2. Danielle S.
About: Hi! My name is Danielle. I have a degree in veterinary technology. I was a vet tech for a few years. I have worked in clinics and kennels. Im experienced with dogs of all sizes, cats, and a few other small animals. I basically have an open schedule. I do not offer boarding in my home at this time. I work with some farm animals as well, and we can discuss that. I do not offer pet services at my home at this time. I am more than willing to check on your pets at your home for walks and/or play time.
3. Alyssa T.
“Alyssa was great! She was available last minute and on time every visit and sent photos. Great communication! Will definitely request her again.”
4. Carolyn "CJ" F.
“CJ did a great job taking care of my animals. I got Rover cards with pictures to let me know everyone was OK. I would recommend her and will use her again!”
5. Katie P.
“Katie is a caring and dependable pet caregiver. She’s attentive to animals needs, responsible and truly loves pets . I highly recommend her for pet care!!!”
6. Thomas P.
“Thomas is great to work with - he has watched our cats multiple times, and we will continue to book with him for future needs. He’s reliable, considers preferences and concerns, and is incredibly communicative sending regular updates and photos while we are away. It takes our little cats quite a while to warm up to people, so it’s comforting to have a dependable sitter when we are out of town. Definitely recommend!”
7. Jaszmyn L.
“Jasmine did an awesome job taking care of our cat Cruz for a week. She came to our home before we left to meet Cruz and sent photos during the week that we really appreciated. We would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for pets.”
8. Cassy M.
“Cassy was very nice and professional, even when I was all over the place at our "meet and greet" before my trip, and I was so glad to have her check in on our cats! She made sure our boys were fed, comfy and happy, and caught an issue where one of them had even unplugged their feeder. Thanks so much for looking after our kitties!”
9. Deborah T.
About: My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog sitter and have been boarding dogs for 3+ years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "fur baby". I grew up with a household of furry friends! I currently work from home so I am able to dedicate quality time for the care of your pet. I am available Mon-Friday as well as weekends. I have an electric fence for my pup but when I pet sit, no pup goes out without supervision and on a leash. I allow pets to be comfortable in my home too but if you need them crated, I can accommodate that too.
10. Jessica M.
“Jessica takes pet care and pet ownership very seriously. She knows what she is doing when it comes to caring for dogs and cats, from both experience and personal research. I would trust her with my pets well before anyone else that I know. Not only is she knowledgeable but she LOVES animals fiercely. When she’s around my pets she treats them like her own and loves them despite their bad habits or behaviors. She is kind and patient and understand, especially when it comes to animal care, and she’s stern when it counts. I would definitely recommend Jessica to watch your fur babies!”
11. Jeff L.
“Excellent sitter, took great care of my babies and my home while we were away. I plan on using Jeff again, as my husband and I travel often. So happy to have found someone like him to care for our babies. He took care of my patio umbrella when a storm came up, cleaned the Great Danes’s chew mess up, and retrieved packages from the porch. Jeff is great, he treats your animals just like one of your children…. Just like we do. You can’t go wrong if you call on him! And Rover is an amazing service, so glad it’s there. It’s much better than leaving them in a tiny kennel while not home.”
12. Ashlen D.
“Ashlen is the best caregiver for our fur babies! She pays attention to detail, and gives each of them the love and attention they need while we’re gone. Ashlen is reliable and trustworthy and our animals love seeing her.”
13. Sabrina W.
“I can't recommend Sabrina highly enough for her exceptional care of my dogs. She consistently goes above and beyond, taking them on long, enjoyable walks and ensuring they get plenty of attention and playtime. Her dedication to their well-being is evident in their happy demeanor and wagging tails every time she arrives. Sabrina’s reliable and affectionate approach has made her an invaluable part of my pets' lives. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and treats your dogs like their own, Sabrina is the perfect choice.”

About: I currently have 4 dogs and 5 cats with other animals outside. I’m grown up around them my whole life. I am currently working at a vets office and I have been for 3 years. I am available to come check in on your pets on weekends and also taking some for a walk on Saturday and Sundays at any time needed. I’m so use to being around animals since I am at a vets office during the week. I can tolerate any kind of behavior and identify signs of stress, aggression, and whenever something is wrong.
19. keeley w.
“Keeley was the first friend of my sons that came to my mind to dog sit my fur babies when I went on vacation! She is a fur mama herself and loves animals ! I love my dogs like children and would never leave them with anyone who wouldn’t treat them the same as I do ! They immediately bonded with her and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were safe and sound in her care ! I would recommend Keeley to anyone!”
