“Lucius did an amazing job with our pooches for the week they pet sit for us. They kept us updated throughout our trip which was super reassuring. They also spoiled our dogs with plenty of play time and pets in our stead. Would 100% refer them for anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Taylor did a fantastic job. Our dogs have never been separated from us and they were content and themselves on our return. The house was the same as we left mail neatly stacked on the counter. Couldn’t ask for more”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years and truly love caring for animals of all kinds. With plenty of experience, I understand how important it is to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, flexible with scheduling, and always willing to work with you to meet your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, medication, or just keeping your furry friend company, I’m here to help! I work a full-time rotating schedule where I’m on for 7 days straight and then off for 7 days. My work week always starts on a Thursday and ends on a Wednesday. During those 7 workdays, I’m working full-time each day. After that, I get a full week off to rest and take care of personal things. It’s a repeating cycle—7 days on, 7 days off—so every other week I’m either working or completely off I pet sit because I genuinely love what I do — and animals love me back. Their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. When pets stay with me in my home, they become part of the family. I make sure every animal is well-fed, always has fresh water, and most importantly — plenty of playtime and affection. They get a safe, loving environment where they can relax and feel right at home. When I care for pets in your home, I follow all instructions to the letter — from feeding and medication routines to special care details. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Respecting your space and your pet’s routine is always a priority. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m staying with them, your pet gets the same thing: love, attention, and top-notch care.
“Bre was fabulous!!! She made leaving my dogs for the first time with a rover sitter so easy and stress free. She sent pics and updates frequently cuddling with my dogs so I knew they loved her. And even put up with my very high energy puppy. She left the house clean and just as we left it. She’s coming back next weekend to watch them again and I’m so happy to have found someone I trust with my babies.”
“I can’t recommend Austin enough! He sent regular updates, communicated clearly, and was really tuned in to how Bear was feeling. I felt totally at ease knowing Bear was in such thoughtful hands. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup—and I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Leah was fabulous! She was so patient and willing to work with my feisty puppy who just turned a year old. With her background she was gracious with his anxiety and they connected beautifully!!! Leah kept me in the loop and sent great pictures so I could be worry-free and enjoy my trip. I will definitely use Leah’s services again and again!!”
“Courtney was absolutely incredible! She accommodated our last-minute booking with such grace and professionalism. From the start, her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring—which made us feel so comfortable. Most importantly, our pups were so well taken care of and came home happy and relaxed. We’re beyond grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the genuine love she showed our dogs. Highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
About: I have been around and had animals most of my life. The love they can give you is compared to none. I enjoy taking care of a variety of animals. I am available for morning, afternoon and evening walks Sunday through Saturday. And for overnight stays in your home, I am available Sunday through Saturday. I am meticulous in providing amazing, loving care in your home. No need to worry about a thing. My family has a cat so I would not be able to care for pets at my home. But I do think animals are less stressed staying in their own environment.
“Emily is the sweetest person. I felt comfortable leaving her in my home and caring for my pets. I had previously been told my dogs are high maintenance, which they are, but it wasn't a problem for her. In addition, I had one dog with serious health problems (which I had to put down the day before she came) but she didn't shy away from that challenge. She sent pictures and cuddled with my dog on the couch. I would love to have her back.”
“Alexis did great on our 3 day trip away with our pup, Archie. She came and played with him and even socialized with her own pups after she asked if that was okay. Felt like our boy got taken care of whilst we were away.”
About: I grew up taking care of our dogs with my family ranging in size from a 15 pound Shih Tzu, to a Cocker Spaniel and even to a fully grown English Mastiff. Now as an adult I have an 80 pound brindle pit bull who is very lovable and out going. Pit Bulls are known to have allergies and sometimes bad ears, so I have dealt with medicine application as well. I absolutely love dogs and enjoy taking care of them! I'm an on-time and focused person and have a fun and lovable personality. I also have my cell phone on me at all times, so I am very easy to get ahold of. I'm available mornings and evenings pretty much at any time, as I have a very flexible schedule. I am very much looking forward to caring for your pets!
“THE BEST DOG SITTER EVER!!!! She sent me pics everyday, my house was cleaner after she left lol My pups x3 adored her. I have never been more pleased! Highly recommend and she is a great communicator. You will feel at ease knowing she is in charge!”
“Communication was good however we did not receive many unprompted status updates or photos of our pets. During house sitting, was one day that our home entry logs indicated that no one stayed the evening with our pets. A few other logs were noted that indicated time spent in the home was about 2-3 minutes in the evening then returning later. Our dogs were happy to see us and appeared to be fed”
About: I am a caring and compassionate sitter for your fur babies! I have had family pets for 29 years and my current baby for 8. My own deals with some anxiety, so I am extra understanding for pets with minor behavioral issues. I know how hard it is to find someone to trust! I have experience with pets of all ages and can follow instructions for pets with special needs. I can assure your fur babies will be fed, loved, and cuddled in my care! Not only are your pets safe, but so is your personal property! I have previous federal law enforcement and military experience with active clearances, making me a safe and reliable choice as a sitter! I am new to the area and currently looking for a new job, so I have full availability until then, unless I have a previously scheduled event or trip! I can provide care for your pet(s) Monday-Sunday. I feel that pets are most comfortable in their own space so I provide in home sitting services and can maintain their daily routines! I can walk and feed your pets on your preferred schedule. I can send as many updates and pictures as needed to ease any worries you may have! I treat all pets like they are my own! 🥰
