schedule is designed to fit their every need. Whether it's early morning walks, mid-day treats, or even late night cuddles, I will accommodate their every need. You can be rest assured that your baby is in good hands in with pictures throughout the day and always being able to reach me whether that be a phone call or text message to my phone, I am always available to your every need! In my home, your dogs safety and trust mean the world to my fiancé and I. We have created a secure environment for you baby to feel like they are right at home. I am always available to both you & your pet at your every need. With staying in my home, they will always have a stress free environment to receive the love and attention they deserve.

“Julie is a gem! She related well to our dog and presented herself well to us. She kept us up to date with texts and pictures. She kept the house clean. She followed all the directions for administering meds and feeding on schedule. I would recommend her without hesitation!”


About: I think it’s very important that dogs get their daily exercise! It’s always a bonus for treats. They need their playtime and I ensure they are happy! I would like the flexibility to be able to care for dogs after my full time job Monday through Friday. Mostly evenings will be beneficial for me. I think dogs deserve to be loved and shown attention! I ensure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t eat and that they are shown affection as well.
