“Melissa was great and checked in often so we knew our dogs were happy and doing well. We knew our dogs were in good hands and we would definitely book her again.”
“Lauriel is very responsible with Archie. She is communicative, prompt, respectful and always available. She respects my home, and genuinely cares for Archie.

“Kelsey was wonderful - she took great care of our pups, was communicative with us and left our home looking great (no small feat after days of rain and two dogs in and out of a muddy backyard!) We recommend highly and will absolutely reach out to her the next time we need a sitter for our girls!”
“We were a bit nervous having a stranger stay in our home to care for our 4 cats for our first big family vacation.

About: I have had pets in my life since I was little. Cats, dogs, bunnies, Guinea pigs, hamsters, and all have varied in age. I have pet sat for families who have snakes, geckos, cats with diabetes, all of which I have successfully taken care of. I have a pretty flexible schedule, and have been at other house 8+ hours a day. I even dog sat for a family for 8 weeks! Animals are a very important part of my life, and I will love yours just as much as my own:) I work part time at the moment and only nanny 2 days a week, both of which have flexible schedules perfect for the attention needed for the pets. At home we have an invisible fence for our dog to keep her safe and secure, but also to run free in the yard. I take her on 20-40 minute walks everyday to give her the exercise she needs. I spend time with my cats pretty much all day long, and do their cat litter twice a day! Whatever you need done for your pets, I'm your girl!
“Kept constant contact, sending photos and videos, updates on behaviors. It was my first time leaving Rebel but she made the transition smoother and easier for us both.”
“Miray was respectful of our home and was very kind to take Sandy to her grooming appointment. It was lovely to know that Rudy the cat had been napping with Miray. Miray had taken care of the cat brushings, playtimes, complicated feedings and litter box.”
“Eileen was an excellent house sitter! Extremely courteous and completed all that we asked and even more! I would highly recommend her! She even sent many photos of our animals!”
“After our regular pet sitter cancelled on us last minute, we were in a bind & decided to give Rover a try. We chose Amanda based on a couple reviews & her location. From the moment we met Amanda, she seemed very kind & caring. Our dog Charley took to her right away & sat down right next to her when they first met. Amanda sent us lots of pictures & updates which certainly helped put our minds at ease while away on vacation. Would definitely recommend Amanda & Rover to our friends & family.”
“Renee was an amazing cat sitter! Communicating with her was a total breeze and she sent tons of updates about her stay with my cat! She totally saved me when I needed a last minute sitter and I couldn’t recommend her services enough!! Thanks, Renee!”
About: Hi! I’ve been helping take care of dogs my entire life. I raised my own dogs since they were puppies all the way up until they went over the rainbow bridge at the ages at 15. I am a certified dog groomer and have worked for an animal hospital as well. I have been pet sitting for over 10 years and have experience with all ages, sizes, breeds and temperaments. I know how to administer medication and monitor for health issues. I like to be communicative with owners during my visits including sending photos of their pets throughout the day. I like to send the owners a summary of my visit at the end of my stay. I have open availability and like to make accommodations as much and as easy as possible for owners. Feel free to contact me at anytime! I like to be very attentive in all aspects of a dog’s life. I like to make sure all dietary requirements are met. Also if necessary all medications or supplements are given correctly.
“Grace was wonderful!! So attentive and shared lots of updates of our sweet boy. We didn’t worry one minute. She also kept our house so tidy we couldn’t even tell she was here. I absolutely recommend booking Grave for your pet sitting and house sitting needs!!”
“Virginia kept us updated on how our dogs were doing while we were gone. She gave extra love to our senior girlie and helped our little dog with her fireworks anxiety!”
About: I have extensive experience in walking, sitting, and training dogs. I have fostered 13 dogs in my home, and have had many pets of my own before that. I have babysat and fostered puppies as young as 8 weeks, and senior dogs as old as 16. I am familiar with animal CPR and available to take dogs out as often as needed. I am an online nursing student, so I am always available and at home. I am currently an online nursing student, so I am always available to take dogs out. When I foster puppies, I have them out every 1-2 hours as well as have plenty of play time and interaction. For boarding, my pick up and drop off hours are between 8 am - 8 pm. Anything outside of those hours will be an additional $20 charge. If you are 1-2 hours late picking up your pet, it will be an additional $20. I have a yard and dog-friendly neighborhood that I can take care of your dog in. The dogs are welcome to every area in my home including beds and couches! I want your dog to be as comfortable as I am.
“Grace took wonderful care of Milo over the weekend. She fed, played with, and gave him his medication. Grace sent me updates and pictures and even comforted Milo during a thunderstorm. Thank you!!”
About: Hello! I’m Zack. I spend most my time with my dogs. I currently have 2 dogs, Cow and Cozmo. They are Large mixed Breeds. I’ve only ever had large dogs, but I love all Animals, big and small. I even went to Vet Tech school for a short amount of time. If you request me to care for your doggo’s then I promise to give them as much love and affection as possible until you get back. I look forward to meeting all your furry friends. I currently don’t work so I have plenty of time on my hands. I can get there early and stay as long as needed. The only days I cannot work are the weekends. So if your pet gets lonely while you’re at work, I can stop by to walk them and play with them. Currently, I take Cow on walk around a lake. I make sure to bring water and a small water bowl to keep him hydrated. I also use a collar but I know that some dogs do better with harnesses. He goes on long walks but if that’s not your dogs thing, then i can go on short walks too. I always carry little baggies incase he needs to use the restroom. I also make sure to feed him special wet food in his diet to help his tummy. One of our previous dogs had to take medications for her hips. So if your dog takes medication, I can wrap it in peanut butter or cheese (or both) so they think they’re getting a very tasty treat. Also if your dog likes to run around I can always run with them or I if they like to relax and get pet, then thats okay too.

I know I never have to worry about my pet when I'm away - which takes a lot of stress off my mind. Stacey is very experienced and knowledgeable with animals. She was a dog groomer and also worked at a veterinary clinic. My dog is in safer hands with her than me!

17. Caleigh B.
“When my fist son was born I had left my dog Bucket (75 pound cane corso) with Caleigh for 3 weeks. I was nervous at first being that I have never been away from my dog longer than 12 hours, but Caleigh proved that it would feel almost as if I am there. She updated me daily on how he was doing, where he played at, and all the new puppy friends he made in Caleigh’s neighborhood. She has a natural way with animals, and treated Bucket as if he was her own. Caleigh is responsible, tentative, and genuinely cares about well-being. Whether it comes to play time or sticking to a strict diet/feeding schedule, you can count on Caleigh. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and great with animals, she’s the perfect choice!”

With his background as a vet tech from Fox College, Zachary brings not only genuine love and affection for pets but also expert-level knowledge when it comes to their health and well-being. He has a trained eye for spotting any potential health concerns, which can give tremendous peace of mind knowing that your pet is in such capable hands. Zachary is dependable, reliable, and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure your pet’s needs are fully met. He’s incredibly attentive, hardworking, and professional, while still being warm and friendly—both to pets and their owners.”
20. Gillian O.
“I had Gillian come by my house while I was out of town for the week to care for my two, extremely picky, cats. She did amazing! I felt comfortable having her my in my home, my cats were fed and watered, toys were out and played with. She locked up every time she left and had no scheduling issues. I highly recommend her to family and friends, and love having her available when needed and she is very dependable!”
