We loved having Valerie stay with our pets while we were on vacation. She was so good with our cat and it was so nice knowing they were in good hands while we were away. I will definitely book with her again for our next vacation!

About: I cared for dogs for 5 years as a dog groomer, and as a sitter for family and friends! At the salon, I was trusted to bathe, dry, walk, clean up after, and trim the nails of the dogs under my care! When I care for the pets of my friends and family, feeding, play time, and walks are my primary responsibility! I always make sure to keep the pet parents up to date on their dogs! I am currently self employed, so I will have plenty of time to play, feed, walk, and bathe your puppy dogs! Unfortunately, I am currently unavailable for boarding. I make sure pets get good exercise from walks or play, are well fed, and spend plenty of quality time with them! If a pet has health issues, I will make sure their issues are properly managed.

About: I’ve taken care of large dogs, small dogs, cats, ferrets, ducks and basically any pet you can think of. Everyone deserves to have someone care for their pet properly while they are away. I will keep your furry family member safe and happy while you are! I also take photos while they are with me that I can send to you with updates. I can’t wait to meet your fur friend!!! I am currently in college online. When needed I substitute teach for my primary income but it is a very flexible schedule. I care for animals more often than subbing and devote my workdays towards your pets. I have one very friendly dog, but if your pet is not into socializing they can stay separated. I want to make sure you come back home to a pet that is as happy as when you left. My hope is that whether you're on vacation or business trip your furry family member will be treated like they are part of my own family.

Jennifer is an amazing sitter. She communicated every step of the way and I had no doubt my dog was in good hands. My needy shepherd mix absolutely loved her.

Kattie was incredible! We had a last minute family emergency and she came to help. My dogs have absolutely loved her. I have several special needs dogs with meds needed. She was comfortable and great with administering them. We got daily pictures which helped out our minds at ease. If you need a great person that goes above and beyond for your pups this is your lady. Thanks again Kattie.

Chloe made it possible for me travel free of my pets after the effects of the pandemic and the loss of one of their mama’s. It’s been a difficult time and I was afraid to leave them alone, but they did great and Chloe was super. I would highly recommend Chloe for all your pet’s needs.

About: I am a 30 year old female who loves all animals. I have grown up with animals all my life and have owned many of my own pets. I very much like spending time walking around or just sitting and gaming and cuddling with my pets. I am able to train puppies as i have owned a 3 time grand champion vizsla, though I am no professional I was just taught so i could show my dog. I enjoy spending time in the woods and or in the ocean just being about in the beauty of nature. I hope and pray to be able to meet your little or big angel because that is what a pet is an ANGEL and a beloved family member. please enjoy your day! it is my life. i do this for my job, but i do love all animals so i am more than happy to do this. im very patient and willing to just let them get to know me. i follow things to a tee that way your pet gets the care it needs

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets for about 5 years now. From dogs to cats and hamsters. I’ve always been the designated pet sitter for my neighbors and family! I am currently a stay at home mom so I am available any days of the week, and can work around any time you prefer! Pets will all have a clean and calm environment as I have no pets at my house and just one baby. They will take frequent potty breaks and walks. Food and water will always be out and available to them. I will provide updates and pictures throughout the day!

Our original house sitter (not from Rover) cancelled about a week away from departure. Because of the timing there were no kennel options (we don't do cheap with the babies), and Rover past sitters were all unavailable. Stephen came up with no previous jobs in this area but seemed ok on the site. So with our previous good experiences with Rover we decided to give him a try. He came over for about an hour the day after we picked him to meet the doggies and find out about the house which is large with a lot of automation. By the end of that meeting we were comfortable with his abilities. While we were away, he checked in with us daily, sent pictures and asked good questions on things that I had forgot to mention. The doggies took to him right away and ate well (one gets finnicky if he is worried) while having a good time with him. We always tell house sitters to make themselves at home and have never had a problem with the condition of the house when we returned. Stephen was no exception, he left the house clean, vacuumed, dishes clean and left the bedding as instructed by my wife. One of our dogs is very good at escaping and runs across roads, through yards and can get lost. Stephen apparently had no problems keeping Henry busy but, on a leash, outside of the house as observed on the outdoor Ring cameras during walks. We (including the doggies) look forward to seeing him again. We would highly recommend him for your consideration.

This is the second time Jaylyn has pet sit for us and we are so thankful for her care for our furry babies! We have four younger rescue dogs and Jaylyn is relaxed and chill with them and has a great sense of humor, which I so appreciate, while providing care for each of their unique personalities. At our first meet and greet there was some barking but before the visit was over our slightly more apprehensive and on guard dog was giving her kisses. Jaylyn didn’t stress our dogs, we watched her respecting their comfort zones and as a result they all did end up happily wanting her attention. Jaylyn put our minds at ease as we left them all for the first time for a few days in a row (she pet sit in our home) and she was the first we reached out to when we needed a day sitter now. Her willingness to accommodate what is important to us in the care of our dogs means a lot to us. I appreciate her correspondence while we are away too. Our dogs are our family and we feel at ease with them in Jaylyn’s care.

This is the first time I've ever needed to hire a pet sitter for my senior cat, so I was very nervous about having a stranger in my home and how my fur baby would react. However, Jennifer eased my mind about the whole process. She was understanding and communicative, which was greatly appreciated. This was just an an overnight trip, but she will be taking care of him again soon when I'll be gone longer. It's such a relief to know I can get some R&R knowing that my pet and my home are in good hands. ?

About: I have had a German Shepard growing up. I had the responsibility of feeding, walking, grooming and teaching him basic tricks and commands. My sister has a corgi who I have cared for, and loved for many years now. We love to go on walks together and play fetch. I follow directions very well and dogs really do love me. I have experience with new born puppies and dogs less then one year. I know about puppy tendencies and handle them well. I am comfortable around big dogs, small dogs, three legged dogs, all the pups are my favorites. I am free all days Tuesday and Wednesday, and Mondays evenings. I am visiting the area for the entire month with family and would love to spend some time with some lovely pets!! And make some money 😉 I cannot take care of pets in my own home, but would feel comfortable being in their usually space with them, hopefully having stuff to play with them with!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life that I have taken care all different breeds from corgis, dachshunds, basset hounds poodles, and even my rescue baby who’s a mutt. I also have volunteered at my local animal shelter which taught me a lot of skills about how to make a dog comfortable with you and gave me firsthand experience dealing with various different personalities and dog breeds. I have 2 dogs of my own that I care for one of which is a my rescue baby who I found on the street and nursed back to health. I’ve worked with senior dogs before bathing them, as well as helping them with the bathroom and with giving them their medications. I’ve also helped bottle feed newborn puppies who sadly lost their mother. I’m currently a college student and I have classes on Monday and Wednesday from 9 to 11:30 a class on Tuesday from 9:30 to 12. I will happily do early morning walks or check-in’s as long as they are before at least 30 minutes from when I have to be at my classes and walks and check-ins after 12 through the rest of the week. I am adapt at handling all kind of dogs and all with different personalities and am willing to able to do just about anything to make them the most comfortable they can be. When I’m in your house it’s your rules and I have no problems with be monitored if that makes you feel better. I’ll go at your pace
