“Burgundy did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs. She was very responsive to texts and sent lots of pics, loved on our dogs, and came by for a meet and greet before the job even began. We will definitely book her again!”
“Elissa was amazing! She met with my cat before having me confirm/pay, which I really appreciated and she took great care of my pet. My cat was super happy, got lots of play time, plenty of pictures, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! If you are looking for a sitter you can rely on, book with Elissa!”
“Sophia was amazing! We were first time Rover users and we don’t leave our dogs very often. I was a bit hesitant, but we really needed to find help with our four dogs. She was very thoughtful and attentive to all of our pups needs. I really appreciated the daily communication and photos. We are incredibly thankful for her time!”

“Excellent care and service for our kitten while we were away for the weekend. We received a few pictures each day, and we were so happy she allowed Georgia pet her. She got lots of treats too! So thankful we have someone who we can rely on when we are away to care for our kitten as she would her own. She even brought packages I didn't expect to arrive until we got back inside and put them where we would see them.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 14. I have been responsible for walking, dog sitting, and have helped with puppies all the way to dogs who are 10 years old. I am currently a Junior at the U of A and I think dog sitting would be perfect for my routine. I think being able to pick my schedule would be very helpful. I also miss my dog at home and so being able to work and also be with dogs sounds like the perfect job. I am able to visit your house 2-3 times a day to help let your dogs out and feed them of course. I can also stay the night if that is helpful. I love going on walks myself so if you need someone to just take your dog on a walk I would love to help.
“Miranda was very helpful and patient with our dog Gracie! Even though Gracie was scared, she took her time with her until she was comfortable. Would use her again and recommend her to anyone.”
“Rico is very attentive and professional and very a great to work with! His schedule is flexible and he’s been available for some last minute help. And our pup gets along great with him. We feel safe and happy knowing Rico is taking care of our pup!”
“I am grateful for Grace’s excellent care of my pups (1 elderly). She did everything that was asked of her and was reliable. Our pups were happy, well-cared for and liked her very much.”
“Lucy did such a wonderful job caring for our cat, Otis, while we were away for a week. The visits were as planned and the cutest photos were shared with us each day. We can not wait to use again!”
“Kellie took great care of my cats and chickens while I was away. She thoroughly followed the care routine, was easy to communicate with, and also agreed to help me on short notice. I look forward to booking her in the future.”
