“Aaron stayed in my home for two weeks looking after my diabetic older cat. While my cat is not on insulin, it was such a comfort for me knowing Aaron was there and he took great care of him! I believe Aaron has a way with animals and befriended my shy kitty after a day or two. I knew I had made the right decision when we returned and my cat was very content. We will definitely have Aaron cat sit for us again! He was very dependable and personable. Thank you so much!!”


“Bella did a great job watching our pup while we were on vacation for an entire week. Our dog has resource guarding issues and other quirks. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures. Highly recommend her services.”


“Cassie was the perfect sitter for our pooch. She spent nine hours over two days with our dog Ginger who was never happier, but a little sullen when Cassie had to go. Cassie was punctual, totally professional and kept in close touch during her time with Ginger, sending updates and photos. We most highly recommend Cassie as the best sitter for your dog! She was a pleasure to work with.”


About: I’ve lived on a farm for most of my life, I’ve had many years of experience taking care of all sorts of animals as well as any types of administrative medicine and training! Pet care is always a joy to me, as a college student I try I balance life and school the same. Although I focus on my dreams in the near future I always go back to my roots with growing up with animals it’s my passion. My own animals at home which range from a variety of large farm animals and regular domesticated animals, I have a deep respect for animals and how they feel living in their environment. I believe all animals deserve the same treatment and respect, whether that be regular feeding and walking or even just playing with toys, I love making them feel special and comfortable.

About: Along with cats and dogs I have cared for multiple reptiles such as pythons and geckos, rabbits, hamsters and ferrets. Your pets are family and I will care for them as if they are mine. I am currently a part-time sitter as I’m also in college. I’m free any time during weekends, but I work as a Vet tech for an emergency clinic during the week so my schedule on rover isn’t always accurate. I try to be as flexible as I can :) I will follow instructions given and always ask the client first before an action if unsure. Your pet will be given the best care and my utmost attention.

“Andrew stayed with our 2 dogs overnight for 10 days while we were out of the country. Andrew was a great communicator and let us know how they were doing during our trip. He took them on multiple walks, doggie parks and car rides which we permitted. The dogs were very happy, and our house was in good shape upon our return. Very thankful for Andrew's service and professionalism; I highly recommend Andrew for overnight pet sitting.”


“Rachel was great with Bluey! Communicated great, took great care of our home, and got our puppy though his first snow AND dogsitting experience! Would definitely recommend to anyone!”


“Colin is an outstanding young man who went above & beyond while watching our dog & cat while we were away for the weekend. From the meet & greet before the overnight stay, we could tell that Colin was an animal lover & very experienced in caring for pets. While away, Colin went above & beyond in making sure Memphis & Knox were extra loved on and cared for, and even sent daily updates with photos/videos. We don’t trust just anyone to care for our pets, and without hesitation would recommend Colin to anyone looking for pet care!”
