“Marcus was great and very attentive! This was my first time using this service and leaving my dogs with someone but Marcus checked in everyday & was quick to let me know if there was any issues. I would highly recommend Marcus :)”

“Travis is the best!!!! We feel so confident leaving our cat in his care! He is professional, loving, and so responsible! Our kitty is very shy and timid but took to Travis amazingly well. Truly, he is the cat whisperer! Thank you Travis!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of various temperaments, size, and age. I value your pup’s safety and happiness over anything! I have worked at a doggy daycare and am familiar with pet safety, behaviors, medications, and bathing. I’m currently a student at a local college, but most of my week is free to care for pets of all sizes and ages. I look forward to meeting and caring for as many pets as possible! I have two dogs and a guinea pig, so most of my pet sitting would be at the client’s house. I am able to give medications if needed, care for senior dogs and puppies, and make sure your pups are safe and happy!
4. Mercedes S.
“Mercedes S. was beyond wonderful. As anyone that might be thinking of trying Rover for the first time, I can tell you that my partner and I were a bit nervous about having someone we just met not only drop in and take care of our beloved cat, but also drop into our house and trust them. Once we met Mercedes S in person, we felt very confident in her and also, loved her positive energy. Mercedes went above and beyond in not only bringing in our packages into our home when it was raining, but also making sure that our Pet was happy and taken care of. I recommend Mercedes S to any other Pet parent out there and will also say that Mercedes S is not only easy to get a long with, but very responsive and responsible, which was important to us. We will be re-booking for sure into the future. Thanks again for all of your support.”
5. Paul K.
“I’ve had the privilege of knowing Paul for several years, and during that time, I've seen firsthand the incredible care and attention he gives to special needs dogs. Paul has an extraordinary ability to connect with animals, showing patience, understanding, and love in every interaction. Whether it's administering medications, adapting living spaces to meet the dog's unique needs, or simply providing the extra comfort and reassurance that special needs dogs often require, Paul excels in every aspect of their care. What truly stands out is Paul's commitment to learning and adapting. He constantly educates himself on the best practices for caring for special needs dogs, ensuring that they live the happiest, healthiest lives possible. I would trust Paul with the care of any special needs dog, knowing that he will provide not just the necessary care, but also the compassion and dedication that these wonderful animals deserve. — McKenna J.”
6. Emma W.
About: I’ve taken care of animals - specifically cats and dogs - who were injured and/or abandoned out by the pound. It can be hard to ask for help with your pet! They’re your family! But I love them like they’re mine, too. Nothing made me happier growing up than sending needy animals to their happy, safe, forever homes. Writing is what I’d love to consider my day job, but it only really made the bulk of my income one year. That’s the year my taxes say I’m a writer! So I have a lot of time between chapters. I love getting to speak with the client first and ask them what areas the pet’s things are most commonly in. I like to stick to only the locations I’ve been told are of use/need to me and I always try and leave some treats behind for a deserving furry friend (and they’re all deserving)!
7. Kristin J.
“Kristin was amazing! She took great care of my two cats and on short notice which was a huge relief. She was very down to earth and I felt comfortable with her right away as did the cats who both came out to meet her immediately even though they can often be shy at first. Her notes and photos during the drop in visits were informative and really showed how much she cared about taking care of my two furry kids. I have a cat that requires meds and she was happy to administer them and did a great job. She was amazing and I definitely would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She was fabulous with the cats, left the house neat and tidy, and the litter & food areas so spotless I was flabbergasted! In short she was A+++ and I hope my cats and I are lucky enough to nab her services again when we need it in the future! Thanks Kristin!”
8. Sarra B.
“I can't recommend Sarra enough for her exceptional pet sitting services! She took care of my two cats while I was away, and I could tell they absolutely adored her. Sarra was incredibly attentive to their needs, ensuring they had plenty of playtime and affection. She sent me regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. It's clear that she has a genuine love for animals, and her professionalism is top-notch. If you're looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, Sarra is the perfect choice!”
9. Kacey W.
“Kacey did a wonderful job. My cats tend to be fickle when I travel and they were very even keeled and happy when I returned. Have already booked with Kacey again for my next trip.”
10. Journey S.
“Journey was awesome, It was nice to come home and see that my pups had been taken care of. She contacted us when she arrived on schedule and and when she left. She even took the time to send us some quick pics of our babys. We will be using her again for sure and highly recommend her for anyone's pet needs!”
11. Jo M.
“We booked Jo to cat sit our one cat for a little more than a week. It was our first time having a cat sitter, and Jo was outstanding the whole duration. We had well written updates every visit with multiple pictures of our girl. Jo has a great eye for detail and diligently tended to our cat's needs. Jo was greatly accommodating and even left her a couple of well appreciated goodbye gifts. We were confident from Day 1 and the whole way through that we were in good hands. We'll be looking into Jo's availability the next time we need a cat sitter.”
12. Mark P.
“Mark has walked and dog/cat sat our cat and German Shepherds for the past four years. He's professional, trusting and honest. We have requested his service for weeks at a time while traveling with excellent results.”
13. Rachel C.
About: I'm a mature woman. I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I personally own 1 dog and 1 cat that we adopted. I also love helping people! I'm currently a stay-at-home mom and homeschool my son. I'm looking for something to work into my current schedule to bring in some extra income. I have 1 dog that has access to a fully fenced backyard. Our cat is indoor only. My dog gets along with other dogs but I would have to put my cat in my room if other dogs come over.
14. Joy P.
“Thank you for taking such good care of my baby girl while I was on vacation! I was able to enjoy my vacation worry-free knowing Nala was in great hands. Joy goes the extra mile to make sure my girl Nala gets love and attention while I am away. Thank you Joy! Highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”
15. Erin S.
“Erin was great! She took good care of my girl while I was gone and sent pictures every day. She was very nice and professional when we met before my trip! Thank you, Erin!”
16. Grace J.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. We have always had at least one dog in the house which I helped bathe, walk, and take care of. My most recent dog we got when he was a puppy and I personally have house and leash trained as well as taught him some funny tricks. I am working a part time job and my availability will range based off of my work schedule but I am available weekday mornings and most weekends. I will always ask about any necessary routines your pets need and any thing specific that goes into caring for your pets! I am all about respecting boundaries in your home and with your pets!
17. Elizabeth & Rebecca & Emily W.
“Elizabeth dropped in 2x a day for our 8 lb Papillon. She sent pics, had great updates, did a wonderful job of playing with him and feeding/water. I will definitely hire her again! Very satisfied and happy😁”
18. Sheridan B.
“Sheridan was my neighbor for almost 10 years. Seeing her on a daily basis and the love and commitment she showed to not only her dogs but also the other dogs in the neighborhood is a testimony to the type of hands on loving caretaker she is! You can trust her to make your dog at ease with her and get the best quality care.”
19. Craig T.
“Craig was great. Will definitely use his services again in the future for Pepper!”
20. Nayeli G.
