John is absolutely great. His calming demeanor really helped my nervous pup be comfortable. John stayed at the house with my pup and 4 cats. He gave good updates and followed instructions. He left the house clean and orderly. Thank you John for being so helpful and respectful! Will book again 😀

Charles was absolutely wonderful with Owen and Seamus. He was communicative the entire time, sent great pictures, and made everything feel easy and under control. Both of my pets clearly felt comfortable with him, and I appreciated how helpful and attentive he was throughout the stay. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, genuinely caring sitter.

About: I have worked at a vet clinic for the past 7 summers. I have experience with all types of pets especially dogs and cats in a medical and home setting. I have three dogs of my own. I have a very flexible schedule during the summer as I am a college student who works remotely. I don’t have a set schedule it varies day to day. I love to spend quality time with your fur babies. If they enjoy cuddles I am your girl. I will take them on walks, play fetch, or simply be someone to keep them company.

Arabella & Dylan were very attentive to Makkachin. :) They tag teamed her care like pros, Arabella tapping in before Dylan left, and in total were with her for 5.5 hours, never leaving once! They were punctual, attentive to directions, which they followed to the letter, and gave her tons of attention and exercise, full of play, walks, and snuggles. They also fed her and kept her safe. She was happy and worn out in the best way. I would definitely use them again!

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. As a pet owner myself, I understand that our pets are family members, not just animals. My personal dogs receive the same love, attention, and care that I would want for any pet entrusted to me. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including owning and operating a nonprofit animal rescue for five years. Through my rescue work, I cared for hundreds of dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, special-needs pets, and dogs recovering from illness or surgery. I am experienced with administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or veterinary care. I know that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will care for them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Because I spend a significant amount of time at home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and will work with you to ensure your pet’s schedule, feeding times, medications, and preferences are followed closely. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I can provide the level of care and attention they need. Safety is always my top priority. My experience running an animal rescue taught me how to properly introduce dogs, recognize signs of stress, manage different personalities, and provide a safe environment for pets with varying needs. I have a securely fenced yard and closely supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate medications, special feeding instructions, crate training, and senior pet care.

Izza Sofia is AMAZING!!! She took a lot of time to get to know us and everythhing we needed before ever coming, and then gave Makkachin the best day! 2 long walks, lots of playtime both indoors and outdoors, snuggles, companionship, and close supervision (good for a doggo who eats objects!) She was smiling in all her pictures, and definitely had fun, got her exercise, and had her separation anxiety cured. I can tell a difference in her demeanor when she is very engaged with and when she is not, and this was definitely a case of the former! Such a happy girl! 🥹 I also REALLY appreciated Izza Sofia’s constant updates many fantastic photos, and little comments all day long. She is the best and I can’t wait to have her watch Makka again! 10/10 recommend! 🥰

This was our first time using Rover and we’re a bit hesitant to give it a try. We found Kelsey who had great reviews and upon meeting her in person, felt comfortable to move forward with booking her for a 5 night stay in our home watching our golden retriever. Kelsey was fantastic! She did an amazing job keeping an eye on our home but must importantly, taking care of our dog. She provided daily updates and her communication was always prompt. Highly recommend Kelsey and we will definitely be using her again!

Aliya is great with my pup! He’s always excited to see her and when I get home he is happy and calm. She takes him out for walks and runs him. He is always fed appropriately. She is very tidy in the house and respectful of my space. I trust her being alone in my home overnight and I am so grateful she is able to help me take care of my sweet pup.

Cody took extreme care of my 13 year old pup by house sitting for an extended weekend. Murphy felt right at home and was given all the love and care he needed. Cody administered Murphy’s meds properly and gave daily reports on how Murphy was doing. Will definitely use again!

Anna was amazing! Totally responsive (and quick to respond) even from the planning phase, as well as friendly and not just amenable but very positive about my super long shift request from the beginning. She was very communicative about schedule and details about my pup’s care, and even agreed to meet for a video chat to learn further details. Once she was here was EVEN better! My pup took to her immediately, manically excited the second she met Anna, and Anna not only took her craziness in stride, but showed immediate affection: I felt 100% confident that Makkachin would not only be safe and well cared for, bur would have a GREAT time. Anna made sure she knew every detail about Makkachin’s care and house rules before I left, and then gave Makkachin a fun day of walks and hikes, play times, greetings with other dogs, and plenty of couch cuddles. 🥰. On top of that, Anna is a certified dog trainer and has experience working at a doggy daycare as well as with her own dogs. Makkachin absolutely loved and adored her, and I also enjoyed chatting with cool, friendly Anna. I will definitely use her again, and you should too! You’ll be glad that you did. :)

About: Hello! I have 2 years of experience with dog walking + a handful of occasions where I have been trusted to pet-sit / board. I consider myself a loyal dog (and cat!) owner with a great work ethic. For the 2 years of dog walking, I walked a German Shepard — his name was Val. I walked Val consistently, in weather that ranged from 90-40 degrees Fahrenheit, up until his owner moved into a nursing home and Val was rehomed. I loved the big guy like he was my own dog - filling his water, scooping out his dog food, brushing him out, and playing fetch. I never missed a day I was scheduled unless there was a sudden change in plans (I was sick, she cancelled my walk, or an event took place where I couldn't arrive in time to walk him). Recently, my family has adopted our beloved goldendoodle puppy — Corduroy. I love him unconditionally, and so much of my free time is spent helping him get his energy out. I am a homeschooler, with all days free except for Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings. For walking purposes, I am available any time it is not dark outside and not preoccupied. Please note that my price for drop-ins, overnight care, and dog walking vary by location. The closer you are, the cheaper it will be. Below is how I determine payment: 0-5 miles from my home and/or workplace = $40 per night / drop in / walk Every additional 0.5 mile is $1 I make sure everything is taken care of. From basic expectations to leaving the house exactly how I found it — if not better. If it’s not my house or my pet, then I’m obligated to go by my clients rules.

About: I have taken care of dogs and a number of other animals since I was a kid. I have helped train my friend's dogs at times. I am a very active person so love being able to take a dog for a run or to the park for some exercise for us both. I really want a dog of my own but don’t have the availability year round to commit to having my own right now. I currently work a full-time job, but can be flexible in regards to taking a pup outside during the day. I do travel for work but I know all of those dates until November already. I will be sure to play with a pup a lot when I am home and would love to take it with me if I go hangout with friends, or go to the park (if it's friendly with other people/dogs). Sometimes I'm pretty available during the week and sometimes I'm more available on weekends. It truly depends on the week and season of the year. Winter and Summer times are a lot more free for me in general. I follow instructions well and am a very detail-oriented person. If a pup is supposed to eat between 4-6pm then they will get food between those times. In the home, whatever instructions are given to me regarding where the dog sleeps, if it can get on furniture or be in bedrooms, etc. will all be honored. I plan to love on your pet while you're away and would love to spend a relaxing evening watching a movie with them as well.

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs has always been part of my everyday life. Growing up, my parents frequently puppy-sat for multiple dogs, which taught me how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also have two dogs of my own at home, giving me firsthand experience with daily care, patience, and responsibility. In addition, I have experience with dog walking and hosting pups, so I understand how to keep dogs safe, comfortable, and happy both on walks and in a home setting. I treat every dog like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a student-athlete at Liberty, I’m very structured with my time, which makes it easy for me to plan walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins around my classes and training schedule. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy and find relaxing, so I’m happy to make it a consistent part of my day and week while still being reliable and attentive to each pet’s needs. I currently do not offer pet care in my own home since I live in an apartment complex. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am very respectful of their space and follow all instructions closely. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and stress-free while maintaining a clean and respectful environment in my clients’ homes.
