I was so relieved to have found Madison. My senior rescue cat is incredibly afraid of anyone new, but I knew it was a good sign when she sniffed Madison when she reached out to her! She was gentle with her. It gave me peace of mind to see photos of my little fuzzball when I was away (even when she was hiding). I’ll definitely ask for Madison’s help again in the future.

I had a great experience with Elizabeth! She was incredibly responsible and made sure to follow all my requests exactly as I asked. Communication was seamless throughout, and I felt reassured knowing my Latte was in good hands. I truly appreciate her professionalism and dedication. If you're looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter, I highly recommend Elizabeth.

Our cat was well and as happy as he gets when his people returned from being away. Jacob did seem to forget some of the details of our instructions, such as refilling the second upstairs water dish. Still, our cat did not go without any essentials, and Jacob's photo updates were reassuring. Thank you, Jacob!

Laura is amazing with our doggie! She gives her lots of love while we are out of town, and treats her as if she was her own dog. We will definitely keep scheduling with her. You will like her with your doggies too!

About: I have been taking care of dogs all shapes and sizes for many years! I have experience watching both small and extremely large dogs. I have owned many types of dogs including an English Mastiff, Labrador Retriever and my current rescue Border Collie mix. I worked in a dog shelter for around two years as well. I can take your dogs on walks or on hikes! I am open to caring for any type of dog and know that all dogs are different with their own special needs! I work part-time so I have lots of free-time to devote to your pets. I am currently working part-time at a bakery in town so I have lots of time to do multiple check-ins per day for your pets! I am happy to give your pets their normal routine plus more when on my care! I love taking dogs on walks, playing in the yard with them or doing some in-house enrichment/playtime if the weather isn’t permitting.

I have known Chloe for over ten years and I can say that she is the best and most loving person to go to for any dog walker or pet watching needs. Chloe has always have a love for animals and has always been super responsible. In the past, Chloe had dog watched for many families going out of town and they have always left amazing reviews. She has then become the go-to for anyone planning on going away and in need of someone to care or walk their dog. Chloe also has been one to get involved and volunteer her time to help at local pet centers, which includes help caring for the pets and taking them out on walks regularly. I would rate Chloe a 11/10 and know that when ever I leave on vacation she is the first person I call to watch my ten year old dog Simba. In the last five years, Chloe has watched my dog and taken him on walks for when I had to leave on work trips ranging from a weekend to ten days, and does an amazing job each time. She is an amazing person and you could not trust your pet to be in better hands.

Kate is a wonderful, kind person who is well experienced with caring for dogs. She has great insight into dog psychology and has given me really good advice on managing behavioral issues with my adopted pup. She has cared for my pets on several occasions when I have been out of town -- for a weekend and even 2 weeks. She is highly professional: punctual, courteous, calm and collected even with excitable dogs!!

Our dog Lola loves Teresa! She is prompt, respectful, thorough, and kind. When we go on vacation our dog stays with aging relatives who can’t get Lola out for the long walks and Teresa makes sure Lola gets her exercise and doesn’t eat anything off of the ground (she’s allergic to just about everything so this is a real health and safety issue). Thanks, Teresa!

Hannah is the absolute best! She makes it easier for me to leave them, much better than boarding them. I know when I'm gone, they are still getting the same amount of love and care from her, she's a natural pet lover ❤️

Alex was wonderful! Very responsible and reliable. Everything I requested for the care of my cat was done exactly as I hoped. It also seemed like my cat enjoyed the interactions and was very comfortable during the visits. I would definitely recommend Alex to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Jane V. Is respectful and very attuned to animals. She is punctual, hard working and never in a hurry when it comes to pets. Patient and kind always, yet firm and strong when needed. She was raised with rescued big dogs and cats in all flavors. Our dog is just 14 pounds yet stubborn as can be and Jane has the finesse to manage her. Our cat loves her gentle ways of letting the cat decide what works. Instructions followed to the letter. She will do what you ask. She is trusted and has stayed in our home. She is schooled in Tae Kwon Do. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitter/walker needs.

Tallie would be a great candidate to work with Rover. She is a lifelong friend that has cared for my pets for me on more than one occasion. Not only with my great dane but also with my sun conure. She easily connects with pets and always goes the extra mile to make animals comfortable and happy. Talle would be a great candidate for a position like this!

Natalie has taken care of our dogs and cat for a few years now. She gives the pups lots of love and I think the cat likes her more than us! She is responsible and always communicates well as far as how the animals are doing when she is with them.

Mia has been a friend of mine for almost 13 years, and she has taken care of my dogs and cats many times! I swear she’s an animal whisperer. Even my more skittish animals have loved her the moment she walked in. She would be a great addition to your company!
