“Jennifer is the best! I can always leave my high energy pup in her hands and know he is getting the best care. I love her picture updates and how much she loves him.”


“Sheila was great! I’ve never used Rover before and never left our pets with someone other than family. Sheila came for a meet and greet before we finalized the booking (I was afraid our wild pups might scare her off) and all my anxiety was instantly relieved. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. She had great questions and explained her usual process, making it very obvious that she has plenty of experience. I didn’t have any worries about leaving our pets and home in her care. Sheila sent updates and pics during the week and everything was in perfect condition when we got home. I can’t imagine anything that would have made the experience any better! Thank you Sheila!”


“Elizabeth stayed in our home 5 nights and was wonderful with our 2 dogs, 2 cats and 2 ferrets, which included our dog that required daily medication. We were nervous leaving our fur babies but she took great care of them and our home. We highly recommend her!”


“Emily was a great sitter! She house sat for us over the holiday weekend and I came home to a very happy dog :) She was great with communication (and left the house very clean!) would definitely work with her again and recommend. Thank you!”


“We were happy to find Brooke. She took great care of Tucker while we were away, she sent us pictures and updates twice a day, and left the house in great condition. We would definitely hire her again.”


“Lauryn took amazing care of our pups while we were out of town! She was able to adhere to our senior dogs complex medication and food routine and kept our puppy entertained! Lauryn was respectful of our space during her stay, and every interaction was pleasant! She kept us updated on our dogs behaviors and gave us peace of mind with her prompt responses!”


“We had a great experience with Kenneth. Our dogs seemed happy when we returned home and our home was very tidy. He also provided regular updates and photos while we were away.”

“Crystal is absolutely wonderful! She took detailed notes and took care of my boy exactly how I asked her to. Most importantly, she played with him a lot. She was neat & clean & was respectful of my home. She is delightful to work with. She is the best cat sitter ever!”


“Suzanne was so good with my high energy dogs. She sent me updates and was thorough! I came home to some happy pups! My house was left in perfect condition! Would definitely call her again!”


“Ethan was great, responsive and accommodating! I could tell when I interviewed him that he enjoys all animals! He spent time with them and loved on them and appreciate him for the help! Will be using Ethan again for my next trip!”


“Emily was great!! We have two very needy dogs and she was sure to give them all the love and keep us in the loop. Our older pup is unfortunately ill, and Emily kept our minds at ease while we were away with constant updates about how he was doing and making sure that he got his meds! Will defintely be using Emily again for pet care!”


“Thea was great with Sammie and Paddy, giving them lots of outside time and attention. She also was communicative and took great care of the house. We're definitely booking with her again!”


“Andrea did an amazing job watching our 4 month old blue heeler pup 'Tillie' and our low maintenance dude cat 'Pickles'. She was at our home for almost 12 hours and kept the pup from getting into trouble. She's still in that biting/chewing stage and loves electrical cords. Andrea sent me photos of the pets throughout the day and I was extremely assured that we had the right person to watch them both. Thank you Andrea! I'm looking forward to the next time!”


“Karen was amazing. She was very attentive and kept us up to date on anything out of the norm. We were very anxious about leaving our dog in the hands of sitter because we had some bad experiences with sitters. Having Karen really alleviated our concerns and allowed us to focus on the purpose of our trip. We can't thank her enough and will definitely use her in the future. I am sure our dog will love it too!”


“Raven is amazing as always! She sends lots of updates and photos and I know my animals are in great hands when left with her! She always leaves the house spotless, we can never tell if she actually uses the bed!”


“Olivia was awesome with our pups! We just relocated and needed to find a new dog sitter quickly for a business trip and we’re glad we found her. She took great care of our boys, took them for walks and gave them all the attention they needed. Will definitely be booking with her again! :)”


About: I've had dogs and cats most of my adult life and love being surrounded by animals. I currently have one mini dachshund and a cat but wish I had triple the pets. I work from home and am free mornings and weekends for pet parents needs. I am willing to work with a flexible schedule if needed. I have watched my friends' pets and actually prefer to have them stay at home if at all possible so that the furry friends are most comfortable and feel safe.

“Elizabeth was fantastic and kept great communication with us while we were away. We could see that Lou took to her easily and she took great care of our special boy. We'd highly recommend her and hope she'll be available in the future. It was such a relief to find great help.”
