“Jolie has been super helpful. She loves animals and cares about them. She also respects and meets pet owners' needs. I couldn’t be happier with booking her. She is taking care of my babies, and I will definitely work with her again in the future.”
“Ashley is amazing. We’ve been having her visit with our cat Todd for over a year. He is becoming more high maintenance as he ages and now she’s been on puke duty and hasn’t questioned things one bit. She is easy to talk to and always keeps us in the loop. I highly recommend booking with her for any of your pet sitting needs.”
“Emma was such a great sitter. She cleaned up after Ollie’s mess and his messes, played with him, and gave detailed updates with photos. She truly cares about animals and made the whole process including key handoff easy. Highly recommended”
“Justin stopped in to feed our cats a couple times over a weekend. when we returned, the cats seemed completely un-phased by our absence, which is always great! We will definitely reach out to Justin again.”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager I had my childhood dog for 17 years, so I understand all the needs an older dog might have. I currently have a 5 year old Bichon/Llasa Apso mix who loves other dogs. Any dog coming into my care will always be treated like my own and given the love they deserve. I currently work from home and am a single mom, so day time care is pretty easy to fit into my day. My best days for availability are Wednesday and Thursday. I will also have a smattering of availability on the weekends I have a big fenced in yard and a 5 year old dog named Gus, who will love spending time with your dogs. There are lots of great walking paths around my neighborhood to keep your pet happy and acurve. All pets are allowed on the furniture or in bed at night but I do have crates if that is preferred.
About: I've always loved animals. I've helped to walk my families dogs since I was a kid and have always loved hanging out with furry friends. I currently work a full time job but have the weekends free to spend lots of time with your pet. I also have plenty of time on weeknights to still give your baby some love. Keeping your pet feeling comfortable and safe in their home with a new person is extremely important. I seek to provide a stable, as close to normal routine for your pet while you're away.
About: (WILL BE LEAVING ROVER AFTER AUGUST FOR CAREER PURPOSES) I've been a pet parent for as long as I can remember! I grew up around various dog breeds and other exotic pets so I'm well versed in pet personalities! I've worked in 3 doggy daycares over the past 5 years and have loved every second of it ! I'm able to administrator medication as well to senior or special care pets ! Currently working a few side gigs so my schedule is super flexible! I'm an early bird and can be there as needed but tend not to be around too late at night. I'd love to have your furry friend as part of my daily routine ! I'm used to different sized dogs so wrangling them into crates or rooms as needed is no problem ! I take extra care to keep your home clean and loved to make your time away stress free for you and your pet! (As a policy of my own, I don't tend to stay overnight in client homes unless discussed)
About: I’ve always been passionate about animal welfare and care. There has never been a time I have not owned animals and currently has 4 cats and 1 dog. My experience stretches further as I have experience with anywhere from small animals such as chinchillas and guinea pigs to horses and previously working as a vet managing 90 baby deer. I share a lot of love and attention with my animals and would be happy to share that time and dedication with yours! I have a full time career in Human Resources for a large local employer where I work remote which has allowed me to have so many of my own fur babies! I am pretty flexible and wouldn’t accept a job where I couldn’t meet your animals needs. I have four cats that are well adjusted to dogs (including my neighbors 90 lb golden retriever) and a very social dog that my husband takes to the dog park 4 days a week. I also don’t mind staying at other persons homes as I have before with our neighbors and friends. You can expect that I will always treat your home and privacy with the utmost respect—just as I would want someone to do in my own home. If you have specific rules or instructions, you can count on me to follow them carefully and consistently.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 10 years old. I’ve had family and friends rely on me to care for their animals. My current work schedule is more flexible, so I would have a wider range of availabilities for pet care activities and daily walks, or drop-ins. Safety would always be a top priority. Whether it’s in my home, or your home, your pet is my focus and their joy is guaranteed.
“Hillary has been a lifesaver for us when we needed a pet sitter! She was willing to come do drop-in visits for our cats, one being diabetic, for a couple of holiday trips. She was very friendly and communicative, and was willing to work with our shy kitties. Thank you so much for your help, Hillary!”
About: Our first pup was a Golden doodle, Josie, who loved life until 12 years old in 2020. We took a year break and then choose our next love our Aussie doodle, Nova who is now 4 yrs old & is full of energy, loves cuddles, kids and other dogs and their toys 😊. I have been through the puppy stages to the end stages and new puppy stages again. I grew up on a dairy farm so dogs, cats, chickens, & lots of cows were the first animals I ever cared for. Once married and moved to the "city" it is when I first had to train an indoor dog for the first time. Our Golden doodle Josie was a gem & we love Nova just as much! I have an at home business so I'm flexible with my schedule. Walks, chilling in the sun on the patio, tossing the ball in the back yard are some our family favorite activities. Safety and respect for others is my highest priority. I am reliable and your pups will get the love, cuddles, belly rubs & active time they need.
About: I have owned all sorts of dogs, big and small, so I know the specific needs for nearly every breed. I am an energetic person so I love to walk/run with dogs, but I also enjoy cuddling up and just giving them loving! At this time, there are no animals of my own in the house. I really hope to find clients that would like recurring stays/visits so I can make more furry friends and figure out the best care for that specific dog. Also, I'm an avid runner, so high energy dogs are very welcome! I work at the hospital nearly every day, but I am able to give your pet my full attention during the weekends. Dogs that are routinely left home during the weekday are welcome during the week, as I am not able to come home and let them out during the day. I am typically gone for about 10 hours a day. We live on a 10 acre farm with tons of room to run and explore (on leash)! We have outdoor farm animals but they tend to mind their own business and don’t bother visitors! Your pet will be treated like my own while in my care, plus some extra treats! ;)
About: I have 2 dogs of my own. Also I have experience with older dogs and puppies. I love all animals! I'm not scared of much either! I currently work part time. So I'm pretty open. I'm available after 10:30am on Wednesday Saturday and Tuesday Thursday and Friday after 4:30. I'm available all day on Sunday and Monday I care for my pets by taking them to the dog park twice a week making sure they have food and water. Also making sure they are utd on their shots. For taking care of your pet tho that would go off of how you would want me to take care of your animals. You are the owner. I'm just there to help you out and take care of your animals.

Nathan B.
“I have known Nathan for a very long time and I can tell you from first hand experience that he is wonderful with pets of all kinds. Pets are drawn to him because they know he loves them. He has had two German Shephard dogs and they both were loved and cared for their entire lives. He is capable of walking long distances and can easily manage a dog that may not be the best leash walker. His confidence around pets makes them feel at ease and everyone benefits from that environment. If you get a chance to make Nathan a part of your pet's life you will be making a really good decision for you and your pet.”

Maggie E.Star Sitter
“If you're looking for someone to responsibly and passionately take care of your pup, or full-grown senior four-legged friend, Maggie is perfect! She's watched our dog on long overnights, and has taken him on many wonderful walks over the past few years. As a dog owner herself, she knows what needs to be done to provide the proper care and compassion for your pet. We'd trust her with our dog - anytime!”
