Seth is a wonderful young man and a very reliable house-sitter. His communcation is great, he followed directions to the T, and most importantly, he loved my animals like his own. My pups are older and require meds and some special attention, and they were happy and healthy upon my return. Set also send me texts with photos each day. I highly recommend this young man to take care of your pets. I met him strictly through Rover, but I will be using him again.

Patrick has house sitter for us twice so far and both times were a great experience. Patrick is timely and follows our pets schedules perfectly. He is a very reliable pet sitting and is very respectful of our home when he is home sitting. His home sitting made for a very worry free trip for us. I highly recommend Patrick and will be rebooking with him for future trips.

I booked Elicia for house sitting, she was very nice and as far as I can tell did a great job taking care of my animals and house while we were gone! My only critique is that I wish I would’ve received some pictures over the weekend, but I know she did fine with the pups and my cat☺️

Kytt was amazing! She was very responsive before, during and after her stay with our 2 dogs. She provided daily updates and the pups clearly were not missing us. She stayed in our home and when we arrived home the house was in better condition then we left it in. She was the best and we feel confident that whenever we travel our 2 dogs will be in great and loving hands.

About: I’ve been pet-sitting for around ten years, starting with walking and biking to neighbor’s houses as a kid. I have experience taking care of multiple animals, 3+ walks a day, and taking care of senior dogs. I also have experience walking big dogs and aggressive dogs, as well as house-sitting. I aim to be thorough and timely in my care, while also having fun and building a bond with the animal. As of now, I am free every day of the week. For overnight stays I prefer the weekend (including Friday evenings), but for walks, feeding, medication, or other daily tasks, I am available everyday. I always try to gain the animal’s trust, being patient and gentle with them especially when skittish. I like to make sure there is adequate food and that water is always available, checking to make sure the animal is drinking. I also always include some playtime/enrichment activity with the animal.

About: I have experience with newborn puppies all the way to senior dogs! I have helped deliver and raise 3 litters of puppies to this day. I have professionally petsit for roughly eight years but have been caring for pets for even longer! I also have experience with diabetic dogs and administering medications and vaccinations, specifically insulin injections. I am a graduate student at VSU in my first semester! My schedule is pretty solid but is subject to change! If my schedule doesn’t fully adhere to what you need, I’m always open to chat logistics and figure out the best schedule to take care of your pets’ needs! I can easily crate animals, I always check twice to make sure doors are shut so no animals get out, I love playing with animals to get their energy out as well as taking long walks with them!

Sandy is amazing! She will care for your pet as if we’re her own as she does our sweet Gemma. This is our second time using her services and we will continue to utilize her in the future. She stays in touch and sends you photos of you fur baby as you are away to give you comfort. Gemma loves staying over with her! Thank you so very much for your care! ♥️

This was the third time Kira has stayed at our place and took care of our pup! Skyla loves spending time with Kira and I know she’s is very well taken care of while we are away. We were gone for a week and a half and Kira gave many updates and stayed at our place the entire time!! Highly recommend and glad we’ve found Kira, will continue to have her dog sit anytime we are gone!

About: I’ve grown up around animals for as long as I can remember. To me, Home isn’t actually home until you add a four-legged member. I have helped train a handful of puppies with basic obedience commands. My spaniel, Baxley, can sit, stay, shake, retrieve, spin and cuddle when he knows I need it. The training was for us to really trust each other, and he’s my best friend! In addition to working with Baxley and other dogs, I have dog sat for many other people/ families. I’m able to help out during my lunch hour as well as before and after work- my usual work hours are 8-4:30 with a flexible lunch break. I can ensure you that your fur babies will be loved, spoiled, and taken care of in my time doggy sitting! :) I work full time, but my schedule can be very flexible. I can take my lunch earlier or later than 12 PM due to working an 8-4:30. With that, I can walk pets before 8 and after 4:30 ! My spaniel is able to run openly, so I do not have a fenced in yard. I would prefer to come to the dog instead of bringing the fur baby to a new place in the country!

About: I'm super flexible and can tailor my approach to fit exactly what your pet needs! Plus, I'm all about making sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and has a blast while you're away. I make pet care a priority by structuring my day around their needs. Walks, playtime, and feeding times are all carefully planned to ensure they get the attention and care they deserve. It's like having a furry, fun-sized boss who dictates my schedule! Safety first! Whether it's my place or yours, I make sure the environment is free of hazards. Trust is built through consistent, loving care, and I always respect your home and rules. Basically, I treat every pet like they're my own and every home like it's my grandma's – with lots of love and respect!

About: Hi! My name is Lauren, and caring for dogs is something I genuinely love. I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, and I strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I have hands on experience working at a vet owned doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and needs. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable handling: * Puppies and high-energy dogs * Senior dogs needing extra patience and care * Dogs with medical needs and medication schedules * Reactive or dog-aggressive dogs * Anxious or shy dogs who need a calmer approach Because of my background, I’ve learned how to read dog body language, recognize stress signals, and adapt to each dog’s unique personality and routine. My goal is always to make your pet feel as relaxed and happy as possible while keeping you updated for peace of mind. I currently only offer care in the owner’s home because I believe many dogs are happiest and least stressed in their familiar environment. Staying in their own home allows them to keep their routine, sleep comfortably, and receive one-on-one attention and care. Since my husband is currently deployed, I’m back home full-time, I have a very flexible schedule and am available 24/7 for your pet’s needs. This means plenty of potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Not just quick drop-ins. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be nerve wracking, so communication is very important to me. I’ll always keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you can relax knowing your dog is in caring and capable hands. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! Pet care easily fits into my daily routine since I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight care depending on your needs. I do my best to follow your dog’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Consistency is always my goal, whether that’s feeding times, walks, or potty breaks. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I provide care in the owner’s home, your pet stays in a familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and anxiety. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications, and behavior guidelines. With my background working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, I’m experienced in handling dogs of all temperaments, including puppies, senior dogs, medical needs, and dogs that may be reactive or need extra patience. I always use calm, attentive handling and prioritize positive, stress-free interactions

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets for family and friends, including dogs and cats with different needs and personalities. I’m experienced with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets happy and safe. My current hours of work are 7:30 am - 3:30ish pm. I’m available throughout the weekend definitely and may possibly be available throughout the day sometimes. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment whether pets are in my home or their own. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions like medications or special diets. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel relaxed and secure.
