“Mia is great and so patient with my pups. She keeps me updated and contacts me for any questions. I really appreciate that because I worry about my girls while I am at work. Thank you for all you do Mia :)”
“This was my first time using Rover and leaving my dogs, Mocha and Matcha, home alone, so I was very anxious. I hired McKenna in advance, and she even did a couple of visits while we were still home to get to know them. When the actual trip started, I felt so guilty I almost cut it short—but McKenna reassured me with such kindness. She followed every instruction, came twice a day, fed, walked, and played with them, sent photo updates, and even stayed extra time to comfort them. Mocha doesn’t usually trust strangers, but she warmed up to McKenna quickly. Matcha loved her too! McKenna made the whole experience smooth and worry-free. I’ve already asked if she’s available again in July! So grateful and blessed to have found someone who truly treats my pups like her own.”
“Kristen was excellent! Very detail oriented very professional and extremely nice! I would definitely book her again the next vacation to check in on my dog and I highly recommend her for others dogs as well thanks Kristen!!”
“Barbara was awesome watching our fur babies while we were in vacation. She communicated and provided pictures during our trip so we didn't have to worry at all. Highly recommend her to anyone and will be booking her again on our next trip.”
“Jessica took great care of my two cats while I was away for the weekend. She gave them lots of play and affection, kept them well fed and watered, and kept the litter box clean. She even left a homemade cat toy for them!”
About: I grew up in a home filled with animals, which gave me a deep understanding and love for pet care. Over the years, I’ve helped friends and family care for their pets, including dogsitting for my uncle’s dog, who experiences seizures. This experience has made me comfortable handling pets with special needs and providing attentive, compassionate care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or looking after pets with unique requirements, I treat every animal like my own. I'm currently a server at an Italian restaurant, working part-time, trying to save up money for my college tuition. My availability fluctuates, however I will always find time to care for our furry friends! I have a fenced, nicely sized yard and a quiet, small lab/border collie mixed dog to keep your pups company. I also can provide crates if needed
About: My experience with pets stems from growing around them. It was my responsibility to make sure they were upkept. This is why it feels natural for me to include them in my life. I'm currently working from home and would like some pets in the house while I work for emotional support. I treat animals very well and they naturally love my energy. I live in a safe and secure location that is pet friendly. We also have a dog park and plenty of space to take care of your pet.
“Isabel went above and beyond for our furbaby. She was safe and sent lots of great updates. After the booking, our dog was looking around for Isabel. We’ll definitely book her again.”
About: Family and friends trust me with their pets because I treat every furry friend like my own, full of love, attention, and gentle care that keeps tails wagging and hearts happy. With school starting in two weeks, my schedule is wide open, and I’ll still have plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they need. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to play safely, and I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for enjoyable walks. Whether at my home or yours, I ensure pets get exercise, attention, and lots of love.

About: Since I was 7 years old I have had dogs around me and in my house. My family liked to pet sit for friends and we even fostered puppies for a while. When we finally got our own dogs when I was 12 it was up to me to train walk and feed them every day. I absolutely fell in love with dogs because of their unconditional love and loyalty and treat every dog I meet as if they were apart of my family. I am currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I am usually available during the week all day and am able to be booked the same day. Having had a dog since i was 12 years old I have grown up treating my pets as if they were human beings. I see them as so and give them everything they need and more to be happy and healthy.

“William is one of the most caring and responsible pet caregivers I know. He genuinely loves animals and has years of experience raising four cats and one dog. His home is full of warmth and compassion for pets. What impressed me the most was when he helped his cat deliver a litter of kittens—he handled everything calmly and knowledgeably.

I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”
