Everything was fine when we got home! The dogs are happy and even though they missed us they were in good hands while we were gone! I appreciate the pictures and messages while we were gone! Thanks Meredith!

Tee-Tee was great. She was very good with Joey, kept my updated, and the house was in great shape when I returned. I would absolutely recommend.

Elizabeth was very diligent and made sure to check in with me once a day. I booked specifically because there would be intense storms and she kept me updated.

Eliza was wonderful to work with and a total natural with animals. We were so impressed by her flexibility; when we realized we’d booked the wrong return date, she didn't hesitate to stay an extra night to ensure our dogs were safe and cared for. Highly recommended!

About: I've been around animals as long as I can remember. There were cats and dogs in the house throughout my entire childhood. My pet-sitting experience comes from family and friends. I have cared for dogs (both large and small), cats, and the occasional fish. While I connect with most animals, big dogs are my specialty. Whenever I meet a big, energetic dog, people notice how they are with me. I work part time, so I should have plenty of time to care for pets. I can stop by in no longer than 5 hour increments if needed. I have a house with a dog and a cat. The yard is fenceless, but there is plenty of space to put a dog on a lead.

Jada did a wonderful job watching my three pups for a week while I was out of town! The communication was on point and the photo updates of my babies were greatly appreciated. My favorite part was that she wasn’t afraid to ask questions instead of assuming things. Would definitely recommend Jada to anyone looking for a sitter that fills all the boxes!

Michelle did pet sitting in my home for 7 days, caring for my two older cats and one rambunctious younger dog. She was professional and a good commuicator from the start (my booking on Rover, setting up an appointment to meet me and the pets, setting up an appointment to get the key). She was clear about her own schedule, when she was available to be in my home and when she was working or caring for her own pets (cats). She communicated with me daily (my dog was sick at one point) and sent photos of my pets while I was away. When I returned home, my home was pristine and my sheets had been washed and changed!!! I would highly recommend Michelle and did just pass on her name to a friend.

About: I live on a farm back home & have over a decade of animal care of all kinds! I have many farm cats and two dogs at home, as well as two cats that live with me! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes & would love to spend time with your best friend! I would especially love to hang out with dogs as I don’t want to get my own until I can give them a fenced in yard:) My boyfriend Gabe also helps out with the pet care! I am pretty free all summer & I can give as much or as little attention as your pet requires! I’m available to do random walks throughout the day or stay full time at your residence to give 24/7 care to your pet. I would like to follow your routine as much as possible, so honestly whatever you do with your pet I will copy! It’s important to keep their routines from changing frequently!

About: Over the past several years I have helped care for family and friend’s pets. I currently have 4 chaotic cats. I’ve always loved looking after our 4 legged friends! I am currently doing factory work so my schedule is a bit more limited. I am fully available three days of the week, and the other four I am available 3:30-10pm. I can walk dogs as needed, as well as provide the attention and play that they need. I am also able to ensure all the owners rules or guidelines are kept to standard.

About: I have worked with and loved many animals throughout my life; gaining experience by working with rescues, shelters and non-profit organizations benefiting dogs, cats and horses in Iowa and Virginia. I have also worked in the pet care industry my whole life. I was a Pet Groomer for 10 years, have worked closely with trainers, supervised daycare & boarding, and have spent the last 3 years in Veterinary Medicine as a Veterinary Assistant. I currently share my home with 3 dogs and a cat. I often care for my parents' dogs; one of which is Diabetic & has recently gone blind. Helping her learn to enjoy walks again has been a great experience! I have experience in most aspects of pet care; dog sitting, boarding, basic First Aid, administering oral & injectable medications, grooming and training, and know that each pet needs a unique, gentle approach. First and foremost I believe in making your pet comfortable by sticking to their (and your) schedule as much as possible. By keeping feeding, walking & potty times the same, I can provide and calm and happy presence for your pet through a positive attitude and relaxed demeanor. I also enjoy providing enrichment for you pet through play, walks, games and treats. Pet care is my life! I am available most every day to help you keep your pets happy and healthy, and to help them thrive in their own, comfortable environment. From a walk around the block a couple times a week, to daily drop in visits while you're at work, and finally house sitting when you're on that special trip, I'm here to be that special friend your pet needs! Keeping your pet safe is my number one priority. From making sure doors and gates are securely shut, to triple checking medicine before it’s given and using an additional slip lead for walks and transport, nothing goes unnoticed!

About: I have 12 years experience in pet sitting and pet care. I have also owned over 8 dogs and 10 cats in my 24 years! My family and I have fostered every breed, age, personality of dog you could imagine. I am passionate about caring for these animals the way they deserve! I currently own a chocolate lab, a bloodhound, and a Shih Tzu along with 3 cats. I look forward to being of assistance to you while doing what I love most! I am currently working in the mornings Monday-Friday. I would love to fill the remaining hours and days with what I am passionate about; caring for all types of animals and helping out where I can! My dogs love to run free in my yard and they get along great with other dogs, however I am aware this is not the case with all dogs. I like to get a full briefing on the type of environment that you like for your dog to be apart of. I am easily adaptable and prioritize both you and your animals needs

About: I’ve had dogs my entire adult life and have been caring for dogs for over 20 years. I currently have a 9-year-old Boston Terrier who is truly the love of my life, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I’m attentive, patient, and very tuned in to dogs’ individual needs and personalities. I love giving dogs plenty of time outside with walks, hikes, and safe play, along with calm companionship and structure. I’m experienced with basic obedience and fun training, including sit, stay, shake, lie down, roll over, heel, and more. I’m comfortable reinforcing routines, providing mental stimulation, and making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is high-energy or more laid-back, I meet them where they are and treat them like they’re my own. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize dog care throughout the day. As a photographer, I can plan my shoots around walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I don’t have many long, all-day commitments this year. This means I’m available for consistent walks, extended visits, and quality one-on-one time. I love being active and would genuinely enjoy filling my schedule with caring for dogs and keeping them happy, exercised, and well attended to. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication. I follow all instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure at all times. I’m attentive on walks, mindful of surroundings, and experienced with leash handling and basic training cues. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and notes so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.
