“Erin was great, she was able to fit me into her schedule on super short notice due to a medical emergency. She sent tons of pics and did great with my cat, I would not hesitate to use her pet sitting services again.”
“First time Rover user and I picked Lauren based on her 5-star reviews. Lauren was great, she is super nice, she paid attention to some dog specific things, and most importantly the dogs loved her. She is highly recommended and I definitely will be using her again in the future.”
“This was our first experience with using Rover.com and it couldn't have gone better! We met Carrie the day before and were very comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care and giving her the key to our home. We received updates and photos of our pups while in her care. We were able to enjoy our time away without having any worries. We would recommend her to others and will definitely be calling on her again in the future. Thanks Carrie!!”
About: Pets deserve respect and quality care. They are dependent and rely on us. That is why their safety, health and happiness is of the utmost importance to me. They bring me joy with their love and individuality. I grew up with 2 dogs, and I currently have 2 dogs that I raised from puppies. I work full time during the day, Monday through Friday, so I am available most weekday evenings (6pm-9pm) and some weekends to for dog sitting. I will come to you to watch your dog(s). I can feed/water, let in/out of the house or walk on a leash to go to the bathroom, play and cuddle your dog(s)
“Sarah was a great communicator! very professional and friendly. would definitely book again!”
“Kylee was so fantastic with our pups! They love her! Definitely booking with her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Justina — a dedicated animal caregiver with extensive experience in walking, training, and caring for dogs of all kinds. I’ve worked hands-on with dogs of every temperament, including reactive dogs who need extra patience and structure. I volunteered as an apprentice with the Humane Society, where I focused on dog training and behavior, giving me a strong foundation in canine communication and handling. I currently own two amazing dogs, including a senior dog with extensive arthritis, so I understand the unique care and compassion older pets need. I’ve fostered dogs of all breeds and ages, from high-energy puppies to seniors needing mobility support. I’ve also nursed parvo puppies, gaining valuable experience with medical aftercare and fragile animals. I feel 100% confident caring for pets of all ages, whether it’s a tiny kitten or a graying, slow-moving senior dog. With a deep understanding of dog behavior, a calm approach, and a heart for animals of every stage of life, I’m here to give your pets the care, patience, and attention they deserve. Whether they need structured exercise, medical support, or just a little love while you're away, I’ve got them covered. My schedule is very flexible, especially during the summer months when I do not work. I’m an early riser, so I’m available for morning walks, drop-ins, and training sessions—as well as midday and evening care. Whether you need a consistent weekly routine or last-minute help, I’m here to make things easier for you and your pet. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing loving, patient care tailored to their unique needs and personality. I’m always respectful of the owner’s home, belongings, and established boundaries to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for everyone. My goal is to help the pet feel safe and relaxed by following their regular routines as closely as possible and creating a calm, positive environment while I’m there.
About: I have had many pets through the years, in childhood and as an adult. I recently became a foster for Ruff Start, and have helped stray cats feel comfortable in-home to prepare for adoption. I'm available evenings and weekends during the school year. In the summer months, my schedule greatly opens up and I am available during the day as well. I have a fenced in yard if I host pets here, as well as a bathroom that can keep animals separated. If I come into homes, I can clean litter boxes, feed, take for walks, and give oral medications. I trim my cat's nails and an willing to try on client's cats if they'd like.
“Can’t recommend Andrea enough! She’s great with our dogs (who can be a lot), and sends adorable updates. A true dog lover! Knowing she is coming has given us so much peace of mind!”
About: I have had dogs for 24 years, cats for 16. My husband and I have fostered to adoption nearly 60 cats and dogs. After struggling to find quality affordable boarding care for our pets we have decided to open our home to others in the same situation. We have cared for puppies and kittens from 6 weeks up and have fully fenced yard. Our house has kids and pets but we are able to separate as needed. One adult works from home 3 days a week so it would be rare for your animal to be alone. Please just reach out and ask us questions to see if we are good fit for your pet to feel comfortable while you are gone. Josh currently works from home Monday and Friday. Jen and Josh are both home on weekends so there is plenty of time for play time or walks in our schedules. We also have a 10 and 13 year old available to help with extra playtime or attention needs. We do have experience with giving oral medication and eye ointments but not injections. We have a fully fenced yard and a 3 house levels to keep pets safe as needed. We have 2 very friendly dogs to keep your pet company but if they prefer to be alone there is enough space to keep them separate. We also have 2 cats that are very friendly to other animals but they can also be kept separate if needed. Our home has 3 kids (2 older and 1 baby) that have been taught to give animals respect and space. If you are comfortable with them interacting with your pet they can help or we can make sure there is only adults interacting with your pet.
About: No matter the breed or age of the dogs I have cared for, one thing remains the same - the love and affection they always share. I have over 24 years of experience caring for family dogs, and I really enjoy providing excellent care for other families' furry loved ones. I work remotely full-time from my home and am also able to work full-time from your home with Wifi. I am available to care for your pup(s) any day of the week. I have a large yard and will personally walk your dog in the yard as often as needed with a leash. I am available to take your dog for longer walks at least twice a day. I have a large indoor crate and dog beds if needed. I also have an outdoor kennel that is covered and shaded and has a dog house if your pup prefers to spend some time outside in good weather.
About: As a farm kid and animal lover, pet care is second nature. I showed livestock in high school and continue to train and handle dogs in AKC. I have thus established extensive experience with a wide range of intensive needs and emergency situations. I prioritize personalized, attentive, and loving care for my animals and I promise to uphold this standard for others. I look forward to working with you throughout my stay to provide updates and ensure the best care possible. I am a Grinnell College student with a vehicle on campus. I am willing to check in on pets between classes as needed, in the evening, overnights, and on weekends. I know that a change in caretaker is a huge stress on an animal by itself. I will do everything I can to minimize any other stresses on the animals by maintaining their routines and environments. I also value consistent communication throughout the stay because owners are the foremost experts on their animals. From experience, I know how far an update and a picture from home can go to make a vacation more enjoyable.
About: My family has had multiple pets throughout the years, taking in and watched other people's dogs. I love playing around and hanging out with all dogs, as long as their friendly. I'm a college student with a flexible and open schedule this summer, making me available to provide reliable care for your pets whenever you need it most. Whether it's a daily walk or occasional check-ins, your pets' comfort and routine will always be my priority. I treat your pets exactly how I'd treat my own, with lots of love, attention, and patience. I'll always follow your instructions carefully, making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable, whether we're playing in the yard or relaxing indoors. I also like to check in with pictures and quick messages, so you know they're doing great!

About: I have owned and taken care of numerous breeds of dogs. They range from all types of bully breeds, various mastiff breeds, terriers, and more. I am very comfortable with multiple types of dog personalities and have also trained several dogs. I am retired and able to spend quality time with your pet. Your pet will be in my home with me and my wife. I love to spend my time outside or relaxing in my large yard! I can offer numerous potty breaks and am flexible with various schedules. We live on a lake with 3 acres of land. Your pet will be one of our family members and treated well with lots of playtime and cuddling. I currently have one dog who is very friendly with other dogs. I have a large yard with alot of wooded areas and very low traffic streets around me. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on beds as we love to cuddle. However we follow your wishes, meaning if you prefer no bed then they will have plenty of dogs beds on the floor to sleep on.
About: I grew up with a very sweet English Setter and 2 cats. I would often watch my neighbors dogs for long periods at a time. I have also helped with taking care of newborn puppies and kittens. I am currently enrolled in online college courses. So my early morning and afternoons are available as many people are at work during those times of day. I adhere to your pet's established routines, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum comfort during my visits. Your pets receive undivided attention, playtime, and affection to keep them engaged and content. I strictly follow feeding and medication instructions, maintaining their health and hygiene meticulously. Beyond pet care, I keep an eye on your home, giving you peace of mind during your absence.
About: I've dog sat many dogs before, and am looking to start walking dogs! I have a reactive dog myself, so I am comfortable walking reactive dogs, I have trained my dog to perform 37 different tricks, as well as obedience commands. I'd love to work with your dogs as well! This summer, I am working half days, so I'll have plenty of time to take your dog(s) on a long walk while you are at work! I am used to walking reactive dogs, and feel confident enough walking other reactive dogs. I will crate your dog if you want, and use whatever tools/ collars you use while walking your dogs.
