“Haley was fantastic! She read/followed all of my instructions and was very open with me about other responsibilities. My very spoiled senior seems to have loved her as well. We will definitely recommend Haley and be asking her to watch Sophie again.”

“We were very happy with Kenzie! She stayed with Ruby, who has separation anxiety, while we attended a wedding. She arrived on time and Ruby really liked her. I appreciated receiving pictures of a happy dog! We're looking forward to using Kenzie's services again.”

“Sarah did an amazing job with my dog, Scout. Scout is an anxious pup but she immediately loved Sarah. Sarah did a couple meet and greets prior to the stay so Scout would get used to her. She provided updates and pictures during the stay. Scout was well taken care of and given tons of love which allowed me to enjoy my vacation.”

“Delen was great! Very knowledgeable and clearly so devoted to her pets. We left our dog with her while he was recovering from a scratched cornea and felt totally confident in her ability to care for him.”

“Sydney is terrific with Duffy! She is responsive and did what she said she would do and gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. I look forward to bringing her back again.”

About: I was raised on a small family farm, and have cared for goats, chickens, ducks, pigs, and more while a part of that. As a child and teenager, I trained dogs through my local 4-H program, and later on started petsitting for family friends. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, cats, chickens, cows, pigs, goats, turtles, geese, canaries, ducks, and so many others, and I'm always willing to learn something new! I work full-time, night shifts during the week and mornings on weekends, but I'm typically only gone 8 hours max, so there's still plenty of time for me to provide plenty of care and attention to the pets! I typically stay overnight, and will either crate the pets if needed, or let them sleep with me, I wake up with them and spend my day hanging out with them, playing or just relaxing. I do my best to care for each pet as their owner would, to help minimize stress.
“Bailey was wonderful with Ace! Communication was terrific and we felt very comfortable having Bailey stay in our home while we were away. Highly recommend Bailey!”

“Rachel was a gift, I wish I found her sooner. From the meet & greet to the house sitting she was super easy to communicate with. Our dog loved her and followed her all over the house (sorry Rachel!). I would absolutely contact her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for some help.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was young. I’ve had dogs and cats of my own and have plenty of experience working with other people’s animals. I owned a dog that was aggressive/high energy so I am fully comfortable around dogs of all levels :) I absolutely adore cats also, I have two babies of my own and have cared for many cats in the past! I’m currently on a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of availability to care for pets anytime of day, and frequently if needed. I am gone some weekends in summer but am around most of the time. I have experience with many different animals, and ways of caring for them. Administering basic medication, crating, basic training, experience with dogs that are difficult. I provide every animal with the fullest extent of my love I can! I love to play with them, spend time hanging out and making sure they are properly cared for. I will always give them the same love and attention an owner would while working with them!
“Nicole is amazing! Our other sitter cancelled on us last minute and Nicole was super responsive and accommodating with the short notice. We have three dogs and one of them has leash aggression, which makes him more difficult to take on walks. She was very knowledgeable about those kinds of issues and really eased my mind that he would be in good hands. The house was so well taken care of and Nicole texted every day with updates and great pictures of the dogs. Overall it was a great experience and we’ll definitely be reaching out again for our next trip!”

“I highly recommend Christine! She was fantastic with my dog. I was able to completely enjoy my vacation knowing she was in such good hands. I received daily updates and pictures so I was able to see all the walks, playtime, snuggles, and love my dog was getting. Christine went above and beyond for my dog and I’m truly grateful. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Wow! Where do I start? I hate to give an excellent review, for fear everyone will snatch Melissa up & then she won't be available when we need her, but that wouldn't be fair to her...THIS YOUNG LADY IS AN ABSOLUTE GEM! This was my 1st experience with Rover (and Melissa) and I couldn't be happier with having her care for our sweet Scarlett and our home! Melissa met with us, before our trip, to meet Scarlett & see our house. She was in contact with us leading up to our trip, as well as while we were away...even facetiming with us, so that Scarlett could see us & hear our voice over the 10 days we were away! Melissa took such amazing care of Scarlett that we were surprised that she didnt decide to go live with Melissa. Lol Scarlett got to play with Melissa's dog, go to pickle ball and many other adventures, yet return to the comfort of her own home due to Melissa staying there. Knowing Scarlett was in such loving care provided us peace of mind and the ability to enjoy our trip. As a side note, Melissa took us to/from the airport and even offered to wash her sheets & towels, which was in no way expected. We returned to our house looking as if we'd never left! This young lady's mother should be proud to have raised such a loving and respectful young lady! We only hope that she will be available to care for Scarlett & our home in the future!”

“Shauna was great with out two dogs. She took great care of them and took care of the house. She kept us updated and sent pictures throughout her stay. I highly recommend her and will be asking her to dogsit again.”
About: Although I've never personally owned a dog, I have experience with pet sitting and walking dogs that belong to my freinds and family members. I am confident that my love for animals and my ability to follow instructions will ensure the safety and happiness of your dog! I work full-time Monday-Friday, however my work schedule is hybrid so it allows me to be flexible to cater to your needs! I am also free all day most Saturdays and Sundays. When I am in a client's home I am always respectful and professional. I understand the importance of following instructions and I promise to take care of your furbaby like they are my own!
About: Hi! I’m Mary. I am a stay at home mom of 5 year old twins and a 12 year old shihtzu mix. I became a dog walker 5 days a week in September of 2024 by chance and realized how much I love it. I’ve been around animals my whole life, currently including my 8 chickens! If you’re looking for a dog walker, I walk in all weather. I can also just pop in and hang out for a bit and let them out for a potty, change litter boxes, feed, etc! I am experienced with all types of dogs, cats, and other animals and I hope to meet yours too! Currently booked for weekly walks 12-1pm on Monday Tuesday and Fridays. Only other commitment is school drop off and pickup for my twins, otherwise open! I am open to all types of animal care and have experience with elderly dogs. I have cared for big and small dogs, cats, chickens, fish, etc.
