“Jacek kept my dog and cats safe while I was out of town for a week. My dog was so happy and tired when I got back, he slept for a long while. Jacek took lots of good pictures of his adventures with my dog and cats so I felt comfortable with everything he did. Thank you!”


6. Risa H.

“Risa was amazing! She took excellent care of my fur babies, above and beyond! Will definitely use her again in the future and would highly recommend.”


7. Hannah K.

“There aren’t enough stars to give Hannah. She cared for my house, 4 dogs and a cat for 10 days while my wife and I were in Scotland. When one of my dogs was injured in our absence, she took her to the vet. She administered medicine to the injured hound and the elder dog of 17 years old. I threw a lot of work at Hannah but she did an amazing job. She never complained once. A real trooper! Such peace of mind to have Hannah watch over all that is precious to us. So trustworthy, competent and reliable. What a marvelous young woman. Anyone hiring Hannah will be thrilled.”

About: I haven't used Rover in a while due to school and travel, but I'm excited to be back on here to help watch and care for your fur babies! I absolutely love being around dogs of all shapes and sizes, and though I haven't been on here for a bit, I have watched and helped out with roomates and friends dogs. I grew up helping to take care of both my family dogs, abs am a proud dog mom to a 6yr old lab mix- Beylix (bay licks). He's loveable, sweet, and playful, and loves to play with both people and dogs alike. Fetch, tug 'o' war, walks, hikes and more your pup is bound to have a good time. Beylix and I cant wait to get to know you and your fur children!! During the week I can get busy with work, but still have time for at least AM and PM walks. My less busy days will get more playtime and on the weekends we are ready for adventures! I care for your pets as if they were my own. Love, attention, cuddles (if they're cuddlers). I enjoy being around dogs and care strongly for their safety and well-being.

“Hayden was amazing.”


12. Eric D.

“Eric took good care of my two dogs. They bark a lot which puts people off and are really protective. Eric was punctual, wasn’t intimidated. He took them for walks. I’m so glad I found someone reliable. Kathleen”




13. Amber V.

“Amber was wonderful with our three dogs! Kept us updated and provided photos. Really appreciated her communication and care.”


14. Samantha H.
About: I can help with senior pets that have trouble walking and seeing as well as feeding puppies and kittens. I enjoy taking care of any animals. Pet care can be a full time care plan for me. I am free to take care of your pets all week and over night. I have a medium sized fenced yard as well as a dog pen. There are 3 kids in the household as well as 2 family puppies and 1 adult dog.


15. Erica M.
About: I have had dogs of my own since birth and have 4 now that I’m an adult. I love my fur babies and would love to help with yours! I have a special needs dog and can handle meds and special care needs. I am comfortable with puppies and older dogs too! I work remotely and can work from your home while taking care of your fur babies like they are my own. I can focus on your dog/ dogs all day and give them the love and attention they deserve! I’d rather come to your home so I can keep your dogs in their normal routine. Having dogs of my own, I know some get nervous outside of their environment and I want them to be happy.


16. Aubrey C.
About: I have experience with any type of animal you can imagine from farm animals to lizards and everything in between. I have a Doolittle affect on most animals and love being active with them. I am currently working part time and have a flexible schedule in order to prioritize your pets. I am an active person and love to include clients pets in my outdoor fun. I adhere strictly to the owners routine and pet care practices. Making sure pets are comfortable while clients are away is paramount in my care practice.


17. Hayden K.
“I’ve got two dogs, a cat, six horses, and a handful of cattle that will recommend Hayden’s services. He did a fantastic job watching over my ranch while I was away on business, came back to find every water tank clean, feeders full and stalls managed (had to throw an extra bone to get the stalls mucked, but a job well done nonetheless ;) Long story short - if you’re leaving for a bit and need some animal care, hire this young man.”

About: I'm Andie, and my dogs are Miley, Zoey, and KO. We love meeting new dogs, and having them over for "slobber parties". We recently added a new kitten addition, moth. We have a designated sleep area for the dogs to sleep all together, separately, or with us. We have areas inside for the dogs to play, or they can play outside in our fenced in yard where they can play together, or they can play separately. We are also able to relocate our animals so our attention is fully dedicated to your fur babies. We love to take the dogs on drives, walks, and to parks. Our animals are such important members of the family, and deserve to feel ever more special when away from family. My prices reflect my experience. I teach my dogs, and visitors new tricks with fresh food I buy daily for my dogs. I understand that your babies may not be used to being away from you, so I prioritize your babies, and make sure they get so much love and attention that they forget about being away from you. I've cared for senior dogs, administered medicine, and provided basic dog training skills to puppies for over 7 years. I am comfortable watching dogs for a long duration, or just for a few hours. I adore animals, and I will continue to devote my time to them, and to you. My schedule is very fluid and free. I work from home, and that allows me to board several dogs at a time, since my home, backyard and schedule allow it. I go on walks with my dogs daily and love to play with them in the backyard, or the nearby parks. We also have a large living space and love playing with them inside. I have a large yard, and tall fence that is locked at both entrances. I have 1 small male fixed chiweenie, KO, who is 7 and very lovable and playful. I also have a 5 year old aussie, Zoey, that is fixed. She is just as lovable, big, but knows it, and is as energized as a dog can be. She has learned to be mellow around most dogs since they are usually always smaller. I have a puppy, Miley who is a shih-chi. She is the most playful of the three. None of them have ever bit humans, let alone other animals. All are quiet and rarely bark. We often go to dog parks, and their playfulness towards the other dogs makes it difficult for us to leave when it's time. They love to play. I also have a safe space in my yard for when I watch senior dogs so my dogs can take a break and play separately from our visitors so they have space and can roam freely.
