“First time ever booking with Rover or having my dog cared for while I was away. She is a handful!!! But I came back and Dustin had already gotten her used to the "Gentle Leader" leash......where did my crazy dog go that pulled my arms off???!!! She was transformed. Just enough discipline balanced with lots of love. I was super relieved to leave her in his care- he is excellent. (although I dont want too many people to book him so that he has no time for me again....)”


“Carolyn took such great care of our fur babies! She sent pics daily and kept us updated on how things were going. All the animals loved cuddling with her. Will definitely rebook her for our next vacation!!!”



“Natalie was amazing! I felt so safe leaving my two kitties in her hands. She gave me through updates and pictures every day, including how they were eating and general activity levels. I could tell my cats really enjoyed having her there. She also went above and beyond cleaning my place before she left! Safe to say I’ll be booking with Natalie again ☺️”


“Absolutely wonderful! My girl was so well loved, cared for, took her ok so many walks and adventures and was such a great communicator. Thank you Janessa for being amazing!”


“Another amazing pet sitting experience with Holly in the books! She took stellar care of my 2 cats and our senior dog. Our dog is a rescue with a history of abuse, and Holly took so much time and care learning what makes our doggo feel comfy. Holly is always communicative and thorough, and it’s an incredible relief to be able to leave town without worry. Thank you, Holly!”


“Chynna was fantastic! We had him stay at our place with our pup and two kitties. He was super communicative, we cute photos and updates, and we felt so great about leaving our little animal pack in his hands. We will absolutely have Chy and stay again.”


“Andrea was wonderful! She took really great care of my animals while I was away for camping. I have two very energetic dogs and she did great with them. I also have two cats, one who is very shy. I think it’s a testament to Andrea that my shy cat came out of hiding and allowed pets! I will definitely be booking with Andrea again in the future!”


“Joel was gracious and accommodating when I had a last minute need for a dog sitter. He asked thoughtful questions that gave me confidence that he’d take good care of my boys. And he sure did! They had a great time with Joel. He’ll be first on my list for any future dog sitting needs!”


About: I am an experienced Veterinary Technician who has been nicknamed the cat whisperer. Although cats aren’t my only specialty! I love and care for all animals including; reptiles, insects, fish, and fractious cats or dogs. I am able to medicate your stubborn fur baby’s whether it’s oral or injectable medication, I offer free nail trims if needed while I stay at your home, and I’m able to monitor for any general signs of pain or discomfort and advise if a trip to the Vet is needed. With 5+ years in the Veterinary field and 8+ years of dog walking and pet sitting experience I can promise you your baby(s) will be in good care. During work days I am available to check on your pet early mornings before 7am, mid days around 12pm, and after 6pm. I have 3 days off during the week which will allow me to stay with your pet all day if needed. Trust is earned through gentle interactions and like humans all animals have their own personalities. I am experienced in reading animals body language and identifying if something is wrong. I am experienced in approaching and handling anxious dogs and cats. If extra love and patients is needed then that’s what they will get. I am also able to identify choking, coughing, or seizures and know animal safety very well. Your pet will always be safe with me and will never be in a situation where they will be harmed.

“Mel was awesome. She took excellent care of our two dogs and our house while we were gone for a week. She sent us regular updates and pictures, and we could tell that the girls were happy and well cared for. Mel has great energy, was communicative, and respectful of our home. Highly recommend her!”


“Alyssa was the absolute best!! This was my first time leaving my dog and she made the whole process so easy and stress free. always providing photo updates and was quick to respond!! My milo and I loved her and hope to book with her again in the future :)”


“Karyn Is puppy was everything we were looking for and more. Attuned to dogs and people (and kids too!), responsible, kind. It was easy leaving our pup as well as our house under her care. So grateful! We will be reaching out again. 🙏❤️🐶”


“Liz was a gem in taking care of Roscoe who is a 14yr old Cocker with cataracts & is hard of hearing. I left a long list of his health needs while I was gone. Liz was capable & responsible in doing all of them. She also left my house neat & orderly.”


“Olivia was absolutely wonderful! She stayed overnight with my kitties and took excellent care of them and my home. It was so nice to get away and not have to worry about anything. I’m so happy I found her! I will definitely book her again next time I’m out of town. Thank you Olivia!”


About: I grew up with a black Labrador retriever, Benita, we had her for sixteen years. Growing up some of our favorite activities were going on long walks to the beach. In recent years, I have taken care of my friends dogs Archie and baby while they’ve been on vacation and have also lived with two cats. I work from home so I have a fairly flexible schedule. I am available mid day to go on walks and can be accommodating to your pets needs for shorter or longer walks. I live with a cat so my home is set up for cats. I have a litter box and non toxic plants in the home

“Jordan cuddled with my old gal and spoiled her with more walks than she normally gets! He was responsive, sent photos, and she was healthy and happy when I got home.”


“Morgan did a great job watching our dog, cat and home for 4 days. She was flexible and communicative and took excellent care of our house. We would definitely book her again!”


“Kian was absolutely amazing with my 7-month-old Yorkie, Pikachu! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in his care. He was responsive, warm, and genuinely enthusiastic about spending time with Pikachu. Kian sent me updates and photos throughout the stay, which was so comforting and showed me just how well Pikachu was doing. Pikachu came home happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and feel so lucky to have someone I trust this much to watch my dog. I’d highly recommend Kian to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter. Thank you again, Kian!”


“Sharon is a gem! She treats my 2 boys as if they are her own. She send a me constant photos, which I love and appreciate. One of my dogs has a specific eating schedule and she is able to feed my dog when he needs to be. I have used Sharon several times and will continue to use her as I very much trust her”
