“Briana is amazing and is great with my baby!! Always good having someone that my dog can warm.up to naturally and feel the same love I give him! Definitely will be using her again!!”
“We absolutely loved having Tia watch our cats. Her updates were so thorough, she played with our cats, and sent many pictures per visit. She even accommodated our shy cat by feeding her under the bed. This was our first experience with Rover and we could not have been happier. Thank you so much Tia!!”
About: I have a variety of pet care experience, from a board in kennel worker, to a kennel technician at a humane society, and my own lived experience with 5 different dogs across my lifetime. I've never met a dog I couldn't get along with! I'm patient and give all the care I can to any animal in my care! I'm a graduate college student so if you need pet care during the week, it will have to be after 5 or before 9. The weekends are completely free and I would be happy to watch your dog or cat all day!! When I'm taking care of pets, I follow whatever routine is given to me as closely as possible. This includes regular feeding, letting dogs out to the go to the bathroom or play, and sitting with the dogs as much as I can, whether that be in the same room with them, or actively petting and playing with them. I try to be as present and caring as possible and I will follow any rules you have for your animals!
“Sarah went above and beyond to ensure our animals were taken care of while we were gone for a long weekend. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to take care of them for us! Will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“I can’t recommend this app enough. We have had so many great experiences with Laura in particular! Our pup just loves her to pieces! I don’t know how we could do this without her. She is always punctual and accommodating to whatever we might need.”
“Crystal took care of my 3 cats and they were not stressed when I returned. She is professional, kind prompt and likes animals. I definitely suggest Crystal for your pet needs. I will be having her if she is available, help me again.”
“Meghan was amazing! I loved that she communicated extremely well and sent pictures on every walk. She was the kindest person. My fur babies definitely loved her! Wil be a repeat customer!”
About: I've had many pets, and so far have taken care of two dogs. I'm good with feeding on time and potty breaks, along with plenty of playtime and exercise. I watched a family friend's dogs (two) and house sat for 2 weeks when they went on a trip to Europe. I own a larger German Shepherd myself and know how to bathe and even aid in dogs who aren't fixed when they're on their time of the month. I can fo basic grooming and bathing This would technically be my job, so I am available whenever for the most part! I fo have occasional doctor's visits and physical therapy due to a surgery I had, but I can be there pretty much whenever I'm needed! I make sure to know house rules before I do anything. I like to make sure I follow the routine the animals are used to as close as possible. I typically feed my dog at the same time every day, make sure she's played with and taken out every other hour. Fresh water is always set out and refilled. She knows basic commands, so I try to do leash training for 20ish minutes whenever I can. With cats, I like to free feed throughout the day, have a cat fountain with fresh water, and plenty of play time to help stimulate. I'm very attentive to when an animal needs something
About: I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds since I was 8 years old—everything from energetic dogs to independent (or extra-needy!) cats. Having grown up with pets my whole life, I truly see them as family. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just a comforting presence while you’re away, I’ll be there with patience, love, and reliability. Their happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priority. While I currently work full time, I’m available most weekends for your quick getaways, as well as weekday evenings to care for your fur babies. Whether it’s a weekend stay or a drop-in visit after work, I’m here to help give you peace of mind while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping your pets comfortable and your home respected. I follow your instructions closely,whether it’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medication, or playtime—so your pet’s day feels as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they feel loved, safe, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I've had pets pretty much of all of my life. Starting with a dog and a cat, and eventually a turtle, rats, a hamster, chinchillas, a bearded dragon, chickens, ducks, goats, and pigs. Animals have been and will always be a special part of my life that I cannot do without! I am happy to provide your special family members with personalized care while you are away! I have 7 years of veterinary technician experience trained in Fear Free techniques. I can give oral and injectable medications, and am able to perform basic CPR measures. (P.S. I am also available for farm sitting services at an additional rate!) I am a stay at home mom that owns a farm and a business, but have availability for drop in visits up to 3x per day if needed. I follow all instructions from clients and make sure all animals and your home are treated with respect and care, just like I would expect from any sitters I'd hire.
“Nicole left me with zero stress leaving my two pups for my week long vacation. She kept in constant communication and made me feel at ease while out of state! I will be booking her again for all of my future travels. My dogs loved the time they spent with her every day!”
About: I've had and taken care of dogs and cats as long as I can remember. My current dog, Bruce, is an 11 year old Australian Shepherd. We also have Daisy, a 1 year old calico cat. I love walking dogs and playing with both dogs and cats, as long as they want to play! I'm retired now and have time to share with your fur-babies. I'm active and love to walk with my dog all around our neighborhood and am looking forward to meeting your dog and discovering new walks. I am responsible and will be respectful of your property when I come for drop-in visits and to take your dog for a walk. If you are out of town and you need me to bring in mail or pick up news papers or move the trash cans back from the curb, just let me know, I'll be happy to do that too.

Colleen L.
“There’s no one I trust more with my pets than Colleen. Our 8-year-old German Shepherd, who is not easy to win over, absolutely loves her. Colleen’s love for animals goes beyond words; it shows in how she connects with them instantly and cares for them like they’re her own. She’s reliable, calm under pressure, and truly understands what pets need to feel safe and loved. If you’re looking for someone who treats your animals like family, Colleen is that person.”
