“Christine was awesome. I felt confident that my baby girl was being taken care of. She provided pics everytime she was there and went above and beyond. I definitely recommend and will be a regular customer!!”


“She was so wonderful watching our cat, Cheddar and letting us know if packages arrived. She made sure our house was secure and that Cheddar was well loved while we were gone!”


“Allyson took really great care of my cat while I was away and she was able to support with super short notice which was greatly appreciated. Thanks so much, I’ll definitely book again when I travel!”


“Had a very good experience with Andrea. She met with me on a very short notice during a holiday and took care of my cats while I was away for an emergency. Timely and good updates throughout.”


“I don't think I would ever find a more caring person to take care of my pets while I am away from home She is truly concerned about their comfort and every need She does as she is asked and goes beyond what is needed I will always use her if she is available when I need any further care of my furry babies And they seem to be comfortable with her coming to see them”

“Katelynn has checked in on my cats for many of my trips and she always does a great job. She is very reliable and is able to give my senior cat his oral medications twice a day, which is a big help! Thanks again Katelynn for giving me peace of mind while on my trip.”


“Bethany was great to communicate with during our time away. She kept us updated on Luna with pictures. Luna seemed incredibly well taken care of and healthy on return. Would definitely recommend anyone to book Bethany.”


“Charlize was SO awesome! She took care of our 16 year old dog, who has separation anxiety. Snorkie was safe and in good hands with Charlize. We highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”


“Jeanne was wonderful. She really got on well with Barkley and listened to our requests with regards to handling him. We will definitely call her in the future.”


“Kendall was awesome with all three of my fur babies. I have historically boarded them at a kennel, but it was becoming more and more stressful on them to the point they wouldn't eat for several days after I picked them up. I decided to try Rover based on a recommendation from a friend, and I chose Kendall based on her reviews and experience. She was awesome! She made sure my epileptic dog had his meds twice a day and spent lots of time snuggling and loving on all of them. I will definitely be hiring her again!”


About: My love from dogs & cats made me decide to buy a mobile pet grooming business!!! Now I get to talk about dogs and cats EVERY day! I am home most of the time talking to my groom customers and booking their appointments. I figured why not have additional dogs with me to keep me company and have fun!!! I have a fenced yard with one very friendly hound dog that loves to play. We take walks across the street during the day to 'stretch our legs'!


“Cyndi was wonderful to our pups! I’ve never seen my more aggressive of the two so at ease with another human. She was on time and had great communication! Will definitely use her again!”


“I was very pleased with the job Dawn did. This was my first time going away in a few years and I also just lost one of my dogs a few weeks ago making harder to leave them. I appreciated the notes and pictures. I have a blind dog and I felt like he was in good hands. I would definitely use Dawn again.”


About: Hello! My name is Kaitlyn, and I have owned/fostered animals for 5+ years, including senior animals, kittens, and disabled cats. I have experience with nail clipping, shaving (for matted fur), as well as medication administration. I plan to one day own my own non-profit in support of local animals in need. :) I currently have a full-time remote job, M-F 8am-5pm, so as long as it works around my work schedule and isn't too far from my location, I can assist when needed. I provide a safe and calming space by first observing the pet's behavior (if they're excited, I will play with them - if they're low-energy, I relax with them), then ensure that the pet has everything they need and is happy with their space.


About: Taking care of animals isn't a chore to me, it's a passion. I really do see the uniqueness in each dog or cat. Growing up I would pet sit for elderly and sick foster dogs with many special needs, it really impressed upon me the need these animals have for care and connection. Im separated from my own fur baby as he lives in Oregon with my parents, but he is special needs. Three times a day he needs eye drops administered to him and before I moved away I was the main administrator of his medications. Im happy to play with your dogs and their favorite toys if you'd like, and glad to spend extra time giving them snuggles and love. I really do love dogs and I can't wait to meet yours. I promise I'll care of your animals as if they were my own. I have class part time so I'll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet. Im usually available at 2:00 pm to start care during weekdays but my schedule is flexible, especially during the summer time. Overnights and mornings as needed. Whether I’m caring for my pets in my home or your pets in yours, I treat each animal with the same attention and love I’d give my own. I follow their routine closely—feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications—while keeping a watchful eye on their behavior and wellbeing. Under my supervision, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and comforting space with plenty of affection and engagement. I’m committed to providing consistent, reliable, and thoughtful care so every pet feels secure, happy, and well-cared for.

About: I’ve been taking care of my dog since I was 10. Although my dog has gone, my friends have relied on me to walk and feed their dog when they were on vacation. I’m currently working as a freelancer remotely, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I’m available for boarding on weekdays or weekend after 10am. I have a fenced backyard, two friendly cats to keep your fur baby company, and 24-hour air-conditioning at home. To ensure your dog or cats stay in a cool and relax environment.

“Megan was amazing with our pup. We had her stop by our home a few times a day to check on our 8 week old puppy. She was attentive, caring, and went about and behind to make sure our baby was well taken care of. She fed, played with and even bathed him when he had an accident in his crate. We could not be happier with the level of care she provided to Ares. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Megan!”


“Maggie was lovely, my dogs got sick right before I left and she took care of them , gave them the medication and was always on time. I am really grateful for her care and attention to all my instructions.”

Ursula C.
“Ursula petsat my dog for 2 weeks earlier this summer! The dog in question, Juniper, is very high maintenance but Ursula managed her care well. Ursula was able to follow instructions and make her food weekly, feed her twice a day, give her probiotics on schedule, and walk her early morning and afternoon. Ursula also kept up with her grooming needs and even brushed her teeth! Cannot recommend more!”
