1. Katherine R.
“Katie takes care of horses, as an assistant professional trainer now. She is the most in-tune and concerned trainer that I know of when it comes to looking out for the horses' safety and well-being. I am sure that she would do the same for a dog. She loves dogs and other animals and has always been very concerned with seeing that animals receive the proper care and attention. She is intelligent, responsible, and hardworking. She would be an asset to your team of caregivers.”


2. Michael H.
“I’ve known Michael for years now. He is extremely trustworthy, responsible, and respectful. He takes all of his jobs seriously and has experience working with dogs. He also has experience working with children and families so I think he would be a perfect fit for rover.”


3. Cathy S.
“For over two decades, I’ve known Cathy to be the most tender and caring person to others, her own animals and theirs! She is well versed in the care of several, including: dogs (of all sizes), cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, reptiles, birds, fish and even spiders! She is the best!”


4. Amanda T.
“Amanda is always attentive and loving towards my dog. I get pics of visits and she lets me know when she is heading to my place. My dog loves her. Always happy to see her.”


5. Robert Y.

“Robert was amazing! He helped me at the last minute with my two dogs. He was extremely good with my boys, and they're not easy to deal with. I highly recommend Robert!!”


6. Sherri G.
“I would trust Sherri anytime with our pooches. She's one of the most caring and responsible people I know and I have never had any issues with her when watching our dogs. I can guarantee you will find her to be the perfect caretaker for any of your pet sitting needs.”


7. Logan M.
“Logan is absolutely amazing with pets! She cared for my three dogs, including a very energetic puppy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the moment she arrived, all of my dogs took to her instantly. It was clear she has a natural connection with animals and a calming presence that put everyone at ease. She stayed in my home for five days and treated it with respect, keeping everything clean and in order. Most importantly, she treated my dogs like her own, giving them love, attention, and plenty of playtime. The fact that my puppy learned a new trick while she was here just shows how engaged and patient she is. Logan went above and beyond by sending me lots of pictures and updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my babies were happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. I trust Logan completely and would recommend her a hundred times over. She’s responsible, kind, and clearly passionate about what she does. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their pets!”

About: 5+ years of experience with dog walking, pet sitting, and caring for cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. I provide reliable, loving care — whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just relaxing with your pets. After going through chemotherapy, I’ve grown even closer to my own pets — they’ve been attached to my hip these past 8 months and have brought me so much comfort. I hope to offer that same sense of safety, love, and security to your pets while you’re away. 🐾 I recently finished chemotherapy and am using this time to focus on healing and getting back on my feet. Because of that, I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days for pet sitting and drop-ins — other than a few doctor appointments here and there. I’m happy to work with you to schedule visits that fit your needs! 🐾 🏡 1️⃣ Respect the Home Always enter/leave carefully — lock doors, follow instructions. Keep the home tidy: clean up any pet messes, wipe paws, don’t leave supplies out. Follow any house rules (off-limits areas, couch use, etc). 🐕🐈 2️⃣ Meet Pet’s Basic Needs Feed and provide fresh water exactly as instructed. Clean litter boxes (cats) or yard/pads (dogs) each visit. Check that pets are safe and comfortable (temperature, bedding, toys). 🎾 3️⃣ Exercise & Enrichment Walk dogs according to client’s request (time, distance, leash style). Play with cats and dogs to keep them stimulated and happy. Rotate toys if needed; give love and attention. 💊 4️⃣ Medication (if needed) Only administer meds if client provided clear written instructions. Note the time given and report to owner after. 📸 5️⃣ Communicate With Client Send photo/video updates each visit. Let them know how their pet is doing (eating, behavior, any concerns). Ask questions if anything seems off — better to check than guess. 🧹 6️⃣ Before You Leave Check doors/windows are locked. Check that pet has access to food/water and safe areas. Tidy up any supplies you used. Send final update to client.

“She is amazing. It was a very last minute dog walk and she was more then willing to help out. My dog was able to pee and poo and let out some energy. She was understanding of some confusing things and helped out with supplying some fresh water to my dog. I am definitely rebooking her again!”


10. Melinda B.
“Melinda was amazing with my three dogs! I was nervous to leave them with someone for the first time but she is so sweet and you can tell she genuinely cares. She even sent me pics of my pups while she had them which made me feel great. Her home is beautiful and has tons of space for dogs to play. They came home happy and well taken care of! I would use her again and again.”


11. Malik M.
About: First I always get a feel for the animals’ daily routine with their owner. I like the pets to feel safe and secure with me so I never stray far from their established routines. I always pick up after myself and everything is always where you left it. I’m a hotel manager so with the exception of my work shifts I make spending time with your pets my first priority. I factor in gas into my prices so I’m always able to make sure your pets are happy and well fed! I do roll call when entering and exiting the front door. I always make sure items are out of reach for the animals while I’m out of the home. I can always send the owner updates like pictures or videos throughout the stay. :)


12. Shelby B.
“Shelby is amazing with special needs dogs! My Maggie is insulin dependent diabetic and extreme anxiety and I won’t leave her with anyone but Shelby!”


13. Alyssa M.

About: I have taken care of my own dogs, neighbors dogs, and friends dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I am always all of their first calls when they need some last minute walks, feedings, or overnight sittings. I am an independent contractor so I set my own schedule outside of dog walking so I am always pretty available. I am also a college athlete so my schedule can be fairly hectic during the day, but my evenings are always wide open for lots of attention and play time When caring for your dog in your home, I will make sure to follow all instructions you have left me and ensure I contact you if I have any questions that could put your dogs safety at risk. I want to ensure their owner has peace of mind that they’re fur baby is being well taken care of. I am a college student and a student athlete so mornings/afternoons can be a little hectic. I am still able to provide some play time and attention with that. However, my evening are always wide open to provide even extra attention and play time for the dogs. I always make sure to keep them a priority in my schedule either way! I want to make sure to follow the dog’s normal routine to put them in as much ease as possible. Being left with a stranger can sometimes be stressful, but I will be sure to try and ease that for them.


14. Naomi S.

“If you are looking for an awesome and amazing pet sitter, look no further than Naomi! She has both experience with animals; both farm and suburban homes. She is kind and nurturing. Her work ethic is dedication and diligence. You will definitely be fully satisfied when you choose to have Naomi care for your precious pet.”


15. Meg W.
“Meg is great with all pets and is a huge animal lover. She would be super attentive and wonderful with your pets and definitely treat them like her own. Your pet would be in excellent hands and you would be blessed with her care. Keith T.”


16. Maya R.
About: I've taken care of many different dogs, from chihuahuas, Pyrenees, weenie dogs, all the way to cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more. I love animals, and I am willing to learn more about different breeds too! As of right now I am not working since I am a stay at home mom, so she is my working buddy (six months will not let play with the pets) so I am free pretty much anytime besides Sunday morning; because I like going to church. I can set up whatever routine you choose at your home, whether that is crating or letting them sleep out the couch, and so forth. I cannot do sitting at my house since I have large dogs that are protective.


17. Lisa L.

“Incredible service! Mg dog had a blast, and Lisa was super helpful and communicative!”


18. Martha L.
“Martha is an animal lover and has a mini farm with lots of amazing animals that she treats with the upmost of care. She is an amazing kind, loving person who is very responsible very respectful and would do a great job taking care of your pet.”


19. Allison S.
“Allie is my go-to babysitter for my sensitive 7 year-old mixed breed dog, Louise. Lou can be very picky about people and can sometimes be reactive to other dogs, but whenever she is with Allie, I never worry about her. Allie is kind, caring, and attentive to animals big and small. She truly treats Louise as well as she does her own dogs whenever she is pet sitting for me.”


20. Emma H.
“Emma did an amazing job caring for Olive for 5 days while we were out of town. Emma followed all of our directions and did so much more! Olive got long walks outside and lots of cuddle time inside. Emma provided updates and pictures that showed that Olive was feeling very at home. I am always nervous bringing Olive to a new sitter, but I immediately felt at ease that Olive would be happy with Emma. Emma was very responsive to texts and super easy to work with. She is very sweet and kind and it is easy to see that she loves dogs. I would be very happy to have Emma watch Olive anytime we need to be away. (Funny side note - we don’t often play fetch with Olive, but obviously she did that quite a lot with Emma because since she has been home she keeps bringing us toys that she wants us to throw for her. I don’t think we are responding up to Olive’s new standard.🤣).”
