“Chyna was great with timeliness and communication. Our little one was a scaredy cat, but it was nice to know someone was checking in and ensuring she was well fed and ok. We will definitely use her again!”
“Mikaela took wonderful care of my kitties, rooster and lizard while I was away. It was great peace of mind knowing they were being checked on daily. It was also nice having a record of what was done each day with pictures, along with a report of how everyone was. How fun seeing your pets through someone else's eyes. Makayla's descriptions cracked me up, the antics of all of them in their own way. She described my rooster as being sassy to her one day, I really did lol because that's a perfect description of him. Overall I am so incredibly pleased with my experience with Makayla. She is very likeable right from the start and easy to communicate with. Setting up an initial meeting was simple. She understood my instructions, had no problem asking for clarification if she didn't understand or forgot a detail. Everything was in order when I returned home. I'm happily pleased with the overall experience and would book with Makayla again. Thank you Makayla!!”
“Knowing George had a friend come and take care of him let us relax and enjoy our vacation. So much appreciated. We will use Laura again in the future. Thank you!”
“I have hired Zoe twice now to take care of my cat. She is always on time, sends her report cards and pictures! My cat is very responsive to her and enjoys her company. I will continue to hire Zoe if she is available. I trust her completely.”
“Chase is a stellar pet sitter and treats my Wally like his own kitty. Wally has never opened up to anyone as quickly as he did with Chase, and I truly feel like Chase has a gift with animals. Chase is very respectful of my home, always cleans up after himself, and sends me photos and videos of his time with Wally throughout his stay. I cannot recommend him enough and rate him a 10 if I could! Your pet will be in great hands with Chase. :)”
“Amanda did a great job taking care of our 2 kitties for several days, visiting twice a day, and was very attentive during the meet & greet. We will be asking her to cat-sit for us again!”
About: I have a lot of experience with various animals besides dogs and cats. I also have worked with live stock, lizards and exotics. I worked at a massive boarding kennel were I learned to administrate various medications pills and insulin shots, learned basic training techniques, and over all general care for domestic animals. From this experience I started my own pet sitting business which I did off and on for a few years. Then pick up some business for a little extra cash in dog walking and pet sitting. I have taken a break from that to raise my daughter and become more established at my current job, but miss working with animals and would like to get back to helping those I can. I mainly would like to assist in dog walking, but if some pet sitting needs to be had, I'd be more than happy to assist there as well. I found from working in the boarding kennel, many dogs do find it more comfortable in a home setting then a kennel. I do work full time, M-Th 6:30 to 5 pm. I can take in 1 to 2 dogs in my home during this time, I do have a dog door and do come home for an hr for lunch. I do have a dog, so any dogs in my home would need to get along with mine. However, I can do dog walking in the evenings on Thursdays starting at 6 pm to 8 pm during summer months. Otherwise Fridays and weekends are best. Any time Friday, though occasionally I may not be available in the afternoons due to dropping off my daughter, Sat I can be available anytime, and Sunday Mornings and Evenings are best. Some afternoons are available if I don't have to pick up my daughter. I have a dog door with a 4 ft fence and a 6 ft fence on the sides separating my neighbors and I. If your dog is playful, I have a very playful and submissive dog. I'm very respectful of other peoples space and am great at communicating the needs of the owner for their pet. I'm accustomed to following written instructions and do like to meet ahead of time to meet the pet and go over feeding and/or medication instructions. I may have my 5 year old daughter with me, however, if the animal does not do well with children, please communicate that so no incidences happen. If I cannot have my daughter around, will be harder for me to commit to any sort of sitting or walking.
“Kari is amazing! She is naturally caring and compassionate, my cat warmed up to her immediately. I really appreciated her check-ins and pictures every visit. And she took wonderful care of my plants! I highly recommend her. Thank you, Kari!!”
About: My first job when I was a kid was to walk my neighbor's dogs. Since then, I've worked and volunteered with several different animal organizations, completed different training courses, handled dozens of different dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every animal is different, and I respect each and every one! As an artist, I find caring for pets the perfect balance to studio time—nothing inspires a break like a cold nose nudging your elbow or a purring cat settling onto your sketchbook. Pets are treated like family. I believe structure and exercise are important and look for a relaxed demeanor to know that the animals needs have been met.
“Jazmine did a fab job with my old puppy. He was applied and loved while I had to be out of town. I’ve never used a sitter before, but would ABSOLUTELY use this lovely human again.”
“Exceptional young woman!!!”
“This is the second time Melissa is looking after our two cats, one of which has chronic ear and kidney problems and requires quite a lot of care. Melissa is amazing, and we are thankful for all her help. We will definitely book her next time if she is available!”
About: I have cared for many animals over the years, and always treat them as if they were my own. I strive to make your animals feel comfortable and loved while you’re away! I am currently a full-time student, so I am unavailable some days of the week. However, I am available to sit most days of the week! I do not offer services out of my home due to having other animals, but I’m more than happy to care for your dogs just as you would if you were home!
“So nice to be able to travel without worrying about our pets while we're away. This is the second time Samantha has taken care of our animals. Highly recommend.”
“Edward was great with my mobility impaired pup!”
About: I've been caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors since I was a kid. I've trained puppies since I was little, and when I got my Golden Doodle, I did three years of dog training through 4-H. Those years gave me a load of hands on time with dogs of all temperament and training levels. I've cared for a lot of different animals, at varying levels of needed attention, from dogs and cats, to birds and reptiles, even horses and livestock. I love spending time with animals, whether hooved, pawed, or scaled, and I'd love to care for your pets like they're my own :) I am currently unemployed, and love being around dogs, so I have more than enough time to play with and spend time with your pups! I have a lot of experience with drop in visits/sitting, and would love to play with and take care of your dogs in the environment they're used to and comfortable in.
About: Since I was young, I’ve had a special connection with animals. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. I’ve also been a foster parent for dogs with special needs until they find their forever home. I have house sat and pet sat for many family and friends and have been providing these services through rover for the past 2.5 years. I’m a healthcare worker, and have done home health in the past so I’m comfortable going into others homes. I’m reliable, responsible and trustworthy. I can guarantee your home and pets will be in great care. I do work full time Monday-Thursday. I’m off Friday-Sunday and have full availability for dog walking and pet sitting during the weekend. During the week I can go back to the home and spend time with your animals during my hour lunch. I’m available for overnight petsitting in your home 7 days a week. I live in an apartment, so I can bring small animals in for pet daycare. I have a small yard, but plenty of area for long walks outside my home. I also offer house sitting/pet sitting in the clients home.
About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life, mainly dogs, cats, birds, and some reptiles. I have some formal training in basic dog behavior/ dog obedience training as well as nose work through having my own dogs go though formal training. I am currently working a full time job, and my availability is limited to Monday through Friday after 3:30 pm with advanced notice. I may be available some weekends with advanced notice. I am a very detail oriented and observant of each animal and their behavior. I adjust accordingly to each animal's needs and requirements. I provide water, food, walks, play time sessions, some basic training if the customer is interested, and at home visits.
“Over all I am pleased with Brooke's visits. They were timely and the pictures of Jet were a nice touch.”
About: I am an outdoor enthusiast that loves to take my dogs on adventures, they are my best friends! I believe that positive reinforcement is the only way to treat pets. No yelling, no hitting, no shaming. Man's best friend deserves to be loved even when their owners are away. My goal is to make them feel at home while they are with me. Lots of play time, a tired dog is a happy dog. I have experience with high anxiety dogs and health issues. Video chat with your dog while you are away. Special diet and other needs can be accommodated. I work full time Monday-Friday and have weekends off. I have a flexible schedule and can help get your pets some exercise when or just give them some attention when you're busy My own pets are very used to their schedule so I prefer to learn and accommodate your pets schedule to make them as comfortable as possible along with lots of attention and play time

16. Jon A.
“Jon truly has a way with dogs and cats. They seem to calm down and be happy in his presence. An incident a few days ago comes to mind, showing his ability to care for animals. He was at a neighbor of both of ours, checking on her dogs. He came out of her house and a stray dog was outside. He got it to come up to him, but there wasn’t a tag, soon there were 7 dogs! I remembered that another neighbor nearby, had a lot of dogs, so he literally led the dogs to their home, so in a few minutes, he cared for the safety of 11 dogs! The first neighbor had 4!”
