Elizabeth was great! We were in the area from out of state for a wedding. We were also first time Rover users. Elizabeth walked us through the process, was an excellent communicator, and took great care of our dogs. We highly recommend her and if we lived in the area, would use her services again.

Jade is hands down the best pet sitter I've ever hired. She followed all instructions exactly. She was on time for all drop in visits and took her time to do things right. All of her commutation was professional with just the right about of detail. She also got great pictures of both my cats, even the one who hides from everyone.

Nataliia was amazing with our senior pup! He has oral medication that he needs to take every morning without food (and can be quite stubborn with this) and she handled it so easily. I felt very confident and pleased knowing my sweet boy was in her care. I highly recommend her!

About: I have owned my own animals my whole life. I currently have a Doberman who has Addison’s disease and requires daily medication and weekly injections. I worked at a rescue for 3 years when I was in college so I know a lot about dog behavior and care. My husband and I own a small masonry business. I currently assist him on the jobsite when needed but mostly take care of the administrative duties so my schedule is very customizable to your pet care needs I am comfortable working with pets of all ages and in a variety of environments. Wether you prefer drop in visits in your home or long walks with your dog I can accommodate many different options.

About: Welcome, y'all! I love watching dogs. We watch kitty cats too 😁. Cheapest rates around! Let me make it easier for you to celebrate your vacation and holidays! Let me sit for your pup. I...love... dogs! My parents were dog breeders for years. As a youngster, I was responsible for many of the chores. As an adult, I have always had pets. I know how important your dog is to you. Your dog is your 'baby'. We are definitely dog lovers in this house! Big dog specialist. I love the little dogs too, though! ☺️💪🎄🎁❤️‍🩹 I will treat your pup like my own. I am a teacher during the day. I'm usually home by 3. I'm home every afternoon and every night and every weekend. I do have flexibility in my work schedule should they need arise. I have a dog lead hooked up to the house and it goes all the way back to the maple tree on the back of the property. 20 ft in either direction gives Fido plenty of room to go to the bathroom. Otherwise, your pup is in the house with me and my family. I am offering dog boarding services. This is a friendly Christian home. Lots of love to share.

I was very nervous leaving my 17 year old cat and my guinea pig for 5 days, but I should not have been. Danielle was wonderful with them! She came for twice daily visits, loved on them and gave them great care! I would definitely recommend her to care for your furs!

About: I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for a puppy and two orange cats with varying needs, including medical care and anxiety management. I’m comfortable with medications, special routines, and recognizing individual pet personalities. My experience with an anxious cat taught me to be patient and observant while creating calm, structured environments. I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated throughout their time away. I work remotely Monday-Friday on a flexible but structured schedule (7am-4pm or 10am-6pm), which allows me to reliably fit pet care into my work day. Remote work means I can provide local visits and midday check-ins, and I’m particularly well-suited for pets with medical needs or anxiety that benefit from frequent attention and stability. I’m detail-oriented, punctual, and follow your instructions precisely. I am especially attuned to anxious pets or those with medical needs. I watch for common behavioral and health changes, communicate regularly with updates, and treat every pet like family.

Elizabeth did a fantastic job in her visits with my cat Star. She did everything I asked of her including a couple of last minute instructions I had while away. She also sent messages with pictures which gave me plenty of piece of mind knowing my little buddy was okay. I highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to watch their pet. Superb job!

About: I am currently studying Animal Science at my university. I am hoping to become a vet one day, so getting the opportunity to practice what I've been taught with your pet will be very beneficial to my carreer going forward! I also had a 15 year old black lab that had a couple of health issues, I was able to give her adequate care for her remaining years. I'm currently a college student studying Animal Science, on a summer break so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Whenever you need me, I will be there. I'm also willing to work weekends and nights! I will make sure your pet is well feed, groomed and have frequent bathroom breaks. I will also take them to the dog park or even on car rides! My studies have also taught me what to look for if your animal isn't feeling well or is in distress, along with how to properly treat them if necessary.

Nick has bonded really well with my little meatball pitbull. We're very appreciative of the great care he provides for our girl but even the little things he does that are above and beyond such as bringing up the trash barrel and bringing in the Amazon packages! Thank you Nick for all you do!
