“Jessica was by far the best Rover individual we've had the opportunity for hiring. She was polite, kind, and respectful. She clearly enjoyed taking care of our pups, and handled our home as a perfect guest. We would hire her any time she'd be willing because it's clear Amelia, Storm and Boe all loved her time with them!”

“Barb communicated daily, sent me pictures of my cats, and asked any questions if she needed. She left the house clean and better than how we left it. Would recommend and will use her again!”

About: I've grew up with dogs and cats my entire life and I had so much fun with it! I was 10 years old when I began taking care of dogs, cats, ferrets and other small animals. I have done what I needed to give them a happy, long life. My sister gave me the responsibility of watching her dog while she was away and I couldn't be more happier! Her dog, Morgan, and I got along well, I made sure he was fed and watered and walked every night. I also have experience with care for chickens, snakes, rats, and my ferret, Marvel! I have so much time to devote to your dogs happiness and well-being! Caring for your beloved pets is my passion and I would love to do it anytime you need a helping hand. I'm attentive to dog behavior, aware of my surroundings, and I know how to handle most situations during dog walks. I used to work with my sister's dog, a Norwegian Elkhound mix, and he has improved in many ways.
“Elizabeth was wonderful! She stayed at our home for 6 nights, and replied to texts immediately and sent pictures of our 2 dogs and 2 cats everyday. The pets took to her right away. She has a calming demeanor and very polite. I highly recommend Elizabeth.”

“If you want a pet sitter who will treat your pets like their own, pick Mackenzie!! She is our go to pet sitter for our three dogs and two cats. She goes above and beyond every time and is so good with them all! I have dogs ranging from 7 pounds to 110 pounds and I would trust her with any of them any day! Thank you Mackenzie, my babies love you!”

About: My whole life I was never able to have pets up until two years ago which is when I got my first girl, Jojo. She changed my life completely and so I had to get her a sister. My love for them is unmatched and even though I don’t have training what I do have is unconditional love and plenty of free time. I recently resigned from my job so I do not have a work schedule to work around so I am able to give my pets as well as yours all the attention and care that they need. I do have a fenced yard so if they need to go outside for potty or play there is no risk of them running off. I also two dogs at home as previously mentioned but I do have a dog gate inside if your pet needs some alone time. I separate my dogs during meal times and sometimes just to give individual attention. Both my dogs are girls and they are sweet and very playful.

“Jessica was beyond wonderful with our dogs. She clearly is an animal lover and she treated ours like they were her own. Her communication was absolutely top notch with so many pictures and updates! I can’t recommend her enough!”

“This is who you want to care for your dogs! Fantastic experience leaving our dogs for the first time with someone not family. Zero issues. Home and dogs were well cared for and taken care of by someone who knows dogs and has experience.”

About: Loving and caring for my pets as well as those of others’ has been such a joy in my life and I offer that same love, care and attention to your best friends! Whether you need overnight stays or drop-in services, I’d love to meet your fur babies and keep them happy, healthy and safe until their best friends return. I’m currently retired and am very flexible time-wise. I’m available any day of the week, as overnight stays, or everyday of the week from 7-9ish. I currently have two golden retrievers and a fenced in yard but find that most dogs, and all cats, prefer their own surroundings so am willing and able to come to you home and take care of them.
“Zane was great! She was dependable and very responsive. It was the first time we left our dog with someone other than family. We will definitely be having Zane watch our dod in the future!!”

“Joslyn took great care of my dog & cat for several days while I was on vacation. She was responsive, caring & responsible. She even won over my reserved dog who has separation anxiety! I highly recommend her!”

About: I have grown up with family dogs and currently have 2 that live in my house. I am more than comfortable performing any sort of dog care! I work as an electrician during the day so I am available any time outside of 7am-3pm Monday through Friday. If the dog can make it through the work day, I am the perfect fit! I am happy to accommodate any sort of service for your dog. Just give me the details upon booking and I will ensure your animals are cared for!

About: I have cared for animals my entire life and have fostered puppies through adulthood as well as taken care of aging dogs with responsibility and care.

We have a fenced in yard with additional area to walk in a leash. At clients’ homes, I will carefully and respectfully follow directions on where you are most comfortable with me walking and with which equipment you feel works best for your pet.

I enjoyed walking, feeding, stimulating, and just being all around loved by my two best friends. And I am looking to explore the same opportunities with your beloved pet. I promise to give the upmost care and attention that your pet deserves. Pick me as your personal rover walker or sitter, and let the worries go.

I can provide loving and affection for your dog and care for it like it was my own. I hope to hear from you soon Taking care of a pet just becomes part of my everyday flow. You feed them, take them out or clean up after them, and make time to play or cuddle a bit. Most days involve quick things like feeding and walks, while once a week you might do a deeper clean or grooming. It’s not too hard once you get into a rhythm—it just becomes routine. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or a client’s. That includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, and making time for walks, play, or snuggles—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible to keep things familiar. If I’m in a client’s home, I also make sure everything stays clean and tidy, and I always send updates so they know their pet is doing great. I also have a fenced in yard.
