“The best dog sitter I have ever had. She offered to do more than what was needed by leaps and bounds! And her care for the dogs were nothing less than amazing. I would recommend her above ever other sitter on rover! Book now!!!”


“We just returned from a 2 week trip, and Cory provided care for our 5 cats. He did a fabulous job! 3 of the cats were elusive, but the other 2 warmed up to him. He saw to all of their needs, and also fed the birds and squirrels for us. He did all we asked of him, and I was confident that they were in good hands. I highly recommend Cory, and will reach out to him for future needs. Thank you, Cory for the great job.”

“Brad does a great job for us. He is always prompt and sends us pictures during every visit. Our two 75 lb rowdies were very happy and well cared for. We will definitely continue to use Brad to care for our dogs when we're out of town.”

About: I have 7 years of experience working with senior dogs who need a little extra care when it comes to medications and transportation. I am able to lift 140 lbs to help the forever puppies with powder sugar faces. I am currently between jobs after graduating and have plenty of time to go on “w.a.l.k’s” or play with pups! I have a lot of availability! I am very responsible when it comes to pet care and I am on call 24/7 for any pet needs. I keep a tight schedule for medications and have a keen eye for pill tricksters.
About: I have had pets of all shapes and sizes, all phases of life for my own entire life. I love getting to know the personalities of the pets in my life to make us both comfortable and confident in our environment! I am currently working part-time so I have a lot of availability to work out a schedule that works for you and your furry friend. I am happy to discuss special needs or extra details important for making your four legged family member feel safe and cared for while you are away.
About: I have been watching the pets of neighbors, friends, and family for as long as I can remember. Whether it is dropping by for a visit while an owner is at work, or spending the week with dogs while their parents are on vacation, I’m ready! I am a student in flight school currently working towards getting my flight instructor certificate, with a lot of free time to watch your pets! I treat your home like my own! Very cleanly with a focus on detail and caring for pets to the owners request. As a pet owner myself, I understand accidents can happen and am always ready to clean up.

Rylee M.
“Rylee is an incredibly kind person who is absolutely amazing with pets of all kinds!! I have never met someone who is better with animals than her. They are great with meeting pets with where they are, respecting boundaries and encouraging growth and training habits. Rylee is also a great communicator and incredibly trustworthy regardless of the situation. Pets also adore her, often warming up within minutes (including dogs with separation anxiety and cats that otherwise are not social). They are also great with non traditional pets! Rylee handles reptiles and fish with just as much care as she interacts with furry friends. Her leopard gecko is genuinely one of the best behaved pets I have ever met!”

Coleman R.
“Coleman has taken care of our dogs for over 8 years. He is very dependable and we can always count on him. He is always up for playing, walking, or snuggling our girls. One of our dogs has medical needs and he is comfortable giving the medicine and making sure it is timed correctly. Our girls love when Coleman walks in the door, he is one of their favorite people. I highly recommend Coleman for all of your pet needs!”
