“I cannot say enough good things about Dalton. I am always so nervous to leave my dogs and trust someone else to care for them, but Dalton made sure to send me constant updates on how they were doing. The boys are always so happy to Dalton and that reassures me that he is taking great care of them. Dalton not only took excellent care of dogs but also left the house spotless.”


“She took amazing care of my dog! Communication was incredible - plenty of updates and always double-checked with me if she had a question. Loved knowing my pup was in such thoughtful hands 🥰”


“Where to start- responsible, timely, and a real animal lover. Got lots of updates and pics and felt so relieved to know my animals were in good hands. Definitely don’t hesitate to book Isabella! Looking forward to being a returning customer.”


“Wonderful companion. My dog loved him and so did we. Professional and polite. On time, shared pictures. Great in the home. Would use him again and again.”


“Rikki did a great job with the dogs. She stayed in our home and was with them the majority of the time, as agreed upon. She was friendly and personable and sent updates daily, complete with pics of our happy pups. Already have her booked twice more this year!”


“Katie was fantastic. We will definitely be using her services in the future. Highly recommend!”


“The dogs LOVE Lizzy. I appreciated the photos and check-ins. Lizzy is great with my old guy who is very particular and needs meds. I will book again!”


About: I have house-sit and drop-in experience. I can do drop-ins and/or stay the night. I have taken care of pets up to a week at a time. Stayed with a mix of cats and dogs or one or the other. I have experience with dogs of smaller or larger breeds. I can stay overnight on weekdays but will have to do drop-ins around my college classes. I usually want to provide care for pets during the weekends because I will be more flexible with time and can spend the whole weekend with them and house-sit as well. I usually ask what the client’s schedule for feeding their pets is and how frequently they take their dogs out to use the restroom. If they have set schedules then I will always go by that and if they don’t, I go based off my own experience. Playtime is so important for active pets, so doing that is so important to me. I also ask if they would like for the dogs to go out on walks. I will take them out on walks, depending on if the client is comfortable with their dog going out.

“Maegan made it very easy to relax while we were away visiting family out of town. She provided consistent updates, kept the house very tidy, and gave a lot of affection to our fur-babies while we were gone. I highly recommend Maegan, even for the pickiest of pet owners and most active furry littles. We will definitely be using her again for future trips!”


About: I have over 30 years of experience taking care of a variety of animals including: dogs, cats, horses, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, snakes, fish, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I have raised animals from birth up until their assent to heaven. I work for Uber, so I have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to fit your needs. I have two dogs myself, and while they come first, I have plenty of time and love to give. I am a very clean and trustworthy person and your animal family member will always be in a safe and loving environment. I want every animal to get their exercise, so if that's a walk or just playing I will make sure they do so in the most fun way possible.

“Michael is a gem! He is chill and my dogs love him. If you are looking for a kind and trustworthy soul to hang out with your pets, he’s your guy. He is very respectful of our house and follows all of my crazy directions for my needy dogs. Since we work from home and are with our dogs the majority of most days, it was nice to find someone who will actually hang around isn’t gone 10 hours a day. We come home to happy, chill dogs and that’s all that matters. I recommend Michael 100%!!”

“Kathy was great.”


About: Have been loving and taking care of dogs of my own since I can remember. My family has never been without animals and I've grown to be very passionate about them. Would love to incorporate taking your fur baby on walks into the active lifestyle I very much enjoy! Because I'm a realtor on the side doing so would be a breeze. With my own dogs lots of love and playtime is essential every day. Your dog deserves nothing less and I'd be more than happy to give them this!

Bates pet parents share their Rover experiences
Maegan took such good care of my babies. I was nervous to leave them with sitter for the first time but they loved her (even the cat that loves no one). I loved getting the updates while I was gone.

Charcy was really great with our dogs. I've never used a dog sitter before and she made the entire experience as easy as possible. She stayed in constant communication about everything going on, and sent pictures daily. We had her stay at the house and she treated it with respect. If she's available again, we would love to book her again.

William was great with my cat! Super communicative and understanding when my plans changed. My pet just loved him. Would recommend to anyone.

Erin was great! Our dogs loved her and seemed quite happy and relaxed when we got home from our trip.
