“I'm so grateful to find Anna on Rover! She is very sweet and communicates really well which is very important to me when someone is with my babies! I highly recommend Anna if you need a pet sitter. She will really take the time to understand your pets needs.”


“I will definitely book Celeste again to take care of Sadie. I really like that Celeste is familiar with the temperament of Yorkies.Sadie was well taken care of and enjoyed her play time and snuggling up with Celeste. She seemed calm and peaceful when I came home and the place was clean and tidy. No accidents on the floor like a previous sitter had left.”


About: I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. There was always a pet at home. My best friend in elementary school was my cat, but we had wonderful dogs as well - I grew up with greyhounds. I’ve had a Great Dane, and cared for a Malamute, so size is no issue. If your baby has fur, I already love it. (And if your baby is hairless for whatever reason, I still love it!) At this point in my life, my schedule is entirely my own to command, so I’m able to open it up. My routines are flexible and I can do what’s needed. I’m happy to maintain whatever routine your pet is used to. Walking, crating, however you and your pets live life, I can support and continue.

“Amber is wonderful. She house sat/ pup sat for us for 4 nights and did a wonderful job. Not only did our pups accept her as one of the family, but she took excellent care of our home as well going above and beyond our expectations. We appreciated the pictures of our pups and she was great at communicating with us while we were gone. We will definitely be asking Amber to watch our pups in the future.”


“Anna did an excellent job caring for our two golden doodles, on short notice no less. She came right over after I contacted her to meet the dogs. They treated her like an old friend almost immediately, which told us everything we needed to know. Throughout the week, Anna was punctual, thorough, and kind. She is an excellent communicator, and truly knows how to care for animals. We feel lucky to have found her and will definitely utilize her services again in the future.”


“Naomi has done drop in visits and also house sitting for us several times and our fur babies always seem very happy and well taken care of. Can’t say enough nice things about her!”


About: I’ve taken care of a verity of pets and owned anything from fish, Reptiles, Rodents, Cats, and Dogs. I can also do additional tasks such as cleaning and plant care. I am versatile and can stay at the house or commute. I am also experienced at giving medications to animals as well. Feel free to ask me any questions regarding the sitting or my experience related to pet sitting. I can let sit anytime before/after classes. I’m am currently attending Liberty University and am taking classes throughout the week. Feel free to ask any questions related to the schedule. I make sure that the animals are comfortable, fed, and refreshed before resting. If I am eating at the place I’m house sitting I make sure the animals are fed before I eat (also makes it easier to avoid prying eyes watching me while I eat). Before I end the day I make sure everything is done and that the house is secure. Before the owners come back I make sure to clean and wash everything (if the owners don’t mind me doing this).

“Nicole was fantastic. She took care of our female Great Pyr wonderfully and we could tell how happy she was when we returned home after four days. Nicole is excellent at communicating and very joyful to interact with. We will be booking Nicole again in the near future.”


About: I’ve spent over 10 years caring for dogs, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I specialize in fun river walks, safe handling, and making every dog feel loved and secure. Pet care is a big part of my daily life. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and adventures to keep dogs happy and exercised. I always provide a safe and calm environment. I’m experienced with all dog sizes and can follow any routine to keep pets secure and comfortable.

“Christian dog sat for us in our home and was absolutely amazing!! The first day he was there we found out that my husbands mother passed away. It was an extremely difficult and emotional time for us and we knew we were going to have to extend our time away. Christian was so understanding and immediately put us at ease by extending his time with our Milo. He was very attentive to Milo and all his anxieties, walking him every day and keeping us updated on how he was doing. We came home to a spotless house, he had collected our mail and also took care of our garbage. Nothing is more important than knowing our pets are well taken care of while we're gone, Christian went above and beyond and we are very grateful.”


“James was AMAZING!!!! He took such great care of my dog and sent me pictures to let me know how she was doing. He also had to deal with my dog wetting the bed and was so gracious and understanding about it! I would highly recommend him!”


“Sophia is a jewel. She was great with Lovey my mini Sheepadoodle. Lovey’s used to a lot of attention and is a little on the skiddish side. But they did great together. Sophia is responsible and very engaged. I returned home after 5 days and she had gotten my mail, met up a plumber I had to call and most important Lovey was happy . No issues at all. She ate every meal from day one which never happens. I will absolutely be calling Sophia again!!”


About: I have always had a love for animals. I worked in the veterinary field for about 10 years. I have owned animals of my own since I was a small child. I aspire one day to become a certified dog trainer. I have pet sit everything from cats and dogs to goats and sheep. I do work full time but my father lets the dogs out at lunch time. I’m home by 5:30 so if it’s at my house it will be able to play from when I get home until the next morning. If the pet is not staying with me I will go before and after work and stay over if need be. My pets are extremely well cared for. Up to date on all vaccinations and flea medications. They all get plenty of exercise and have free range of the house when someone is home. They sleep in bed with me at night. I have a large fenced in yard for them to play. They are crated when someone is not home for their safety and to keep them out of trouble.

“Nick was great with my dogs. One of them recently had surgery and needed special care. Nick was attentive to his needs. Nick was very communicative and always provide updates on when he was coming over and sent me many pictures of them. I really trusted him and appreciated all the updates. Thank you Nick!!”
