“Monica was great to work with! She was flexible in planning, communicative about her visits, and patient and loving towards our dog. She put in a lot of effort to keep our dog active and comfortable while we were away. We will plan to book her again in the future!”


“Amazing as always, great attention to detail, and very commutative!”


“We love Ky!! She is very communicative, thoughtful, timely, polite, and amazing with our (crazy) puppy! Our pup loves when she comes over, she spends good quality time with her, and communicates very well with us throughout her visits. We will continue to book with Ky as long as she’s available! Highly recommend ⭐️”


“Our dogs are a bit of a handful and Ash did a great job! They got lots of love and attention and we felt very safe with her here. Would definitely recommend!”


“Jenevieve totally saved our vacation! I had originally hired another Rover sitter to drop in on our dog while we were on vacation. The other sitter didn't show up for 2 visits. Luckily I was able to book super last minute with Jenevieve and she is awesome! She was always there on time to take care of my dog. He is 15 and takes heart meds, so it's important that he gets them twice a day. She seemed to really care for my dog and sent pictures every visit. I was totally impressed with her attention to his care. If you are looking for a great sitter, look no further!”



“My animals love Cory. He goes above and beyond, even taking my ten year old Pom Lily home with him during tornado warnings. I never have to worry with Cory taking care of my animals. He’s very responsible and kind.”


“Christina cared for our 2 cats for 8 days. Once daily drop in visits and she was wonderful. I cannot reccomend her enough. If you are looking for kitty care, contact her. You wont be sorry.”

“Andrea was on time for each visit and went above and beyond with the communication and photos! Looking forward to having her back for any future needs. Thank you!!!!”


“LIFE SAVER in puppy visits. Communicative, responsive.”


“Allison was a fantastic sitter for our cat Millie! She was very attentive and communicative throughout our trip with daily updates. I knew that Millie was in good hands and she sure showed it once we returned home. Will book again!”


“Brad was top notch, we’re so happy we found him! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back home from vacation. Brad was punctual and we didn’t have to worry at all with our dogs in his hands. In fact, we immediately booked again with Brad and look forward to having him back. Thank you so much, Brad!”


“Tanya took great care of our two cats while we were away! She stopped in to give them some love each day and provided us with nice updates and photos. We will absolutely rebook with her in the future!”

About: I have been watching the pets of neighbors, friends, and family for as long as I can remember. Whether it is dropping by for a visit while an owner is at work, or spending the week with dogs while their parents are on vacation, I’m ready! I am a student in flight school currently working towards getting my flight instructor certificate, with a lot of free time to watch your pets! I treat your home like my own! Very cleanly with a focus on detail and caring for pets to the owners request. As a pet owner myself, I understand accidents can happen and am always ready to clean up.

About: I had to put down my best friend of 13.5 years. A German Shorthair named Zeus.I cherished every day with that dog. I wasn’t going to dive into getting another dog, so rover was my best option :) I fully trained him, never needed a kennel, never bit a soul. I will give your pet(s) the same love and affection I gave my Zeuser. On top of that, I love to train dogs and can instill some obedience in them as well(if necessary). Big, small, I love em all :) My business partner and I manage a company together, so I work my own hours. I’m the definition of a flexible sitter, leaving the house once a (week)day for the gym. Other than that, myself or my girlfriend are at the house showing your pet the love they deserve I have a fully fenced in yard, so your pet will get plenty of play time and exercise! It’s just my girl n me here after losing my best friend, so it’s unlikely your pet will ever need to be kenneled unless they’re extremely wild, or destroying my furniture, or I’m watching other dogs as well and they aren’t getting along.

About: I am an experienced pet sitter with both personal and professional experience with animals of all species, temperaments, age, and health status. I have multiple years of experience in both emergency and general practice clinics and am thus confident in my ability to handle pets, distribute medication as needed, and recognize and respond to emergencies. Any animal in my care will be treated as my baby! ❤️ As a veterinary student, my schedule offers flexibility due to lunch breaks and large gaps between classes. I would love to share my daily study-break walks with your furry friend or spend the weekend with a study buddy while you’re away. I am unable to have a dog of my own right now and would be absolutely THRILLED to spend time with yours! My priority is always the animal’s safety and comfort. Whether that means showering your pet with lots of love or respecting their personal space, my goal is to provide your pet with a positive experience in my care.

About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life and have always had pets, ranging from hedgehogs to donkeys! I am very passionate about animal care and ensuring all animals are pampered and well-loved. My family and I recently lost our two oldest pups, 16-year-old queen diva ZuZu Bailey and 10 year old loveable doofus Bandit. They were huge parts of our life and we miss them terribly, but through the loss we gained Stevie Nicks and Princess Buttercup. They love to play with others! They are accompanied by 2 cats who are treated like royalty and have their own enclosed catio with tunnels. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, as well as giving medications or tending to special needs. Your pet(s) will be in a safe environment and receive the same love and attention as ours! I teach part-time, so I am often home during weekdays and always during summers. When I do work, I am only a short distance and can easily come home during the day to check on the furry friends. Our fenced, spacious yard is perfect for galavanting and play. Our youngest pup is still learning not to chew the remote and is kenneled only if she will be alone for an extended amount of time. Otherwise, dogs are free to roam in our house!

“Mackenzie is super reliable and I trust them to give my dog the care she needs and be in my home while I’m at work! I love getting the videos and pictures that they send me”


About: I have had pets of all shapes and sizes, all phases of life for my own entire life. I love getting to know the personalities of the pets in my life to make us both comfortable and confident in our environment! I am currently working part-time so I have a lot of availability to work out a schedule that works for you and your furry friend. I am happy to discuss special needs or extra details important for making your four legged family member feel safe and cared for while you are away.

Coleman R.
“Coleman has helped care for our pets for over 5 years. He is extremely dependable and follows directions for care and medicine perfectly. Coleman loves animals and it shows in how he greets them, and how they greet him when he returns. They are so excited!! Coleman goes above and beyond in taking care of not only our pets, but our home as well. He is a very conscientious young man. Coleman is our first choice when we need someone to take care of our pets. If you want to know your pet will be well taken care of, Coleman is your guy.”


Jaden B.Star Sitter
“My little brother Jaden is a very patient, compassionate and understanding individual. I personally have 3 degrees in science and have worked intimately with a wide variety of animals in a number of geographic locations and have a deep respect for animals and wildlife of all shapes and sizes. I see much of these same attributes in my little brother. He recently put down his dog of 14 years due to failing health in his old age. He was a very dedicated and empathetic dog owner. I feel this would be a great opportunity for him to keep dogs in his life without having to jump back into a long term commitment right away.”


Natalie K.
“Natalie is an exceptional pet caregiver. She is reliable, attentive, and truly loves animals. Every time she cares for my pets, they are happy, well-fed, and excited to see her. I highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter. She goes above and beyond to ensure pets are comfortable and cared for with the utmost attention. She even goes as far as sending videos and updates and spends hours playing with the animals.”


Robbie H.Star Sitter
“Robbie has watched my grouchy old lady cat for me multiple times and goes above and beyond each time. She brought lunch over to sit with her while she checked on food and water levels to give her some cuddles and social time. She takes care of all animals as if they were her own and is the best of the best! Fully recommend - 5 stars !! 🙃”
