Estafanny did an AMAZING job watching my Rufus 😊 He absolutely LOVES her, he already knows her name 😂 I plan on having her watch my furbaby every time I'm out of town and to check on him when I have to work late. She is very responsible and communicative when watching my baby boy.

This is my second dog that Brittany and Branson have cared for. This time it is a very energetic Cavapoo named Wyatt. Brittany is always prompt, notified me of any concerns and leaves a full update of her visit and a few pictures. Wyatt is always in a great mood when I come home and obviously was well cared for and had some fun too!!! Couldn't be happier with his care!!

About: I will love and care for your pet like it is my own. My #1 priority is keeping your fur (scaley?) babies happy, while also keeping you in the loop with pictures and messages! I don't have any breed restrictions whatsoever, they're all wonderful to me. I have become a "go-to" for pet parents of, eccentric, or nervous dogs because I can understand their boundaries and comfort levels and adjust my habits and attitude to accommodate them until they realize I am just there to love them. I look forward to hearing from you! Enjoy your time away knowing your fur baby (babies) will be spoiled as much as possible with me watching them! I love animals and being able to assist people with their pets is my favorite job. I have always cared for pets, whether it be my own or sitting, as well as volunteered at shelters and facilities tending to animals. I spend most of my time with your pet when I am given the trust of their care and access to your home. Outside of general errands I spend my time with your pet so they don't feel anxious of your absence. Other home tasks can also be done within reason as well. I am there so you can feel at ease being away.

Medea is THE GREATEST dog lover ever. I have worked for her since I moved into Rockford and am so pleased to have her be in our lives. Despite not having the opportunity to socialize with her, I absolutely feel blessed to have her around. I work overnight shift so during my work week I tend to be too tired to Walk my Matilda as much as she needs but I love that Medea comes in and when im awoken by Matildas over excitement it warms my heart to know that she Loves Medea. Since ive had her work with us my Matilda is happier she only barked once at Medeas arrival and when she saw her she was happy. I think Matilda tends to get happiest the days she has her walks with Medea. I would recommend her services to everyone I know with pets. Most amazing person ever. Thank you Medea for being a blessing in our lives. 😃🐶

About: I’ve owned and taken care of various breed sizes my entire life, as well as provided pet sitting. I have experience with staying in the clients home, providing a unique diet, and caring for elderly animals. I am currently working part time, only 20 hours a week. I have some days in which I am less available which we could discuss, but typically am free a majority of the time. My house is a very pet friendly home with one small dog in the home. I live near a dog park and would feel more than comfortable taking them!

Our dog Annie absolutely loves Ethan! When Annie was a puppy we hired him to check on on her during the day while we were at work. Not only did he reliably let her out for bathroom breaks, but he also took the time to play and engage with her during lunchtime. It provided such peace of mind knowing that she was well taken care of during the day! I highly recommend Ethan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets!

About: I have had dogs, cats, small animals. I have a lot of patience, and I'm good at taking direction. I'll be sure to do task as you would. I like life to have consistency. Makes it easy for owner and animal. Love animals. Trying something new, and exciting out. My schedule is open. Recently quit my job in manufacturing, did that for 10+ years. I love being outside and I love walking or running. Sometimes the dogs just want to run, I understand :D Fenced in yard. No animals, currently. Our 13 year old dog passed away, in april. We do have a well behaved 3 year old boy who loves animals. If your animal is not good with kids, we can definitely accommodate.

About: I have had dogs all my life, I currently have two small chihuahua/ yorkie mixs that are brother and sister (Gus & Sadie) that I treat more like children then dogs! I have experience with big dogs as well! I'm a stay at home mom so I am home most of the time other then appointments or going to the park, I do work 2 days a week but my partner will be home on those days so someone is always home. I can follow the same schedules you have for your pet or any special instructions, feeding, diets etc. If your dog likes to cuddle I allow dogs on the couch make them feel more at home.

Kelly watched our four legged kids while we were on vacation. She even was kind enough to text us pictures while we were away. Although we missed our dogs, it was of great comfort to know Kelly was in charge and we need not worry about them. I highly recommend her services. Our dogs enjoy their time with her, an added perk!

I just had to share how amazing Abigail is! She's been walking my pup Elena through Rover.com, and honestly, I couldn't be happier. Working remotely, I needed someone reliable, kind, and flexible with my schedule. Abigail has been all that and more. I can't always give Elena the attention she needs during the day, but knowing that Abigail's there is a huge relief. She's super responsible and always keeps me informed about how the walks go. I feel totally comfortable leaving Elena in her care. If you're looking for someone awesome to look after your furry friend, Abigail is the one. She totally deserves recognition for being so great at what she does! Cheers, Doug

Jaymee took care of our dog and 2 cats while we were on vacation. In the past the dog had gotten sick “pining” for us, this time it didn’t happen. Jaymee exercised the dog, and played with the cats, fed them, kept the water fountain clean etc while we were gone. We will definitely call her again when we need her!

LaShay is an amazing pet sitter with a golden heart. She goes beyond the call of duty. The animals in her care are treated like family. She sends pictures every few hours and takes the pups on a walk every 2 hours.
