“Dustin was great with our dogs! He came over for a meet and greet and he got right on their level. Our dog Hank is tentative of strangers and Dustin spent the time to let Hank get comfortable with him. He showed up every day on time and spent extra time with our dogs. He sent us detailed notes and great pictures. I was sure that my dogs were in good hands when Dustin was with them! We will definitely be booking again in the future.”


“Savy helped us to take care of our dog Baguira, she played and spent time with her, shared pictures and concerns with us to make sure she was ok, she even took care of couple of accidents our dog had, our dog was very happy around her and we'll be happy to contact Savy again when needed.”


“Wow, Bobby is definitely the best sitter we have ever had. We asked him to do a drop in for our cats while we were out of town and he really went above and beyond. We were so happy to see our babies were cared for by such a kind, attentive person. Thank you Bobby! You'll be our go-to for the future 😊”



“Great taking care of our cats for a week. Thanks for trying to introduce Ruby, your dog. Unfortunately one cat wasn’t as curious. But you did track down Steen and send is pics to let him know he was doing ok. We appreciate the extra effort!”


“Byron did a couple drop ins for our cats and was awesome! He was super punctual and attentive. We were so glad our cats were cared for while we were out of town.”

“Lillian was SO fantastic. I am so grateful that Newt was in such good hands them, updates were incredible and Newt was such a happy camper the whole time i was away due to Lillian’s dedication. THANK YOU!”


“He was very communicative and even did extra things that I forgot to ask him to do in the midst of travel prep — e.g., taking out my garbage bins. Highly recommend!”


“Iris is wonderful! She clearly loves my dog, and sends tons of adorable pictures of them together. She has also accommodated my weird nursing schedule when she can and offered referrals to other Rover friends who might be able to step in when she can’t. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”


“Melissa took great care of our anxious cat and went out of her way to make him feel comfortable. She’s a great communicator and was able to quickly accommodate a last minute schedule change on our end. Highly recommend her as a sitter!”


“I have nothing but positive things to share about Rebecca. This was our first time using Rover and we now have no hesitations to use it again. Not only was she friendly, fun and considerate to us, she was also this way to our cat.”


“Rachel was so fantastic for our cat Frenchfry! Communicating with Rachel was so easy, and they wrote detailed report cards that made me feel confident in the care Frenchfry was receiving :)”


“Carly is so great with our cats and always gives such sweet and reassuring updates. They were our first choice for a long international trip and took great care of Spike and Angel while we were gone. They were also super helpful with other tasks like trash and mail. They are truly a lovely human and we highly recommend them to any other cat parent!”


About: I have always loved animals, and grew up with pet dogs, cats, birds, and fish. Rain or shine, I love getting outside and being active with pets—going to the park, playing with a frisbee or ball, or taking a quick jog. I know that all pets are unique, and I’m comfortable meeting the needs of animals who might be more anxious or need extra attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority, so I’d like to know about any particular fears, allergies, or special care they might need before meeting them. I also like knowing about their favorite treats and games. :) I have experience caring for both cats and dogs at all stages of life. I’m very comfortable with most pet care tasks, including feeding, grooming, exercise, administering medications and snuggling! I would love to dote on your furry family member!

About: I have had pets my entire life so I am very good at communicating with them, especially cats and dogs, and understanding their boundaries and what they need. I've had some minor (unprofessional) experience training a puppy, and I would be happy to further explore that! I am a college student on summer break who needs to work, so I am available when you are! I'm available all days of the week at all times. The first thing I do is feed, water, and take care of bathroom needs (litter box/going for a walk) for the animal(s) and then I will spend quality time with them if that's something the animal wants.

“We have been working with Jess for a while now and she has been amazing since day one! She has shown true care, compassion, patience, and love for both of our pets. She has put in the extra effort to accommodate the needs of our senior dog and takes the time to play with our young and rambunctious cat every time she stops by. Her willingness and ability to work with us when our schedules have unexpectedly changed has been incredible. Wonderfully communicative, passionate, and kind. Having Jess be there for our pets has brought us tremendous peace of mind.”


About: I’ve been a pet lover all of my life. I was raised around and assisted in caretaking for pets from a very early age, living on a ranch. I started becoming the designated friends and family pet sitter when I was in high school. This privileged role has continued throughout my adult years, and I feel honored that the people I care about trust me to provide quality care for their furry loved ones. It feels like a natural transition to want to offer this level of care to members of my community as well. I have experience in training puppies, as well as caring for senior dogs. I’ve predominantly worked with medium-sized to large breed dogs, but please know I feel comfortable working with all sizes of pups. I’m currently a full time student, which means my school schedule allows me the opportunity to have flexible work hours. This gives me ample time to play and care for your pets. I’m available for house-sitting, dog-walking, potty breaks/play time on weekends, as well as Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. My first priority is to clarify and verify what pets and pet owners want and need while they are in my care. I do walkthroughs of the house and its surrounding area to make sure there are no safety concerns or unlatched areas where a pup could get out. If a pup requires crate training or any other form of dog proofing of the home I will verify it is done properly and gently to provide a safe space for your pet to thrive in.

“Jess is an excellent furry friend care taker! From the moment I met her, I knew she had a special connection with dogs. She’s very responsible and will work hard to ensure your dog is well taken care of and well loved. She’s also very athletic and would go the extra mile to make sure your dog gets the exercise it needs. She loves dogs of all shapes and sizes and would treat your dog as if it were your own! Cannot recommend her highly enough.”

Lisa T.
“Lisa is hands down the nicest person and most caring person I met. This translates not only to humans but to my two amazing dogs. After hanging with Lisa all day, my 7 year old pitbull and 1 year border collie mix want nothing to do with me. Lisa is extremely responsive and sends lots of pictures of my happy pups. She would take them on long walks and short hikes, catering to both of my dogs two very different needs. I’d highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable person for overnight stays or just a mid day walk/check in.”
