“Sonja was great in every way with our 4 month old puppy! She was extremely attentive and very detail oriented. She also communicated very well and sent daily updates and photos. We hope to have her back to pet sit again soon!”


“Another amazing trip away with Tara to the rescue! She is professional, communicative and amazing with our Texaco! I have such a sense of peace knowing she will be caring for our sweet boy in his own environment! Trust is big for us and she has ours completely! She is a gem and we are so thankful for her! We will use her exclusively!”



“Paul took great care of our two puppies while we were on vacation! He sent multiple updates daily with pictures, and they were extremely well cared for. We never had to worry about them, and we were able to enjoy our vacation! I would leave my pets with Paul anytime!!”


“Cheryl did a wonderful job with our 4 animals (2 dogs,2 cats) while we were out of state for several days. Cheryl always has great communication, responds promptly and is always willing to do what she can to help. We plan to continue having Cheryl care for our pack whenever we travel.”


“Jeanee is amazing! She took the best care of our pets, provided frequent updates, and was honestly a joy to communicate with! She will most definitely be my first choice for future pet sitting needs.”


“Shannon did a phenomenal job watching our two dogs. She was thoughtful and kept us updated multiple times a day. She gave the dogs a lot of attention, walks, and treats throughout her stay. We had her for an overnight stay for multiple days and she was kind enough to bring in our mail, bring in packages left outdoors, and left our house just as we left it. I think our dogs were sad to see us when we returned!”

“Tegra was amazing with our quirky doggo. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Tegra provided updates and loved on our pup while we were away for almost two weeks. Upon returning home, we could tell puppers was anxiety free and our home was in excellent order. 1000% would use Tegra again.”


“Meagan was on time, thorough, and communicative! Happily would have her watch our pups overnight again!”


“Sabrina did a great job of keeping our friend company. Our boy is not needy, but gets very sad alone and Sabrina really did a great job being his friend while we were out of town.”



“Faith was absolutely wonderful with our Bruno!! This was a longer vacation for us from the other times we’ve had Faith watch Bruno. Everything went extremely well and we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation without any worries about how Bruno was doing. Faith kept us informed with photos and texts every day about how Bruno was doing. He truly bonded with Faith. Bruno is a Shiba Inu and that says a lot about how well Faith interacts with dogs as this breed is generally very aloof. The house was spotless and clean when we came home. I would highly recommend Faith to watch your pets. I can’t say that enough. We will continue to have her watch Bruno and use her services for both overnight stays and walks when we may be gone for a long day. Excellent excellent job!! Thank you Faith!!”


“We loved having Jaclyn stay and care for our fur baby! We loved that she sent so many pictures! It made us feel at ease and we loved checking in on our pup each night. Jaclyn really made us feel at ease that Ellie was being so well taken care of. Our girl is a rescue and although she loves being near humans she doesn’t always warm up to people, but she was smiling, asking for pets and belly rubs and knew she was happy with Jaclyn! Definitely would book with her again!”


“Maggie did a great job with our Italian Greyhound, Moe. She sent updates while we were away and we felt totally comfortable leaving Moe in her care!”


About: I’ve grew up with dogs that had big personalities and have taken care of them since I was young. I’ve seen it all—from detailed food and medication schedules to super high energy play time! I’m a work from home photographer and part time nanny, so my weekdays and weekends are flexible for some good walking. I love getting outside and going for walks, and doing it with a buddy is even better! I’m used to frequent stops with my own pup, so whatever yours needs, I’ll be ready for it. I will watch your pup closely to make sure that nothing gets out of hand in your household. I can crate a pup if need be!

About: Taken care of high energy dogs for 10 years. Great with big dogs and ones with high energy. Also great at walking larger dogs and dogs with high exercise requirements Currently open at all hours and all days of the week due to waiting for other job offers. I am able to come any time any day. I will follow the advice given by the pet parents to a T and I will make sure to take care of there fluffy family members like a member of my own family.

“Megan is the best! She is very dependable . She comes to our home to watch our senior dog. We are very happy we found her on Rover. Highly recommend and will continue to reach out to her to watch our dog.”


About: Hi! I’ve had dogs by my side my entire life and caring for animals is truly second nature to me. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, worked hands-on with pets of all sizes, and recently had the joy of caring for dogs and cats at an assisted living facility, where I provided gentle and attentive care to both pets and their people. Whether it’s a playful walk, a calm overnight stay, or simply keeping your pet safe and happy while you're away, I offer reliable, loving care you can count on. I’m currently taking online classes, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and boarding throughout the day and week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Last-minute bookings are welcome! As an Army veteran and the partner of a police officer, safety and responsibility are at the core of everything I do. You can trust that your pet will be cared for in a calm, secure, and loving environment.

“Heather was so sweet and understood our animals are our family. She sent pictures throughout her stay which really put my mind at ease. We will book Heather again for the future!!”


About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life! First a Bichon Frise, then a German Shorthaired Pointer puppy who was like my little brother. After he passed away, my parents adopted another German Shorthaired Pointer puppy who I helped care for/train at visits. I also grew up around friends/family cats and dogs whom ranged from small to medium of different breeds. My boyfriend and I have 3 cats, 2 of them I raised since they were kittens. I love fuzzy animals in general (4 legged)! I get off work at 16:00 (4:00pm) Monday through Friday. I am available to walk/check in on your pet(s) after 16:00 (4:00pm) on week days and anytime on the weekends. I am also available for weekend house sittings. As long as they let me, any fur baby I come across will be spoiled with love and cuddles. At home I brush my cats regularly along with cleaning their ears and eye boogies. I vacuum/fur remove the furniture, cat trees (3) and I carpet clean the litter matts. I am naturally an organizational clean freak with 4 1/2 years of hospital housekeeping experience.

About: I’ve grown up with big dogs my entire life. I’m not afraid of any dog and am willing to accommodate to any of their needs since both of my dogs currently require individual care for their medical needs! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pups!! Weekends I am also pretty free since I’m not in school currently and off for the summer! I have 2 dogs myself and I get up with them in the mornings, let them out, feed them, and play with them every morning. I usually then in the afternoon take them out again for an afternoon potty break and play with them outside again. Finally, around 5, I will feed both of them and take them on a nightly walk. I also love to cuddle with my dogs at home and give them lots of treats!!

“Thank you so much for watching Bowey! We truly appreciate you taking such good care of him! Also it was super helpful when our trip got extended and you were able to watch him a few extra days! We will definitely be in touch for future stays!”
