“Lauren is excellent! She took amazing care of our fur baby while we were on vacation. Highly recommend her! We loved getting daily pictures and updates throughout the day. We will definitely use Lauren again!”

About: I have experience working with dogs of all breeds and sizes. Dogs have always been a part of my life. I’ve been volunteering at an animal shelter for over 4 years and foster dogs as well. Pet care is my part time job. My schedule is flexible and I am willing to work around your schedule so your dog can have the best care. I will care for your pet as if they were my very own. They will get the best treatment and stay safe while having a blast.

“Bonnie is amazing. She took extra special care of our fur baby and our home. She went above and beyond. She sent pictures and texts assuring us that all was well. We would highly recommend Bonnie! We will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: I’ve watched all sorts of animals from rats and hamsters to puppies and adult dogs. I love animals and I want to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I have a partially blind fully deaf dog who was born like that so I absolutely have experience with disabilities and special needs. I can handle all sorts of pets i’m not scared of any animals and I believe that every animal is someone’s whole life and you need to make sure they’re treated like royalty. I also own a bunny and a kitten so whatever animal you have i’ll make sure to give them the best care possible. I am a college student and currently have classes 3 days a week but i’m hoping to move that to one or two days for future semesters. I cannot have pets in my home as i have 3 animals already. In your home I would want them to be leashed or have a fence of some sort to go outside, on walks etc. I am comfortable walking large dogs as long as they do not have a record of trying to get away. If you have any questions or concerns about specific things please feel free to ask!

About: I have owned cats all my life and currently own one cat and one dog, both of whom are rescues. My dog did not have the best start to life and as a result continues to require consistent training and guidance to live a stress-reduced life. As I have helped my reactive dog get adjusted to life in a loving home, I've learned that I have a passion for interacting with dogs, or any animal, of all shapes, sizes, and breeds without discrimination. I value creating a trusting bond each animal I interact with and each pet owner that I meet. I recognize that each animal I meet may require specific considerations while providing services and am comfortable with most temperaments that I come across (like I said, having a reactive dog myself has taught me lots of valuable lessons). I have provided drop in care for several family members' animals including both cats and dogs of all sizes. I have volunteered with animal shelters by taking dogs for walks and providing play time. Unfortunately, my neighborhood has several dogs who have gotten out of their yards, however on multiple occasions I have safely leashed the animals and worked with various vet offices to get them returned to their owners. I value direct communication and constructive feedback from pet owners in order to help me provide the type of care that your animal deserves. Whether you need help while you're at work or need someone to walk the dog while you take care of things at home, my schedule can be flexible. I currently work from home, so please message me the times you require services to ensure availability. I care for pets in my own home with love first and foremost but also with clear expectations of what behavior is acceptable. I regularly provide playtime for both of my animals and do obedience training with my dog daily (I am not a certified dog trainer, however have picked up lots of knowledge and skills working with the reputable trainers in my area for my dog).

“Dorene did a marvelous job watching our two dogs. She also did a great job watching our house, the place was clean and we couldn’t even tell she was there.”

“Mariah was fantastic! Our nervous dog has a hard time when we leave and Mariah was so great with him! He was nervous at first but warmed up quickly and was happy to follow her everywhere. She sent regular updates, left the house in perfect condition, and even left a little “doggy report card” which was so nice to come home to. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I love animals very much, so keeping company and entertaining pets brings me so much joy! I work in a doggy daycare, so I get to meet all sorts of dogs every day and am comfortable with dogs and/or cats of all breeds and sizes!! I am currently a full time college student who works on the weekends, but I am happy to stop in between classes, and hang out in the home for the remainder of my free time! I love keeping pets entertained, so playing inside and outside (if possible) is a regular! If outdoor time is limited or has restrictions, I can follow whatever instructions or restrictions that are put in place by the owner.

“Ashley stayed at our house for a weekend while we were traveling. We have three dogs who are sweeties, and they took to her instantly with cuddles. She met all of their needs, including medication. I would definitely work with Ashley again any time!”

About: I grew up on a farm, we had so many farm animals. I also volunteered at a Horse Rescue when I was a teen. I spent a lot of time puppy sitting, and walking dogs growing up too. I have so many fond memories with animals and tending to them🩵 I am a Mother so my life revolves around my son who is now in school, leaving me tons of time for activities and work🩵 He also loves animals as much as I do, but he has more energy HAHA! I try to enrich my furry or scaley friend's life as much as possible with treats, and cuddles or walks! I am completely able to follow instructions and lists as well ☺️

About: There’s nothing more important than finding community and care that you can rely on in times of need, and that's what we're here for! In the past, we had a tough time finding a boarding solution that worked well for our pup, Memphis. We couldn't travel until trying Rover for the first time in 2019 and falling in love with the service—so much so that we became Rover sitters ourselves. We appreciate your support as our small (but mighty) business continues to grow! We both work remotely so we're fortunate to spend most of our time at home with our pets, and hopefully yours too. Our schedules are flexible so we’re happy to make adjustments to meet your needs. We grew up with all types of animals! From cats and dogs to fish and birds, we're experienced caring for animals of any kind. We currently have the sweetest golden retriever, Memphis, and two silly kitties, Mole and Mahi. Our babies are the center of our universe so we understand wholeheartedly important it is to leave your pets in the hands of someone you trust.

“I've been avoiding using services like Rover because I simply didn't trust anyone with my dog or to stay in my home who I didn't know very well but when push came to shove I had to find someone in order to free myself up for a work opportunity. As a result of taking taking this leap I found Michael, who during our first meet and greet, put all my concerns to rest. Right away he showed so much love to my baby Skittles that I didn't even pine over her while I was away, which was incredible to me. We went over the final details on the day of my departure. We went back and forth a few times each day with notes and pics. When I arrived home Skittles went berserk and we loved each other up! The house was just as I had left it. I won't hesitate to contact Michael again. I highly recommend him.”

“Emilie C was great. She took care of my animals and house very well. As well as my plants. I especially loved that she took the time to message me throughout my trip to let me know how things were going. Sending pics of my animals and updates. I will definitely book her again for all future trips”

Valerie W.

“So many good things to say! We have two dogs and have had Ashley dog sit and do daily visits. She has done great at both and we will continue to use her. She kept us up to date while we were away and took good care of our guys.”

“Steven & Linda stayed at our home for 8 days to watch our 2 doggies, both are senior dogs and our Shih-tzu needed special care with his eyes and going potty; they did an outstanding job with both, I cannot put in words the peace we felt during our vacations knowing that our pets were in good hands. We met prior booking the service, and I could sense the kindness and compassion of both in our conversation; they paid attention to detail when I was explaining the care needed for the dogs, and they made me so many questions regarding their routine that it was evident the genuine interest in their well being. After booking, I provided a detailed briefing with the schedule of potty breaks, food, etc. When we came back they left the house spotless, honestly I think cleaner than how we keep it :), and unfortunately our garbage disposal had a leak during this time ( it was time for replacing it), they cleaned all the mess and they left a beautiful letter with flowers to thank us for the opportunity to watch our dogs ; and Steven even offered to help with the garbage disposal in case we needed. I'm grateful for having them stayed at our home with our doggies, they exceeded all my expectations, and I absolutely recommend them as professional pet-sitters. I would hire them again.”

“My boy is a high energy Vizsla & I’ve never left him with someone new so was a little nervous to leave him. Sarah exceeded my expectation! Had last minute meds she had to give him & last minute fence getting put up & she handled it all perfect. Pretty sure Boone likes her more than me now!”
