About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since childhood. My friends, family, and co-workers have trusted me to care for their fur babies! I have a senior pittie with reactive/aggressive behavior, so I do have experience and empathy towards that! I work full time Monday-Thursday 7:30am-5pm but can drop in after work or later in the evening as well. Friday-Sunday are my more flexible days! I fully respect the owner’s schedule for their pet and will follow whatever instructions are needed to ensure your pet is safe and cared for properly. I would ask the same for my own!

“This was my first time leaving my dog for more than a day and my first time using Rover services so I was definitely nervous… but I didn’t need to be! Holly did great taking care of my boys and I can tell they were well cared for, played with, and cuddled. She was great to communicate with and left the house in great shape. I will definitely be using her again if I’m in need ◡̈”

About: I have an open schedule besides classes that get done early. I grew up with multiple cats and had a Great Dane when I was little. Being a college student, I have flexibility that can help with pet care. Most of my classes are before noon so that frees up a lot of time. Of course simply feeding them and making sure they use the bathroom, but beyond that playing with them and being a human presence in the room so they have a friend.

“We are SO grateful that Soly was available to stay at our house for three weeks while we were away! Everything went so smoothly starting with the meet & greet. Soly arrived at our house ready with questions and took thorough notes on everything we went over. He did such an amazing job caring for our dog, Phoebe as well looking after our turtle that is housed in a 75 gallon tank. We felt very at ease with receiving regular updates on how things were going and appreciated how attentive Soly was with our pets. He went above and beyond to make sure all our plants were watered, mail was collected, and parts of the house were vacuumed and cleaned. Soly even made a special trip to the store to grab more lettuce for our turtle! After a long day of traveling, we came back to a clean house and happy pets. And a new toy and treat for Phoebe sitting on our table :) ‘Most Thoughtful Pet Sitter’ award goes to Soly. We will definitely be using him as our go-to sitter!!”

About: Im a reliable and active animal lover. I’ve cared for dogs for family and friends and treat every pet like my own. I’m attentive to each animals needs whether it’s going for a walk, playtime, or giving them company. I’m a nurse looking to hangout with some furry friends and get some extra time outside. I’m a nurse working full time looking to find a way to spend extra time outside. During the week I am available early in the mornings and in the evenings. I am available anytime during the weekends. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your pet will be treated like family. I have one three year old cat at home who is shy but friendly. I prioritize constant supervision, secure spaces, and clear communication with owners, including updates and photos. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are always my top priorities.

About: I’ve been doing overnight dog sitting for 7 years, I have many reoccurring parents reach out to me! I am a student getting my masters who loves to go on walks!

I care for the pets just like I would if they are mine, I always find time to make sure they are not left alone for an extended people of time and they always love me!

About: I’m passionate when it comes to working with animals and if there’s any special requests that need to be met, I’ll make sure they're taken care of. I've been around dogs and cats since childhood and know the importance of making sure they're cared for while family is away. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out. I’m accepting new clients now and am flexible when it comes to scheduling. I work part time at my other job and always keep Rover active in my calendar. I don't travel out of town much so last minute bookings will work for me. Communication is key to creating a care schedule that works for you and your furry friend. I'm detail-oriented in all environments I'm in. This means your pets will always have an extra pair of eyes to keep them safe wherever they go. I build trust with my clients and their furry friends by being reliable, honest and accountable. Sending pictures or messaging any concerns I may have about your pet is one way I build this with my clients.

Yvonne (Vonnie) did an excellent job of dog sitting. Vonnie was wonderful with my dog who can be a little shy/anxious and slow to warm up to new people. I got update videos and pictures consistently every day. My space was also kept nice and clean, which I so appreciated. I will definitely be booking with Vonnie again.

Melissa was a wonderful sitter for our small picky dog! In our meet and greet I could tell she was passion and excited to get to know Spruce. She sent us a ton of photos and cute stories about their time together. She sat at our house and I was pleased to come home to a happy dog and a well cared for home. There were little signs all over the the house showing that she cared for him and the property! She left us a sweet note about how she was thankful to get to spend time with Spruce. I look forward to using her again in the future!

Colene did a wonderful job this past weekend with our fourteen-year-old, 50-lb, mixed breed pup Brooklyn. Brooklyn can be a finicky eater now, in her old age, and has some arthritis that makes getting up and going out a bit harder for her than it used to be. She enjoys it once she gets up, but it can be a struggle to convince her to get up and go out. But Colene gently encouraged her, and Brooklyn ate her meals and took walks during her two-night stay, which doesn't sound like much if you have a puppy, but is really excellent with an elderly dog. I highly recommend Colene! Virginia

Brian took wonderful care of our two boys. He kept us updated, sent lots of photos even when we weren't responding (we were overseas), which was the most appreciated. He was flexible with our travel schedule, and went above and beyond by taking care of other tasks we were struggling with. The dogs clearly loved him—and his dog, Pig! We’ll definitely be booking him again.

Emily was great!! We were gone for 8 days and she stayed at our house and took amazing care of our dog, Zoey, our cat, Lewis, and our home. She was extremely respectful, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. We received regular updates while we were away, and she made sure Zoey got her walks and plenty of attention. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing both of our pets were in good hands. When we got home, the house was exactly how we left it and Zoey and Lewis were both happy and well cared for. We honestly have no complaints whatsoever and would absolutely trust Emily to stay in our home and watch them again. Highly recommend her!
