“Amy is amazing, our dogs were happy, fat and sassy when we got home from our trip. She gave us updates and pictures daily. I highly recommend her and we for sure will reach out to her for all our sitting needs.”
“I hired Ashleigh to watch my Pyrenees while i was out of the country. She did an exceptional job, sent me pictures and videos throughout my time away. The house was exactly how i left it, my baby girl seemed content and Ashleigh followed up to make sure i made it home. I would definitely recommend Ashleigh for your pet care needs, just know i get first refusal :)”
“Jayce was a wonderful dog sitter. She was so communicative and responsive. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. I highly recommend Jayce if you are looking for someone to watch your pups :)”
“Layn was fantastic - communicative, responsible, smart. You could tell he loves animals from the first moment he met all of ours. He took fantastic care of them and we didn’t have a worry about anything. We will definitely have him house sit for us again”
About: I have taken care of a variety of different breeds of both cats and dogs! All ages ranging from a few months old to senior pups and cats! I have also had to administer medication and special attention to my own fur babies so I know the dedication and effort it takes to make sure all animals are well taken care of! I work full time from 7:30am-4pm, Monday through Friday! I have an hour lunch break to go home and check on pets and have all of my afternoons free to be available to give animals lots of love and care! I tend to spoil my fur babies! I make sure their water and food are fresh and in perfect moderation. My cat Remy has asthma and a heart condition so I am also very observant of animals and know what signs to look for if anything may be uncomfy or them! I am very familiar in giving liquid or pill medication if needed and have also used an inhaler for my cat frequently. For my healthy babies I make sure they get lots of love and attention every second I am with them!
“Nancy watched by two dogs (and plants) while I was out of town for a few days. My dogs can be a challenge as one of them is sick and Nancy did an amazing job!! I came home to happy dogs and a clean home.”
“Michaela is amazing. Easy to work with, flexible, reliable, great communicator, and our dog (and children) fell in love with her immediately. I want to highly recommend, but also keep her for myself! :)”
“Anna did such a good job caring for Mowgli and communicating with me. Mowgli is currently a very involved medical case, and Anna took on the challenge like a pro. She restricted his activity (no easy feat with a large breed puppy), changed countless bandages (including purchasing more supplies), gave oral medication, used a light therapy device, and brushed his teeth! All the while she was sending me photos of Mowgli and commenting how cute he was. She even bought him a toy! I am so relieved that the person taking care of my whole world (!) loved him like I do. Her passion and ability to follow detailed instructions helped Mowgli continue to heal in my absence. I will certainly book Anna again and encourage anyone looking for a dependable caretaker to do the same. Thank you, Anna ♥️”
“Michelle is hands down the best sitter we have ever had!! She stayed with our pack for the weekend (3 dogs, 2 cats, and turtles) and was so attentive. She sent us videos, pictures, and updates often and helped us feel reassured that they were in good, loving, hands. She legitimately loved on them like they were her own babies and it showed. She also sent us a message at the end of her stay with some things she learned about each of them, and they were all things/mannerisms you wouldn't learn unless you took the time to get to know them and really paid attention. Absolutely love Michelle and will definitely be using her again and again!”
“This was our first experience using Rover so my wife and I were slightly nervous, however after meeting Spirit and seeing how she was with Roland we decided to give it a shot. While we were gone we received pictures and videos daily letting us know our boy was in the best possible hands. Roland can’t wait for the next time!”
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life, not just mine but many others as well. I may be younger but that helps me to keep the pets happy and playful. I know how important the love of an animal is and how much they deserve the best care, when you are away. I am currently working mornings so I am able to go take care of pets in the morning before work and have the rest of the day to look after them whenever I am needed. I take care of my animals by giving them a loving home and making sure they have everything they need. In a client’s home, I focus on what the client wants as well as reading the animal.
About: I have cared for all different types of dogs since I was 12. People call me the dog whisperer because most dogs like me. I am gentle and caring with pets. I take time to learn the dog's needs and how to best interact with it. If the dog needs high energy, I give it high energy. If the dog needs me to be chill and cuddle, then I do just that. I have cleaned and bathed dogs, walked dogs, and house-set all different types of dogs. I feed my dogs at night and in the morning. I feed them when I wake up and then when I am eating dinner. I have two dogs. I take them on walks almost nightly. One dog sleeps with me every night. I have an older dog, and I give her medication and a special type of food every night. I also bathe my dogs and brush them frequently. I will care for them by feeding them, taking them on walks, bathing them, giving them lots of love and attention. I will also ensure the dogs feel safe with me and cater to all their needs and wants. I will ensure that everything is left the way it was before I came, and that if the dog happens to have an accident, it is cleaned up right then.
“I have had quite a few rover sitters due to moving for jobs and she has been the best by far! I felt like my dogs were well taken care of and she sent both pictures as well a couple of videos of all the cuddles/playtime. She was also respectful and dependable.”
“My timid dog who runs from everyone loves Michael and goes up to him like she has known him forever. Great job they look forward to his walks.”
About: I've taken care of pets my entire life, whether it was my pet, a friend's pet or a coworker's pet, I am always excited to love on our furry friends! I want part-time work as an animal caregiver. I will retire June 30, 2025, and will be able to pet sit any day of the week. I provide a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for my babies, and I treat others' pets just like they were mine. They are loved on consistently.
About: I have been around animals all my life. Ranging from a fish, bird, bunny to dogs and cats. My family is full of animal lovers, so there is always a pet to love during family events! I have been trusted to feed, walk, and bathe many pets. I first started pet sitting a dog and cat for a family two years ago and I have adored every moment! I have a very flexible schedule as I am an online college student, so I have plenty of free time to spend caring for your fur baby! Though, there are a few hours I am unavailable (between 3pm-4pm and 12pm-1pm) but I’m sure we can work around it! Whether it’s my place or yours, every outside occurrence will be supervised and accompanied. I will take precautions to ensure the safety of your fur baby and that they have a fun time! I’m truly honored for any opportunity and value the trust placed in me.

“Having known Tracie for over 30 years, I can confidently say that entrusting my pets to her care has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Her deep understanding and genuine affection for animals are evident in every interaction. Whether it’s administering medication, adhering to specific dietary requirements, or simply providing companionship, she approaches each task with unwavering dedication and love. On multiple occasions, I’ve had to rely on her to look after my pets during my absence. Each time, I’ve returned to find my animals not only safe and healthy but also visibly content. Her regular updates, complete with photos and detailed notes, offer immense peace of mind, allowing me to enjoy my time away without worry. Beyond her exceptional caregiving skills, Tracie, possesses qualities of trustworthiness, responsibility, and kindness. Knowing that my pets are in such capable and loving hands allows me to travel with confidence, assured that they are receiving the best possible care. If you’re seeking a pet sitter who combines professionalism with heartfelt compassion, I wholeheartedly recommend, Tracie. Her lifelong bond with animals and her commitment to their well-being make her an invaluable asset to any pet owner.”
