“I was so nervous about leaving my anxious rescue pup while I was away, but Cam handled her with great care. Both my pups were well taken care of and all instructions were followed without fail. House was left neat and tidy too! I will definitely be booking with Cam in the future!”

“Ashely did a wonderful job caring for all four of our animals. She communicated with us throughout the weekend and sent updated photos. Our house was also well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and use her services again.”

“Very professional and was very pleased with Lydia’s service. She set picture updates throughout our whole time away. Will def recommend her to anyone and will be using her again when we need a sitter!”

“This was the first time we used Kathleen. She did a great job. It gave us peace of mind while we were visiting our son and daughter. To be at the birth of our first grandson. Thank you, Kathleen.”
About: I’ve been handling animals ever since I was 13, this includes cats, dogs, and even bunnies! (I had one that I let free roam). Cats and Bigger dogs are always a personal favorite but I truly love animals and even considered going into veterinary sciences! I can assure you, your animal is in great hands seeing as I have a cat and two dogs myself! I’m a virtual senior high school student with only two classes and my job only schedules me around two days each week, so I have literally all the time in the world to pet sit and I would love to see cute furry friends whenever I can during that free/down time! Whenever I’m at my Aunt and Uncles for up to a week dog sitting and house sitting for them, I make sure to feed both of their dogs and let them out at least every 1-2 hours especially after feeding them, and they stay outside for about 30mins-1 hour, but i don’t mind walking animals at all either! And of course I like to cuddle up with animals if they allow me too and give them play time as well as a little down time to cuddle up and be content!
“Darby impressed us with her detail-oriented nature, kept our pups to their usual schedule, and updated us with text/photos all the while. Also took great care of the house. Will definitely have her again and would highly recommend!”

“Catherine is the best! She is so sweet and intentional, and my sweet Knox had the best time with her. She even offers crafts, homemade treats, and paw-decures!! 💅🏼 Will be booking again”

“Alexis was great with my babies while I was gone! My dog does not take easily to new people, but she relaxed around Alexis pretty quickly in our pre-sitting meet up. I also didn't have to hunt down my cat like I usually do when sitters are over...which is a change. It's not them, but Xena doesn't like anyone...lol. She came in before I even had to look for her! Alexis is a good communicator and sent photos regularly to let me know how they were doing. I'll definitely hire her again.”

“Haven did such a great job taking care of our Libby while we were away! Libby was very happy when we got home, which I can’t say the same for previous times we’ve had to leave her. She took her on walks, played with her, and spent time with her which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Haven!”

About: Growing up we always had dogs in our family. My Experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for friends and families. I love animals and have over a decade of experience in caring for dogs, cats, horses, mules, donkey's and pigs. Now I just have my two dogs but the are like our family. I have 5 years experience caring for elderly dog (my own) that needed special care and medications. I am currently not working any other jobs at this time and will have plenty of time to spend with you sweet fur baby or babies. I have a fenced in back yard with 2 of my own fur babies. I love spending time with them in the back yard, going for walks and playing fetch. I live close to a nature trail with a lake and love to take the dogs for walks there. We love that outside time. Inside I have room to play with toys and chill with your buddies.
About: I am comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes from my experience in a vet clinic. I know what to look for when a dog is feeling un well or anxious. I have my own dog that is a cocker spaniel and he lives to play! I currently work at a job where I handle multiple dogs at once and I love it! I go on lots of walks and have a big yard to play! I work a part time job and am in college in town. I Am home most of the day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Saturdays are my busy days but am still available to board. Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays are a little more unpredictable w my schedule but I am home by 5 maybe before. I have a large fenced yard and live across from a large dog friendly park/walking trail. I have a friendly dog to keep your baby company! If your dog is not crate trained it is no problem. And if they are, I have large crates.
“Regan was an absolute blessing. My dog loved being able to spend time with her, and was really excited that she brought her dog Finn as well so he could have a buddy. She kept me up to date during their stay together, provided me plenty of pictures and made sure my dog was well taken care of while I was out of town. He especially loved the walks she would take him on with Finn and the extra attention he got from both of them.”
About: I would love to walk/ hike with your pet, care for it at your home, or drop in to let them out. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My first job was a pet sitting service, I was frequently asked to watch neighbors dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, etc. My friends often rely on me to take care of their animals while out of town and I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. My dog passed away earlier this year and I won't be ready for anther dog anytime soon, but I would love to share love with your animals. I work seasonally and am currently off for my winter season. I would love to spend time with your animals either at your home or on walks/hikes! I can not watch pets in my own home but in my client's home I make sure to follow their rules and ask the important questions up front. I make sure to not leave pets alone too long and to be there for feeding times and to keep them company at night.

I will kindly adhere to any any instructions within your home, and with your animal. Medication, walks, special food requirements, cuddles, I am happy to do whatever is needed!
Alton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cam was great! Got home and Betti was as happy as of I’d been home the whole time. Cam was great about sending updates and photos throughout the weekend and overall was just great at communicating. I was nervous but this experience with cam was so easy and wonderful - I’m happy to have found someone betti and I both liked!

Sarah was absolutely wonderful! She is super communicative, very detail oriented, and followed all of our many instructions perfectly. She did a great job administering medications and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We never once worried about whether our dogs were being cared for and loved. She handled our three dogs, each with different ages and temperaments, with so much patience and care, and it was clear she genuinely cared about them. We came home to happy, well cared for pups and a home that was clearly well looked after, and we would absolutely book with her again! Highly recommend!
