“Heather was PHENOMENAL. This was our first time on Rover after a few bad boarding experiences and heather made us feel completely comfortable and confident that our pups were being cared for while we were away for the holidays. She was very responsive, timely with her visits, provided detailed notes and plenty of pictures with each stay! Even with our sweet doodle that can be (was) stubborn to take her morning meds, Heather was persistent and kind trying every way to attempt getting meds down without stressing her out. We are so thankful for Heather & her willingness to take care of our girls especially during the holidays! We came home to two happy and cared for dogs!”
“Sarah is so professional, experienced and dependable. I had a complete confidence in her and had a sense of calm leaving my dogs in her care. She is amazing! I recommend her to anyone needing an amazing dog sitter!”
“Rebecca came right on time for each visit. She took great care of our two girls and we didn't worry about them for a second! The pictures she sent us were greatly appreciated.”
“Savanah was very accomodating with my last minute request. My dogs loved her and were looking for her after she left each time. She sent the cutest pics that really showed she spent time with each dog and loved on them. I will definitely book again.”

About: We've always had fur babies until now. We had to let our last pet cross the rainbow bridge at 17 yrs old. We rescued him when he was 5. Such a sweet boy!! We've also had German Shepherds, a Beagle, Rabbits, and Guinea pigs. Experience with Puppies and Senior dogs. FYI--I tend to be a bit over protective. I was able to retire early, so I'm home ALOT! Home is my happy place. My husband of 31 yrs still works a few days a week but is also home often and loves animals. We have a fenced in backyard with grass areas, and a pool. I'm very protective and would take your baby out front on leash, and out back on leash or under strict supervision, whichever you dictate. We have a large front yard and side yard and live on a quiet dead end street which is perfect for walks. We also have a fairly large home where small dogs can get plenty of indoor exercise. Home is my happy place! I retired early so I'm home most of the time. My husband of 31 yrs still works a few days a week but is home other than that. He loves animals too! I have a fenced in back yard and a large front & side yard. I'm over protective and will keep your pet on leash outside and well supervised.
“Angie has been doing drop visits for a few weeks now and I couldn't be happier.... she is always on time, and spends some time with the pups... she has also been very accommodating to changes in the schedule... highly recommend”
About: Hi! I’m so glad you’re here. I grew up on a farm, so animals have always been a big part of my life—from cows and chickens to lizards and dogs. I’d love to help care for your dog too. I have a big backyard, quiet sidewalks for long walks, and if your pup’s into adventure, I’ve got an SUV and a soft spot for hiking trails. Just let me know if they’d enjoy tagging along! Whether your dog is energetic, laid-back, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well-loved while we hang out. I am available 7 days per week between 9am-3pm. I can do overnights depending on the pet as I have animals at home. If your pet is dog or cat aggressive I can come to your home. I have a large unfenced backyard and quiet sidewalks for daily exercise. I can also bathe them while I have them. We will play fetch and take naps in the sun! I try to keep communication open with quick responses but I will try not to bother you unless it’s important unless otherwise requested. I will send photo updates if wanted.
“Annabell, did great! Our dogs were happy when we got back from our trip! Great updates with photos! She did everything as directed and was up for the challenge of our hyper dogs!!”
“Amanda responded very quickly to my request and has been nothing but nice and professional! She took lots of pictures of my baby when watching her and kept me updated every day. We will definitely be using her the next time we need someone to watch our cat!”
About: All my life I have had animals around me of several sizes, including birds and reptiles. I am always happy and excited to meet a new pet! My dad regularly uses me to house sit for him and his two dogs every months or so and I befriend just about every animal I meet! Me and my girlfriend take care of our cat Smokie together. I currently work part-time as a forklift operator and supplement my other time with Doordash or Rover. I make sure if I'm scheduled for a task, I make the time to be free! My wonderful girlfriend and I have two cats. These animals have very different personalities and are very active with their language. We make sure their water fountain is always running, they have wet food consistent each night and make sure to not over feed them. They are loved tremendously we make sure all their needs are met. Including their outside time! My dad has me house sit for him and his two dogs and one cat. Both dogs are rather large and the cat is mostly outside. I can give dogs and cats oral medication but I am a little out of practice since the last pet I had who needed those meds passed away a couple years ago.
