“Madison was great with our older dog Ruby. She made it a point to share an update with us during each visit and provided pictures of Ruby as well throughout the week. We really appreciate Madison’s help while we went on vacation for the week and would trust her to checkin on Ruby again :)”

“Kelly is one of the most attentive and detail oriented individuals that I know! She’s also a devoted pet mom and actively seeks out spending time with other animals in need of care as well, even if they’re not her own. Definitely a go-to for dog walking and sitting! 10/10 caregiver and animal lover!”
6. Mariana T.

7. Elysse V.
“Elysse is amazing! Incredibly flexible with my needs and, more importantly, my dogs needs. I have a senior dog with a laundry list of issues and he did very well under her care. She was very responsive and willing to help more as needed.”
8. shannon b.
“Shannon was an amazing choice for a puppy visit! She kindly took care of my high energy 10 week old puppy for 30 min when I had to go to the office. She was very responsive and followed all instructions. Wrigley was lucky to have her help!”
9. Chelsey L.
“Chelsey is our new gold standard for kitty sitting! We adopted 3 cats with tons of quirks and she didn't skip a beat learning each of everyone one of them. While we've hired a few folks on Rover in the past, we didn't know what "great" looked like until hiring Chelsey while we visited family out of state. She was kind, reliable, trustworthy; but most of all, she was inherently thoughtful. Her checkin summaries and photos kept the laughs coming and the separation anxiety at bay. She truly went above and beyond. Her thoughtfulness is a reflection of her love for animals and we can't wait to hire her again!”
10. Juli G.
“Juli did a great job with drop-in visits for my GSD. It was raining one time and hot another but she made sure he got a break, some attention, and his treats so he was very happy. She responds quickly and made sure Auggie was all set.”
11. Jaidyn S.
“Very thorough and professional for my pup’s check in / walk! Thank you thank you thank you! Would highly recommend to others and 110% rebook when needed. Greatly appreciate it!”
12. Jen S.
“Jen is my go-to cat sitter and I can’t say enough good words about her! I booked her for cat sitting (again) before checking her schedule. She was super kind to accept my request although she wasn’t planning to do any sitting during the time. She sent me photos, videos, and notes every day and I always enjoy chatting with her and getting updates about my kitties. My kitties aren’t the easiest to deal with but they both love Jen and Jen takes such good care of them.”
13. Jamie M.
“Jamie took awesome care of my two old dogs while my girlfriend and I were out of town. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to introduce them for the first visit AND a text with all the food portions and the location of everything and a warning that the little one was loud but friendly. Still she found everything and excused my little one’s barking and took extra good care of them. She also took the best photos I’ve seen of my two dogs! Thank you!”
14. Sara C.
“Sara did a wonderful job taking care of Wilma and Lucifer! She sent tons of pictures and videos so I could see how they were doing, and was very communicative any time an issue came up so we could solve it. I will definitely be using her services any time I need a pet sitter in the future!”
15. Adeleine B.
“Adeleine has taken care of my iguana, bearded dragon, veiled chameleon, multiple dogs and cats. She has treated every one of them like family. From feeding and watering to walking and cuddling she is the best.”
16. Rebekah N.
“Rebekah went above and beyond for my boys. She provided such peace of mind while I was out of town.”

About: As a pet sitter with three years of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge in dog sitting, onboarding, and training. I have extensive experience with potty breaks and playtime, ensuring pets are happy and comfortable. I was a vet assistant and daycare associate with animal rescue organizations and used to be a foster mom! Additionally, I have my own dog: Eden, who is a proud mother of eight adorable puppies. This experience has given me valuable insights into caring for puppies, including their dietary needs, potty training, and overall well-being. And I used to have another dog, Tommy, who was a rescue dog and underwent surgery, and through this, I learned how to handle post-surgery care, including administering medication, even to pets who are adept at spitting out pills. My deep love for animals means that I can't imagine life without them, and I am committed to providing the best possible care for your pets. This dedication and comprehensive experience could ensure your pets are in loving and capable hands. My schedule is flexible and I am available for boarding anytime. As for daily visits and specific time requirements, I can accommodate various times to ensure your pet gets the care they need. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I ensure they receive the same love and attention they would from their owners. I follow the pet’s usual routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to minimize any stress or anxiety. My care is personalized to each pet’s specific needs, including special diets, medication, and any particular preferences they may have. I engage pets in regular exercise and play sessions to keep them active and happy. I always maintain a clean and safe environment, including cleaning up after pets and ensuring they are safe and secure. And I provide plenty of affection and companionship to ensure pets feel loved and comfortable in their home. Additionally, I keep clients updated with regular reports and photos of their pets, so they can have peace of mind while they’re away(I love that). My goal is to make sure pets feel comfortable and owners feel reassured.
18. Sarah B.
“Sarah has taken care of my pets multiple times. She has taken care of my kitten and former elder cats, as well as my newborn puppies and former elder dogs. She had done this with about 6 different animals at this point, of all ages over the last 6-7 years. Shes wonderful with animals, never misses instructions when it comes to their daily needs, genuinely loves their company and playing with them, as well as being active with all of the animals. Every time Sarah has spent time overnight or just taking them out for a walk, both my dogs and cats have been so much more happier and energetic to see me.”
19. Cherie F.
“Cherie was awesome! Hoping to use her more in the future ?”
20. Patrick E.
About: I personally cared for my childhood dog for 13 years, as well as growing up around dog trainers and breeders while loving all kinds of breeds. I do a lot of work from home and have time between projects that I could use to walk/care for pets with any attentive needs. My apartment has multiple open spaces for plenty of walking and play time. There is a nearby park for catch and running around having fun.
