“Kristen is such a good pet sitter! She gave us detailed daily reports with pictures and updates. We were delayed getting home and she was able to extend her care without any issue. Our pets were well cared and she was quick with responses for any questions. She ensured our house was always locked up when she left and took care of bringing packages inside for us. We will definitely ask her to care for our pets and home in the future! Five stars!”

About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent, caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys. I currently share my home with two lovable pups, and I’m also a proud grandparent to three grand-doggies and one grand-kitten—yes, it's a full and furry family! With years of personal experience and a genuine passion for animals, I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every walk and pet check-in. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, including senior dogs needing a little extra love—whether it’s administering medications, helping with mobility, or just providing that gentle, loving presence they deserve. Before diving into pet care full-time, I was an elementary school teacher, which means patience, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own—with kindness, care, and lots of tail wags! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! Currently, I am available for drop ins and walks two times per day. This summer, my schedule is far more open and could easily fit additional times, as needed. I would follow whatever directions/guidelines are provided for me so that your pet(s) routines are kept as close to what they are used to as possible.

“Michael was wonderful with my cat while I was traveling. Very kind, communicative and professional. He even left her an extra little bag of treats. Highly recommend.”


“We officially hired David on rover and as always everything was great. The cats love him and were all so happy. Everything was taken care of properly and as asked. Can’t recommend enough. I also appreciate that there is no extra charge for having more than one cat. It’s never made sense to me that I have to pay someone coming into my home for the same half hour block of time more just because we have more than one pet. Thanks so much!”


“My cat adored Ali. They played and cuddled, and of course Ali fed her well and groomed her and took good care of her and the house. She reliably kept her appointments for two weeks and sent me great photos and messages twice a day. I will absolutely use Ali's services again!”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have spent years caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. I also have some light training experience. I’m a night owl but can be up early too, so I’m happy to take on late night or early morning pet care as needed. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of care needs. I’m calm, confident, and attentive with animals, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm a mature, patient, and responsible woman with an enthusiastic love for animals. I would be honored if you you'd allow me to put my years of responsibility and experience to use with your fur family! I have a very flexible schedule and a huge heart. Pets have given me so much for so little in exchange. I have all the time and energy for the doggos that need it! I have a two-story townhouse with a fenced-in yard. We have a dog run in our gated community and several parks close by for sniffing exploration.

“We are so appreciate of Mindy’s great care while we were gone. Her experience and knowledge gave us true peace of mind and her communication about the visits was a wonderful bonus. We traveled home knowing everything was well - we found happy pets and a cleaner-than-necessary home! We will certainly use Mindy’s services again.”


“Will 100% use Mariah again! She provided detailed updates & photos, took my dog for walks & play time. Communication was great and I’m confident my dog was well cared for by Mariah while I was out of town.”


“Jesus was super friendly and our pups took to him right away. I received pictures daily and came back to 2 happy and safe dogs! Thank you Jesus will definitely see you again soon!”


“Sara did a great job with taking care of my little buddy and great communication throughout the entire process. Gave me peace of mind while I was away from him for the first time. Would happily go with her again”


“Rachel took great care of our three cats while we were away for 10 days. She communicated well, and got pictures of cats at each day she visited (except for our known shy guy). I have no hesitation booking with her again. Thank you.”


“Brittany was great! She was able to help out on short notice and was flexible. She was great with my dogs and communicating with me. This was my first time using Rover and everything was easy and went great. I would definitely ask for Brittany again.”
