“Heather is amazing! Right away my mind was at ease with having her stay with our pup. Our dog was relaxed and happy upon us returning and I know she was well taken care of and enjoyed her time with Heather. Will 100% be booking in the future 😊”

“Alexis treated my animals as if they were her own. She is trustworthy and has great communication skills. I’ll be contacting her again when I need an overnight stay!”


4. Shelby K.

“Shelby was great with our 3 Shepherds. Our oldest is blind, and has a few other health challenges, and I never worried for 1 minute. She was awesome at keeping us updated on all 3. Our littlest is 4 months old, And then a 2 year old. She had he hands full, and did fabulous! Thank you Shelby for everything you did. We appreciate it.”


5. Erica M.
“I highly reccomend Erica for your pet sitting needs. She was reliable and very attentive to our 2 Goldens. One of them is a puppy and I was nervous about leaving because he can get into things easily as puppies can do. My fears were relieved with Erica as she not only watched him closely but played with him to tire him out to make him less likely to get into things. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing our 2 fur babies we well cared for.”


6. Emily G.


“Emily and her little chihuahua stayed at our home for a week taking care of our dachshund and cat. She did a wonderful job with the animals and also took really good care of the house. I could hardly tell that she was here when we got back. We will definitely use her again!”


7. Savannah W.

“Savannah did great with our two dogs and six consecutive overnights. She arrived on time and there were no issues. We will definitely be using Savannah again!”


8. Kimberly V.

“Our Micki took to Kimberly right away. Our dog can always recognize a fellow dog lover. We received many photos and videos while we were away, which made us feel really good. When we got home, Micki was happy and tired from having so much fun. Thank you Kimberly for treating our dog like the queen she is.”


9. Ella V.

“I’ve known Ella a long time, and she has always been a huge animal lover. She can charm even the most anxious and nervous dogs!! She’s super reliable and willing to go above and beyond. Would definitely recommend hiring her to care for your fur babies!”


10. Chloee R.

“We just had our first experience with Chloee. We are very pleased. She is very responsive and easy going. She arrived on time and kept us up to date while we were away. We came home to happy dogs and that’s all we could hope for. We will use her again for sure.”


11. Jack W.
“Jack is a dedicated man, a person can count on, he takes all commitments seriously. Jack is known as a patient teacher. He watches and listens attentively to his student, human and animal friends to find out their comfort level to gain his trust. But all in all he is kind and very caring person admired and loved.”

13. Christina D.
About: Christina is a lover and protector of all animals. Any animal she meets, she loves like her own! Growing up, she had German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Pit bulls, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Horses, Cats, Birds, Fish, and Goats. From pet sitting, long or short walks, and of course taking care of her own ShiPoo Buddy Boo, she has experience with it all! She has also administered medication to cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. Her passion is pets and will love yours too! I have an open availability with a flexible schedule. I work part time from home so I'm always available for the pets that I care for. I prefer to watch pets in their own environment since they would be more comfortable there. My dedication is to your pet, their safety and health.


14. Meredith M.
“Meredith was an amazing sitter for my 3 cats. She was always so friendly and very reliable. I occasionally needed her to feed, water, clean the liter box and medicate my oldest cat while I was away for short trips. She even gave my cats extra love and attention and cared for them like they were her own. I highly recommend Meredith!”

I have a large backyard and long leashes for your pup to walk around and enjoy nature and go potty. I have extra walking leashes as well.

“Bridget did great!”


17. Aby B.

“This was my first time using Rover and I have to admit I was nervous. Abby was fantastic! She took the time to come over and meet us and our pups before our scheduled trip. Abby kept in touch to let me know how our boys were doing. I could see by the end of the first day they felt safe with her. We came home and our pups were happy and obviously we'll cared for. Our house was just as we left it. I am so happy to have someone that we can trust with our fur babies. Abby's love of animals is obvious and natural. I would recommend her to anyone that asked. Thank you Abby 🥰🥰🥰🥰”


18. Kamryn G.
“Kamryn has watched our pets at least twice for us within the past year. She stayed at our house for the time we were gone. She was very reliable, followed our instructions, and took good care of our pets and the house, which is a challenge with our pack! Lol.”


19. Jordan B.
“Jordan has been watching out dogs for years. He's always been great at being on time, showing our dogs the care they need, and responsible to take care of our home at the same time. Highly recommend.”


20. Jessica L.
About: I've had both big dogs and cats in my life. I love meeting the animal at whatever level they're at. Comfort (whether playful, peaceful, or both) is most important. I'm an avid runner, so long walks and energetic playtimes are fun for me. I love to be outside, especially with pets. For playful pups, I love playing fetch or tug of war! I have a cat currently who is leash trained and loves to hike. I have 2 years experience fostering senior dogs and 1 with a senior cat, so I'm aware of their unique challenges. I am a graduate student, so my schedule is rather flexible. I should be able to fit most demands, especially throughout working hours. I'm available for long term care as well. I have a large home, no fence, but plenty of space to walk around in. Inside, there is plenty of space for playtimes, nap times, etc. At your house, I will follow whatever directions you think best.
