“It was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience thanks to Edmy and Craig they did a fantastic job keeping us updated about everything going on and giving us peace of mind while we were away! Highly recommend!!”


“We can't say enough wonderful things about Bree! She took care of our two cats, Coco and Buddy, with so much love and attention—it truly felt like she was treating them as her own. From the moment we met her, we knew our fur babies were in great hands. Bree went above and beyond in every way. She didn’t just make sure they were fed and comfortable— but kept them happy, and even managed to groom Coco better than we ever have (and that’s saying something!). Coco looked like she stepped out of a cat salon when we got home! We came home to two very content, well-loved cats—and a clean, organized space, which was such a bonus. If you're looking for a trustworthy, kind, and truly exceptional pet sitter, Bree is it. We feel so lucky to have found her.”


About: Our three beloved dogs of 15 years are now gone. We are eager to help care for your fur babies when you need someone to do so. We are care and comfort providers! Through Rover we have had over 40 four legged friends come to stay! I work out of the house 20 hours a week. I am able to be home and around for all potty breaks, play time, and walks! My husband is home in the evenings for snuggle time! I have a fenced in yard, three cats, and one rabbit. They are all current on their flea meds and shots. I live in a great walk friendly neighborhood as well.

“Ashley was very communicative! She was very great problem solver with my dog when she wouldn’t come outside due to being afraid of fireworks! She’s a life saver!”


“Amara was wonderful with my dog for a drop in! We have a very excitable 80lb dog and she was so great with her! She was communicative, professional, and I loved all the updates and photos of my pup from her visit! We will absolutely be using Amara again 🐾”


“Barbara was doing recurrent drop in visits for both of my dogs 2x a week for a few months and she went above and beyond to ensure that both of my dogs were cared for. Not only did she fulfill their basic needs, but she also went the extra mile to engage in some playtime. Barbara was communicative and punctual! I highly recommend her services!”


About: Hi, I'm Rheagan! As a lifelong animal lover with two cats and a dog of my own, caring for pets is second nature to me. I've had the joy of living with and looking after a variety of animals over the years, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers a calm and quiet environment, I adapt to meet their needs and make them feel comfortable and cared for. I believe in building trust through patience, kindness, and respect-just like I do with my own fur family. I'd love the opportunity to meet your pet and give them the love and attention they deserve while you're away! I currently have an open schedule and can take care of your pet anytime! I’m available for sittings and walks Monday - Sunday, 7am - 11pm. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment and follow routines that keep tails wagging and paws relaxed. With lots of love, attention, and respect for your pet’s needs, I treat every animal like my own.

“She provided drop in visits twice a day while we were out of town for a week for our Great Dane and Black Lab. Will book her again for future travel needs.”


“Always very reliable and respondent my normally timid cat warmed right up would highly recommend!”

I have a large fenced yard for my dogs who like to be very active and we have lots of toys around the house to play with them and the cats all day long. On nicer days we take my dog to the farmers market or dog park to walk around. I would be able to care for your pets on walks if they are harnessed and leashed so they are secure and cannot escape.

“Brittany was great with our dogs!”

About: I’ve been taking care of and training dogs for 6 years, I am great with every animal. I also make dog food and treats homemade. If you need someone I am your girl! My two dogs are my kids and my only family. It fits wonderfully I am home all day besides Saturday I have two dogs and I take care of them everyday. Including back yard fun and more I have baby gates as well as a clean environment I clean everyday I have a big back yard. I have plenty of toys and treats to go around!

About: Sometimes, humans have "ruff" days. And that's okay. I take care of your fur babies so that you can relax and have fun the human way! Hi! I'm A.J., and I love dogs. I’ve been dogsitting since 2017, and I've lived in a multiple-dog household since I was born. I've grown up taking care of dogs from the moment they enter the world on into old age. Playtime is an absolute must for this household, and payment for potty breaks is accepted in the form of tail wags and sloppy kisses. If you decide to book with me, you can be sure that your pooch will get plenty of time outside, lots of play and cuddles, and many happy memories for you in the form of photos and videos. Rope toys! Balls! Chew toys! Frisbees! We have it all. Plus plenty of opportunities for hugs, kisses, and treats! No aggressive breeds, please, but all ages are welcome! If you qualify and are interested, schedule a meet-and-greet with me today! I have a very accommodating schedule. If house-sitting isn't going to work for you, I love taking dogs out for walks, so we can arrange something like that, too! NOTE: All dogs must be up-to-date on their immunizations! I currently work full time with a very flexible schedule that I can change depending on your needs. I am never gone from the house more than four hours at a time. I’m very concerned with safety and comfort while I dogsit. Your pup will never be without indoor supervision longer than 4 hours at a time (if I needed to leave for work), and will never be outside without supervision at all. I check all fences for holes before I stay anywhere, and any walks taken will be on harnesses and leashed.

“So happy to have Sarah’s help with our dog! She did a great job and had good communication! Would definitely book with her again!”

“Leah (for as long as I’ve known her) has been a dog/cat mom. From the kitten in our dorm room, to the two dogs and 8 cats she now has, she has always been responsible and more than loving to each pet baby. She treats them like members of the family and they are obsessed with her. Couldn’t recommend Leah more!!”
