“Samantha did a great job taking care of our Finn. She treated him with the same care and understanding that we shoutout dog. We look forward to connecting with Samantha for future care of Finn.”

“Emily was wonderful!! It was great being able to leave our dogs at home in a familiar setting while we were out of town. Our dogs loved her visits and could tell she was a loving caring animal person right away. She was super dependable and thorough and was always quick to respond with any questions and concerns when unexpected things would pop up. It was great to get her daily updates about how our dogs were doing each day, complete with maps of where they walked and pictures of what they were doing each day. We were very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care, would certainly want to have her as our dog sitter in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to leave their pet with a reliable care giver, she’s the best! Kevin and Diann G. - Cooper and Maisy too”


“Karlina took excellent care of my cat while I was out of town. She not only fed her and cleaned up her litter box, but she also spent time playing with her and giving her cuddles. I will definitely ask Karlina to check in on my cat in the future.”

“Heather was wonderful! She took great care of our three cats, and we really enjoyed the daily updates. She made it possible for us to relax on our vacation. We will definitely book Heather again in the future!”

About: I watch my parents dogs often and have grown up around animals for my whole life. I also watch friends dogs and will let them out during the week I work remotely, so most of the day when I don’t have any meetings with my clients, I am able to get out of the house and let out your dogs and play with them while you are away! I have a pet friendly apartment complex with a dog park in walking distance and a big green lot for the dogs to play and use the bathroom.
“Mariya was great! She was communicative and sent pictures throughout her visit with my dog. She also asked additional questions to make sure all needs were met. Thanks so much Mariya!”


About: I have a heart for animals and ensuring that they are well taken care of! Growing up, I had dogs at home that helped improve my care techniques and desire to continue working with animals. I am working part-time at the moment, but would love to care for animals outside of work! My schedule is flexible and I would be willing to adjust to the needs of pets and their owners! I absolutely loving caring for pets and would be so happy to give them undivided attention to play, rest, etc. Their needs will always be priority!
About: I have owned, fostered, and volunteered with animals for over 10 years. Not only that, I have experience with providing animal therapy in a clinical setting for the last two years. Dogs and cats hold a big piece of my heart and I genuinely love to accommodate to their needs. I have experience raising puppies and kittens, taking care of elderly cats and dogs, and dogs and cats that have behavioral problems. I am familiar on how to care for dogs that have aggressive tendencies, anxiety, and hip problems. Likewise, I have experience handling cats with aggression and timidness. I am a small business owner and have days where I work from home. I could use that time to not only make extra money, but spend time with dogs and cats as well! I make sure to provide as much affection, activity, and attention to my pets to the best of my ability. Which I ensure the same treatment is given to your pets too. Depending on what service you would like me to provide, I am more than happy to go on long walks with your dog, offer enrichment, or maybe you have a lapdog that just needs a temporary companion. I am dependable and have the experience and genuine care and trust to ensure your pet has the best experience possible.
About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve worked with playful puppies, shy rescues, and older dogs who need a slower, more gentle approach. I’m especially patient and attentive, whether that means reinforcing basic training, sticking to a detailed routine, or just giving extra cuddles and reassurance. What makes me different is how much I truly treat every pet like family. I don’t just “watch” pet, I bond with them. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student doing all online classes, so my schedule can quite be flexible! I have reliable transportation as well. I only have hour long workouts that can be moved to whatever time preferred. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific preferences, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. Safety is always a top priority. I’m careful to secure doors and entry points to prevent escapes, keep the environment clean and hazard-free, and respect any household rules you have in place. I also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems off.

About: Dog walking and pet sitting was my first job growing up, helping neighbors and friends with their pets. I’ve always had a love for animals and grew up around dogs, so spending time with them comes naturally to me. I believe pets are family, and I take extra care to treat each one like my own, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I currently have multiple days off mid-week which allows me the flexibility to help out while you are at work on out of town. Currently I’m not available to host at my home, although I do have two cats, and had one dog until she passed away last year; they all run a tight ship.
“We had a meet and greet with Destany before hiring her and we (my cats and I) loved her immediately! While I was away, I left detailed instructions that Destany followed perfectly! She went above and beyond to care for my cats and sent a ton of pictures! Amazing first experience with Rover and I will definitely be asking Destany to come back!”

“Kayla F, who did drop-in visits for my girl dog Luna, was great. She gave Luna extra attention and love, and sent pictures and updates from each visit. I would definitely use her again.”


About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life so I’ve had the opportunity to love and care for guinea pigs, hamsters, dogs and cats. I have personally trained my dogs to ensure their behaviors are socially appropriate so if pet training is an additional service you’re looking for, I’m more than happy to assist with that. I am also experienced with administering oral and topical medications, trimming nails, expressing anal glands, and cleaning ears. I am open to overnight stays, training puppies, and basic care (feeding, walks, baths, grooming, etc). My schedule is very flexible so as long as you communicate when you need my services, there shouldn’t be a problem with me being available. I love animals and most importantly I love being able to help people in my community so I’m more than happy to coordinate with your schedule! My top priority is to make sure you, as their owner, feel comfortable with my abilities to care for your fur babies and that they feel safe and loved when being cared for by me. If there’s something you prefer I abstain from (letting your pet play at a dog park, etc.) or perhaps something specific you would like me to do while caring for your pet I’m more than happy to oblige. I want you to be care free knowing that your fur baby is in good hands. You have my commitment to think of their individual needs and always love/care for your pet as if they were my own. My schedule is extremely flexible so feel free to provide me with your schedule and I’m sure we can figure something out for your fur babies. I have a screened in pool that will always be supervised if your pet is staying in my home. In regard to caring for your animal in your household, I promise to follow any set routines your pet has whether that’s being put in their crate if I’m not there, being fed a certain amount of food, etc.
“Second time booking and once again couldn’t have went any better than it did. She leaves great updates, always takes care of my kitty and makes it so I can have an enjoyable vacation knowing my princess is being well taken care of. I will continue to book with her for all my future trips”
