“Destiny was great with our two kitties! She did several drop ins while we were out of town and she cleaned litter and food well, as well as our kittie water fountain. She even picked up some stuff the kitties had knocked over and let us know where she put it. Additionally, she tried to befriend our shy kittie, and even though he didn't want to come out it was nice that she kept checking on him!”
“Leah was fantastic! This was my first experience using Rover and it was such a great one! Leah was so caring for our animals (2 dogs and 3 cats). While we were away there were lots of storms which our dogs don’t like. Leah went the extra mile to stay with them and make them feel comfortable. She played with them and gave them lots of love. I could tell they were besties even before the end of the week! I will definitely use Leah again and would recommend her to anyone! She was the best!”
About: I love animals and have owned pets all my life, have cared for other people's pets, rescued birds, and even helped to raise a lizard. I have a sweet 120lb. dog, two spoiled cats, and an adorable bunny. Two of my pets were adopted from shelters. I am familiar with: house-training puppies, training dogs for obedience, fostering cats and cat behaviors, and caring for small animals. I will enjoy caring for your pets, making them feel safe and loved when you are away. Depending on your pet's needs, we can go on a relaxed or brisk walk, play indoors, play fetch in your backyard, work on basic obedience skills, or maybe learn a new trick. I currently work part time, have a flexible schedule, and can assist with caring for your beloved pets multiple times per day and multiple times per week. I can be available for longer visits if you are going on vacation or going away for the weekend. The safety of your beloved pet will be of greatest importance. With my experience caring for animals and protocols established by you, I will ensure your pet's wellbeing and comfort whether inside your home, in the yard, or on a walk in the neighborhood.
“Julia was great and very patient when we had some connection issues and weren’t as quick to get back to her to open the garage and our dog acted like an escape artist and hid in the house. Lilya was happy to see her and she treated her with care.”
“Pamela is amazing with dogs. Caring, compassionate, loving and provides excellent care. You really can’t ask for a better care giver for furry family! Would recommend hands down and plan to rehire.”

About: With 30 years of dog care experience, I’ve been a proud dog owner and caregiver, training and caring for a variety of pups — from Labs and Boxers to two wonderful Staffies.

For younger, more energetic dogs, I can offer intense exercise. The more they get, the more I get—it's a win-win!

About: I have been the primary taker of my Golden Doodle, Luna, for all 7 years of her life. This care included two walks each day, providing her with food and water, playing with her, and crate training her when she was younger. During my summers in high school, I would occasionally help out a neighbor by watching, feeding, and brushing their cats while they were on vacation. Now, I hope to expand my horizons to interact with beloved pets of all shapes and sizes. My love for animals is so profound that I plan on becoming a wildlife biologist in the future to dedicate my life to animal conservation. I don't currently have a job, and I am looking for something meaningful and enjoyable to do over the summer. As such, I have plenty of availability to devote to your furry friends. Due to the services I am providing, I will treat your space with utmost respect. I also understand that each pet is unique and has different requirements to promote their comfort and well-being.

taje l.
“Taje was the best pet caretaker I have ever had! She was great with the dogs, always keeping them busy when they wanted to play or kept them comfy when they were ready to be lazy for the day. She left our house squeaky clean just how we liked. Our dogs loved her! I would highly recommend her if you want the best pet sitter in town!”
Erron M.
“I cannot recommend Erron highly enough! He has been taking care of my two mini Goldendoodles—Nala (8 months old) and Luna (7 years old) for over three years now, and he has consistently gone above and beyond to make sure my dogs are happy, safe, and well-cared for. He’s helped us out for both walks and drop-ins while we are on vacation. What really sets Erron apart is how dependable and responsible he is. I never have to worry when my pups are in his care—he communicates clearly, shows up on time, and always keeps me updated. Nala can be a handful with all her puppy energy, and Luna has her own set of senior dog needs, but he handles them both with patience and ease. I trust him completely with my dogs. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, look no further. Erron is awesome!”
Alayna L.
“Alayna often takes care of my two dogs, Coco and Mayzee. They are a Shih-Tzu and a Yorkie. She takes excellent care of both of them, and they’re always so happy when being dropped off at her house! She takes them on walks and plays with them, but also gives them plenty of love and care.”
Barbara B.
“As Barbara’s mom, I can confidently say she has a lifetime of experience caring for dogs and other pets. Growing up, we had both a golden retriever and a soft-coated wheaten terrier, and Barbara was deeply involved in their care from a young age. She consistently fed them, took them on daily walks, played with them, and made sure they felt loved and well-cared for—especially on weekends when we were away or busy. Barbara has also extended her love of animals beyond our home. She frequently house-sat for our neighbors, caring for their dogs and cats while they were on vacation. She always went above and beyond to make sure their pets were not only safe and well-fed but also happy and comforted in their owners’ absence. I remember how she'd spend extra time playing with the dogs or just keeping them company because she genuinely cared about their well-being. Barbara has always been incredibly responsible, patient, and loving with animals. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Barbara is absolutely the right choice.”
