“For my first time using Rover I wasn’t sure what to expect. Lauren did a great job with my “kids”. Both cats took their turn being shy with her but she had the patience to wait until they came out to see her on their terms. I liked that she gave me updates about the visit so I could give her real-time feedback on them. I will definitely use Lauren again!”


“Mary did an amazing job taking care of our cat Lucy for 4 days. We just moved to a new state and had to find a new Rover - from day 1 Mary has been professional, prompt, knowledgeable, and kind. With previous Rovers, Lucy has been so scared that she has gone on a hunger strike or peed on things while we were away; but with Mary, Lucy felt comfortable enough to eat her food and take her meds, and we returned home to a very happy cat (and nothing was peed on!). Mary truly has a gift! We are so thankful to have found Mary to watch our cat and I’d absolutely recommend her to others!!”


“Thanks, Maggie, for taking great care of our kitties! It’s always nice to have peace of mind while traveling and receiving photos of your pets does just that! Thanks for loving on them and being professional and courteous!”


“10/10 highly recommended. We had Sarah do drop in visits once per day for our cats over Christmas vacation. We were really nervous to leave our cats for a week because this was our first vacation since having them. We have one cat who is absolutely terrified of strangers and would prefer to hide under the bed all day and another cat who likes to sneak out the front door and explore. Sarah came in on the first day and became best friends with BOTH of my cats. Even my shy cat greeted her every day after and played with her throughout the visit. She did such an amazing job at keeping my cats inside, fed, and happy! My cats had such a good time while we were gone that they weren’t even bothered that we left! Sarah is a lifesaver for us and we will never stop recommending her!! Book today!”


About: What sets me apart is my deep-rooted passion for dogs, backed by multiple years of hands-on training experience. As an ABC (Animal Behavior College) graduate, I offer expertise that ensures top-notch care. My lifelong journey with dogs makes me both knowledgeable and naturally attuned to their needs. I blend professionalism with an easy-going demeanor, making your pup feel comfortable and loved. Your furry family members deserve the best, and I’m here to provide it! I am a working dog trainer. I am available Friday-Sunday from 12:00 am to 8:00 pm, with ample time to dedicate to your pups. I provide a nurturing and safe space for them, filled with engaging activities and loving care. I prioritize creating a safe and trustworthy environment for every pet I care for by thoroughly understanding each dog’s special restrictions. I ensure tailored care during walks or visits and I consistently maintain awareness of our surroundings. I do this by choosing secure paths and following any specific guidelines provided to guarantee their safety and happiness.

“Brandi was extremely helpful last minute despite it being the busy holiday season. She is great with communication and giving extreme affection to your loved ones. I have no doubt you will be worried one bit with her in charge!”


About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I can remember, I have had a pet throughout my whole life so I’m used to there company. I will be taking some summer classes but they’re online so I’ll be able to work around it. With that I should be free most afternoons on weekdays and maybe on weekends. I have a nice place to walk you dog and a near by park to take then to since I don’t have a big enough backyard space.

About: I had a dog for a long time and always took care of him. A bunch of family friends always want me to take care of their animals. Also spend time caring for my grandparents horse. I can take dogs on walks during the day and sometimes at night when i don’t have to work!! I’m willing to do anything just have good communication!! Cats and dogs are allowed on beds and couches and we have a yard that is not fenced but dogs love it and still can play outside.

About: I have dog sat for multiple friends and family. I have also worked at a doggy daycare where I learned how to keep multiple dogs safe and happy. I am currently working part time at another job but in my free time I will also be doing this to make a little more money, while having fun and being active. In my home I keep pets comfortable while also making sure they get everything they need including food/water/meds. There is also multiple dog parks next to my house I can take them to or just play with them outside my house. In a clients home I will do a lot of the same stuff plus any instructions given to me making sure everyone is comfortable in any situation.

About: I've grown up with pets my whole life, and my family has always had a variety of them. I’ve often been the go-to person to watch, feed, let out, and entertain friends' and family’s pets. I also love training puppies and have some solid experience with it! I am a student so I am usually gone for 1-3 hours early afternoon during the week but I am available after for your pups! I live in a complex in a nice community with sidewalks that are practically meant for dog walking! I also have no pets currently living with me so all the attention is on your fur baby

“Monique was willing to do a couple of drop ins after I messaged her last minute, and was able to drop in during the middle of the day, which I was ecstatic for. My pups fell in love with her almost instantly. She kept them busy for the length of the drop in, and they were exhausted that night. We’ll be using Monique again.”


About: I have had dogs or cared for dogs my entire life! I currently have a 3 year old Poochon named bertram, and would love to care for your pets! Dog walking and caring for them is truly enjoyable. I am currently working online doing content moderation, I make my own schedule and work only when I want to. I am fully open most weeks, with very little obligation at the moment. Specific Rules will always be followed in order to maintain your trust that your pet is in good hands. I will go over things with you in detail to make sure you feel comfortable. Specific instances will depend on the individual pet situation.

About: I’ve lived with a wide variety of dogs and cats my whole life, from American Pit Bull Terriers and Rottweilers to Chihuahuas, and Pugs, so I’m confident handling all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Caring for animals is second nature to me. Currently, I share my home with an American Shorthair cat, so pet care is already part of my everyday routine, from morning cuddles to evening playtime. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family. If it's feeding, walks, playtime, or medications, I stick to what they're used to and give them lots of love and attention.

“The best! Traver took amazing care of our two dogs! Traver was super fast communicating and very accommodating. I felt so at ease knowing how well our doggies were being taken care of. We got picture updates and a report at the end of each visit! If you are looking for a sitter look no further!”


About: I’ve grown up my whole life with both cats, dogs and plenty of other animals. I have always been responsible for walking, feeding, bathing and taking care of my pets. I am very passionate about all animals! I currently work full time but am out by 2pm. I have every monday and tuesday off and every other weekend so I have a wide range of availability! I have very high respect for clients home and belongings. I have been trusted with lots of baby/dogsitting and have always had good reviews. I make sure animals are taken care of and happy and the house is picked up.

About: I’ve taken care of Pets and had pets since I was 10 years old. I’m very energetic and reliable and I love walking and playing with my own pets. I am currently working only part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets and give them lots of attention and exercise. I have one dog that is super friendly that can be in the crate or on our bottom level. We have one outdoor cat that pretty much stays in our barn. Our kids are very good with pets and I love them. We all have experience with overnight boarding of puppies and adult dogs.

Matthew B.
“Matthew is the best! We needed to be away from home for several hours for work and did not want to send the dogs to daycare, so I asked Matthew to come and watch the dogs for a few hours. We have two very active, and needy, fur-babies. One of them is extremely outgoing and loves people...the other one, not so much. He's not mean, he's just shy and doesn't go up to people right away. But when Matthew walked in the door, for some reason my shy one ran to him and just showed so much love! I was shocked! Matthew did an incredible job walking them, playing with them and getting them nice and tired for when we got home that day. He took tons of pictures and kept sending them to us to show that they were having a great time. He even took them to the dog park for us! My fur-babies LOVE Matthew! He was great with them and we can't wait to use Matthew again!”

Jessica M.
“Jessica has the 'gift' with dogs. She goes out of her way to care for dogs that do not belong to her with love and compassion. She can take control of high stress situations by being firm but calm. I trust her with any animal I have or any animals belonging to my family.”
