“I found Megan was very responsible. My dog, Maizie, was well taken care of and I enjoyed the pictures Megan sent very much. My house was in great order when I returned.”
“Elizabeth was awesome! I highly recommend her. She would send me pictures of Luna everyday. It really helps me not stress about leaving her. I can tell that Luna was well fed and well cared for. I will be looking at Elizabeth's availability in the future when I take another trip!”
“We are repeat happy clients of Sophia! She is our fur nanny ha. She will always be our first choice to house sit for our babies we have a springer that has separation anxiety when I’m away. She is so comfortable with Sophia I don’t think she even realizes I am gone … just having a sleepover with her favorite person. Sophia is wonderful great communicator and very conscientious about how valuable your pets are to you. They love her!! She gives me peace of mind I know my babies are well loved while we’re away!”
“This was our first time using Rover.com and we were nervous leaving home and pups in the care of someone we really didn't know. Plus we'd never left our dogs with someone they didn't know. But Burgundy was amazing. She kept in touch with us with both reports and photos and didn't hesitate to ask a question about the dogs. We returned to find our house looking like we'd never left and the pups in great shape. Thank you Burgundy!”
“Madelynn did a great job staying with Kal. He got plenty of exercise and playtime, and was in good spirits when I got home. She also communicated well and took good care of the house. I'll definitely be asking her to watch him again!”
“Janna was GREAT with my cat, Gigi! She clearly loved her and was immediately comfortable with her. She sent lots of great (and artistic) pictures of her every day and kept me updated on everything going on. I highly recommend her for taking care of your kitty!”
“Cannot recommend Alexa enough. I have two doodles that I get very nervous about leaving with a sitter but Alexa is truly truly the best and I will 100% be booking her again. She gave them excellent attention, long walks, gave meds as needed and kept me updated with pictures and texts the whole time. My dogs are like my children and I rarely find anyone that I’m comfortable leaving them with- I could not be more grateful that I found Alexa. My girls loved her, too- I’m fairly certain they were a bit disappointed when she left and I came back home! :)”
About: Hi I am Tracy! I am a lifelong lover of dogs and I am dedicated to caring for small pups like my own two fur babies l. Our dogs are our family and I will treat yours the same.

Fully fenced in yard with puppy panels to provide extra security. Your pups would never be left alone outdoors to ensure a safe and secure environment.
“Blake did a wonderful job caring for our energetic pup and curious cat while we were away. He was very attentive to details, easy to communicate with, and sent a bunch of delightful photos of the fur kids during the sit. I highly recommend Blake for both dog and cat care!”
“Georgia was professional, thoughtful and courteous. She loves spending time with our pup and was respectful of our house also. We’re glad we’ve found her and will seek out her services all the time.”
About: I have not had as much experience as some other sitters probably have had with dogs, but I guarantee I am a fast learner and I would love to gain experience and spend time with them! I am most definitely an animal person and would genuinely enjoy getting to take care of all kinds of dogs, cats, or other pets. How much time I dedicate to a service all depends on the service itself and the pet I am taking care of. Not to say my effort is any different, only that my energy is. Pet care is much more flexible for a crazy schedule like mine, and once I begin college, it will be convenient to multitask watching pets and taking care of my work. I will be able to work on weekends, and weekdays for less demanding services (due to classes). I have a large, fenced yard for dogs to run around and play, a clean and relatively spacious home for them to wander, and I have two very shy cats that may come out to play every once in a while. In a clients home I will of course adhere to any regulations the owner has and keep the fur babies happy and well taken care of. To get to know your pet better, please give me their and your preferences on feedings, playtime, and habits I may need to know about (such as biting). Your pet will be more than comfortable if I know them better and what I’m working with.
“Natalie was fantastic! She regularly checked in with us and sent pictures of our fur baby. We look forward to Natalie pet sitting again in the future. Would definitely recommend!”
“April made my trip so much more relaxing. She went above and beyond to check in and let me know how my pups were doing the entire time I was gone. I will be using her again and again. And highly recommend her for any of your pup needs.”
“Raelynn did a fantastic job watching our dog. She took her on multiple walks, gave her lots of cuddles, and was kind enough to send multiple pictures throughout the sitting. Would definitely recommend her and would use her again.”
