“Great person and very reliable, our dogs loved her. She fed them, played, took for walks and cleaned up after. We were getting pictures and messages while we were away, it was such relief knowing that the puppies are safe and looked after. Will definitely using her services in the future. Thank you”

“Marilyn was wonderful with our dogs. They warmed up to her right away and they got along great together. When I asked her to come a bit sooner than originally planned, she immediately agreed saying it wouldn’t be an issue. We went over everything I had written down and all went well”

About: I have had animals my whole life-Whether that be Dogs, cats, rodents and even reptiles! I have always gravitated towards animal care and giving the best experiences possible! I have worked in a Dog Kennel for the last three years and have learned so many helpful tips when it comes to caring for pets! These skills range from boarded dogs to animals who faced amputations and needed post-op care! I am so excited to meet your pet and give them lots of cuddles and kisses! I am currently a third-year college student in a private university but i would love to walk dogs and house sit other pets during the week and on the weekends! My availability will become much greater during my holiday breaks from school, widening my ability to spend even more time with your furry (or scaley) friend! I am very skilled in dog walking whether it be very well leash trained dog or one that still needs some guidance! When it comes to drop-ins or pet sitting, I know all animals have very specific diets and can follow any directions needed for feeding time! I have also been known to give very good cuddles to pets of all shapes and sizes. I am also well practiced in administering medications as needed!
“Alexys did a great job with our kitten and puppy. She kept us updated on how they were doing. Our puppy is skittish around new people and things and she was able to win him over. She was also very professional and our home was as we left it. We will be using her again in a few days after having her here for the past week.”

“Jillian did a fantastic job with Jade! Great communication, cute pictures, kept the house clean and even brought in our mail! Jade had a great time with her. We recommend Jillian as a dogsitter!”


About: I have two puppies of my own, that I love and adore. I have 3 years experience in healthcare, and love to take care of people and animals :) I am working part time at a hospital. My schedule varies from week to week, but I am as flexible as possible. Reach out to me and we can make something work :) I have two dogs so I can not offer my own house, but am available to come and stay at your house/ stop by for however long you need me to.
“Brandon was great and handled all three of our pups with equal attention and love. He was very respectful of the house and provided constant updates on everything. We were highly impressed and appreciative and will definitely look to have him return. Thanks!”

“Randi was absolutely wonderful. She was flexible and was very attentive to my dog. My pup is a little on the nervous side, especially with people but she was almost instantly at ease with Randi. Can’t say enough about her.”

“Naomi is just the best! Each time she watches our pup, we have full confidence that he is in the best hands - he loves her! She sends beautiful pictures and keeps us updated while we are away. She also goes above and beyond in taking care of our home while we are gone. She is our first choice always when we need someone to care for our pup ❤️”

“Ari did a great job taking care of Shadow while I was away. He provided updates, and pictures and videos daily, and was awesome about following the care instructions I provided. I think Shadow was a little sad to see Ari go, and I would definitely rebook!”

“I was thousands of miles aways and had no worries back home, with Hailey caring for my sweet Rosie and looking over my home. I had to change the times and days of my reservation several times and Hailey was so patient and understanding. I can't say enough great things about her responsiveness and level of care and attention.”
“Hardy was excellent. Super communicative. Felt very comfortable leaving our two cats and dogs with him. Also, he left the house cleaner than he found it. Super grateful!”

About: Ever since I was little I have loved animals, so much so that when I was 12 I convinced my mother to let me get a dog, despite her fears of them. I raised, trained (haphazardly 😅), and groomed my dog from a puppy to an adult till she died of heart worms. After, I adopted my sister’s dog when she no longer wanted her. Grooming and taking care of her till I went off to college taught me a lot about caring for an older dog. In between dogs and even now I help my friends with their cats, feeding, grooming, and watching over them when their owners are out of town. I have a lot of experience taking care of pets and I am ready to tackle whatever yours may throw at me! I work part time mornings throughout the week so after I get off I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets. I can devote a great deal of time to walking or sitting. The more time you need the more time I get to spend with your cute fur babies making it a win/win. Typically I like to feed pets around every 3-5 hours, but I am perfectly capable of adhering to any sort of schedule or rules you may have regarding feeding times. I am extremely flexible so if there are any specifics when it comes to the care of your pet I will have little to no problem sticking to your routine.

“We really enjoyed having Dana come stay with our dog Lucy. Dana kept us updated and made us feel at ease about everything, and Lucy and he did great together. We have already booked our next time for Dana to come back.”

About: I fostered and trained service dogs for three years. In that time I also worked with a canine behaviorist who uses behavioral modification instead of treat training. I have done nail trims on many different dogs. During the summer I make my own work hours working with dogs. During the school year I work weekdays substitute teaching but am available weekends or after 4 pm. I am not able to pet sit at my home at this time as my housing does not allow animals. Over the summer I can either stay in your home full time or stop by to let your dog(s) out or take them for a walk.
About: I'm currently training for a marathon so I love running in the park frequently. If your dog is super energetic, I would love to run with him/her to tire them out so that they will be calmer at home. Back when I had my dog Archie, I would run with him everyday so that he would sleep well at night. I've also had experience with training puppies such as potty training and simple commands. I'm patient when it comes to training. I'm currently a WFH software engineer so I have plenty of time to make sure your dog gets all the attention he/she needs! I am currently a WFH software engineer so I can take care of your dog basically anytime provided a day or two notice in advance. I have a big backyard which would allow your dog plenty of space to run around. I also do have a couple of younger cousins who love dogs too and they are willing to also help make sure your dog gets all the attention that he/she needs.
About: With over 40 years of caring for pets, I bring not only a lifelong love for animals but also knowledge and intuition from decades of hands-on experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home. This allows me the flexibility to give pets the attention they need throughout the day- whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or simply being present to provide comfort and companionship. My schedule makes it easy to adapt to each pet's routine and ensure they're well cared for at all times. In my home, pets have a safe and comfortable environment to enjoy. I have a fenced yard, which allows them space to play and exercise securely. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection, along with a routine that includes feeding, walks, and playtime.
Bustleton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Emily was AMAZING!!! I can’t say enough about how great she was! We have an anxious dog who is afraid of most people. However, the moment Jax met Emily he was completely comfortable!! She took such great care of him and our house and was fantastic with communication. We are just so grateful .

Julie was great with our puppy! He is a bit challenging at 14 weeks old but she didn't mind and you could tell he loved her. We also appreciated how she sent us constant updates through out the day including photos and videos. We will definitely be booking with her again.

Beka was great with our home and kitties. She came over ahead of time to get the "lay of the land" and make friends with them. We were out of the country for 10 days and she stayed in our home and made sure our kitties were well taken care of and well loved. This was the first time we came home from such a trip where the kitties weren't stressed out from being alone. She was entirely responsible with our home and kitties. We will definitely book her again when we travel next!

I was very happy with Shanice. She took good care of my dog . She send several pictures and a video. I really like that. My dog was relaxed and appeared comfortable around her. Shanice is very good on updates which is important. I will definitely rebook her when needed.
