“Becky was great with our kitty! She left fun updates and pictures with every visit and even went beyond what we asked to tidy up after him. He’s a shy boy but seemed to naturally trust her. Thank you Becky!”
“Lucy was very attentive to the dogs, including being sensitive to their individual quirks. She even brought in my mail! When we came back early due to weather, she quickly ensured we didn't get charged for the last visit. Will definitely use again!”
“CAundra was great! It was our first time using Rover so we were a bit worried but she was awesome! I was very appreciative how she came and met the dogs before the stay. She updated us with pictures every time she went to the house. Would definitely be booking in the future!! Thanks for taking great care of my fur babies!”
“Cheryl was amazing! I couldn't have picked a better person to sit with my baby while being out of town! She gave me daily updates to let me know how my kitty was doing! I would highly recommend Cheryl!! Thanks again!”
“This was my first time using Rover in my new area, and I am so grateful that Holly was the one taking care of my dogs! Holly was punctual, responsive and really cared about taking care of my animals. She even brought in a package that was delivered which was very nice of her. I would 100% recommend Holly and will requesting her again!”
“Once again Emilee knocked it out of the park!! Our home and four cats were all in perfect condition. Emilee takes care of our cats with such great attention and care, like they are her own. We didn’t stress at all being gone because we knew our home and cats were in good hands. We appreciate the consistent communication and updates. Thank you thank you!!!”
About: I personally have grown up taking care of all kinds of pets. I also completely understand the importance of taking care of others animals like they are my own. I personally think it will fit in perfectly. I have a dog as well of my own that keeps me on my toes with his routine so to take care of yours will be no problem. I do have a job that I attend but can still provide care and potty breaks in between. I currently have a fenced yard. As well as I do have a dog that is 2 that would love a companion to play with.
“Another great experience with Ariel taking care of our puppy! Willow loves it when she sees Ariel. She always plays with her and takes good care of her on her drop ins! Thanks again Ariel!!”
About: I’ve had a dog all growing up and want to take care of yours as if they’re my own. No matter the size, I want to be the best sitter I can be for them and for you! I’m available mornings, lunch and evenings to make sure your dog is well taken care of while you’re gone. I have lots of free time to make sure they are loved and taken care of! I’m used to making sure that your dog enjoys their walk, bathroom break or anything else while making sure they are safe from running away, other people or other dogs! You can sleep peacefully knowing they’re in good hands!
About: I previously have walked, water, and fed my nanny family's dog. Its a large retriever/Collie mix dog. I have also done drop in dog visits for a labrador retriever and med sized mixed dog, along with dog boarding for a small minature pincher, greyhounds, and a retriever. I enjoy animals and your pets will be treated as family members at my house. While I have no kids of my own, I am a foster parent so kids of all ages do come and go. I also sometimes host guests through airbnb, however no smoking is allowed in the house by anyone. My family used to own a small black dog that I helped walk and care for. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to working with you and your pets!
About: I’ve always had cats and dogs and I can’t live without them! I also have 15+ years of equine care experience. If your animal is a mammal, I can handle it! I can make daily visits while you’re out of town and can offer daycare to cat-friendly dogs. We have two cats and one dog who get along great with other animals! Our home offers an open layout where indoor activities and games can be played during especially hot or cold weather and when it’s nice out, we have a fully fenced and grass covered yard perfect for dogs to romp.
About: When I was younger, one of my main chores was walking our black lab and grew to really love that time. I’ve had two wonderful dogs as an adult and was the primary trainer and caretaker. I would walk, feed, bathe and train our sweet fur babies. Recently our Great Dane passed and she was my main walking buddy and I really miss that time. I would love to be your dog walker and give your fur baby some exercise and interaction. I don’t currently work in the summer and with my kids busy with camps, I’m looking for something to fill my time. Between their activities I’m pretty flexible and can find plenty of time Monday through Friday to come walk or check in on your fur baby. Occasionally, I’ll be free on weekends but not until after June. I am great at following instructions so if I need to come check on your fur baby, trust that I’ll do everything needed to keep them safe. I have experience in walking dogs in different environments.
“Always spent extra time with my pup and played with him the whole time! She gave him multiple opportunities for potty breaks and always made sure he had a chance to eat! Great person to have watch over your pets, would recommend to anyone!!”
About: I’ve always had at least one dog since I was a small child, up until the last 5 years. I feel like a family isn’t complete without one. Ive also cared for family member’s dogs. I’m not currently employed, but involved with my Church Sunday mornings, Tuesday evening and the first 2 Wednesdays of the month. Otherwise I am available for pet care. I have a fenced in yard. I don’t currently have any pets of my own since my cat passed away. I can keep cats or dogs inside my home or yours and will be able to care for them in a way that makes you and your pet comfortable.
“I'm on a road trip for an art festival which has very long days away from my RV and l wanted someone to check on my fur baby. I set this up about a month ago and l couldn't be happier with Jesse and her care for Wynter.”

“If you're searching for someone who will care for your pets with genuine love and attention, Debbie is the one. I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most compassionate, trustworthy, and responsible people I know. Animals instantly gravitate toward her. It’s like they can sense her kind heart and gentle spirit. She has been the most loving and devoted grandma to my two boys, and watching the way she pours her heart into them tells you everything you need to know about the kind of person she is—nurturing, patient, and full of warmth. She treats every pet like they're part of the family. Your pets couldn’t be in better hands!”
