Emily did a great job with my dog Kaylee. At 12 years old she can be fussy about her caregiver but seemed very relaxed when I came home. The house was tidy, all was well!

Tayler was awesome with Stevie over a long weekend stay! There was a change in my cat’s health needs right before her stay and she took it in stride and made sure Stevie got all medications as directed. I felt Stevie was in good hands and all updates were prompt and thorough

This was our first time using Rover and a pet sitter. Lillie was communicative from the very beginning and throughout the week. She provided excellent care for our 17 year old cat and 6 year old sheltie. We came home to happy animals and a house that looked like no one had been in it. Will definitely use her again.

About: I've pet sat on and off for neighbors since I was a kid and grew up with dogs and cats in my own home. My childhood dog was the sweetest pitbull so I don't have any preconceived notions about any breed I love them all! I'm currently in real estate photography so I do shoots on and off during the day so if planned I can do stop ins and walks throughout the day. But for longer pet care I can do overnights on weekends. I'm very gentle with all animals but I also know how to handle difficult situations very well. It's very important for a pet owner to know how to deal with aggression/fights, sickness, running from the house, etc. and I've dealt with all of this and more.

I do not know where to start other than Hillary went above and beyond for my furbabies Piper and Paislee. The night before Hillary was suppose to come stay at the house Paislee became very ill and was at emergency vet from 615pm until 6 am. I explained everything that was going on to Hillary and for not ever watching Piper and Paislee she was very attentive to Paislee as we had to leave 2.5 hours after getting her home to the airport. I cooked everything I needed and left all medications on the counter and let her know the times of next doses. She seemed comfortable with everything and I couldn’t have been lucky enough to find her. She used her best judgment and I couldn’t have been anymore blessed with her caring PIper and Paislee. I was able to get updates about every other day due to our traveling plans. I let her know many times how grateful I was. Then I came home to a beautiful letter and she washed all the blankets from the dogs, towels, and the guest room bedding. She do not have to do that but I am grateful. Hillary went way above and beyond caring for our dogs. Thank you Hillary from the bottom rny heart!!!!!!!!

About: Im a reliable and active animal lover. I’ve cared for dogs for family and friends and treat every pet like my own. I’m attentive to each animals needs whether it’s going for a walk, playtime, or giving them company. I’m a nurse looking to hangout with some furry friends and get some extra time outside. I’m a nurse working full time looking to find a way to spend extra time outside. During the week I am available early in the mornings and in the evenings. I am available anytime during the weekends. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your pet will be treated like family. I have one three year old cat at home who is shy but friendly. I prioritize constant supervision, secure spaces, and clear communication with owners, including updates and photos. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are always my top priorities.

We had an excellent experience with Abigail and would absolutely book again. From the start, communication was clear, proactive, and professional, which made coordinating everything seamless. Our dogs were incredibly well cared for—happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable the entire time we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was obvious our sitter paid close attention to routines, preferences, and small details that make a big difference. Our home was also left in great condition—clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. That level of respect and care doesn’t go unnoticed. Overall, this was a stress-free, reliable experience. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and easy to work with, I highly recommend her.

Sierra was absolutely incredible while caring for my two hectic dogs for two weeks. She is one of the kindest, most caring, and communicative pet sitters I have ever worked with. Throughout my trip, she kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. What truly sets Sierra apart is how much she genuinely cares. During our time away, one of my dogs needed veterinary attention, and Sierra took her to the vet and sat there for nearly two hours, even though she ultimately wasn't able to be seen. Her willingness to spend that time ensuring she was cared for meant so much to me! She also went above and beyond in countless ways, including helping with household tasks like doing laundry, and washing, drying, and remaking the spare bed, which was completely unexpected and greatly appreciated. It was clear that Sierra treated our home and our dogs as if they were her own. Undoubtedly will be booking with Sierra again!

Victoria did an excellent job watching my two dogs at my home. One of my girls was a stray and is very nervous around new people. Victoria went above and beyond to ensure my pup felt safe and relaxed as she gave her space to slowly warm up. Communication while I was away was consistent and frequent. My home was well cared for as well; Victoria even tended to a houseplant I had neglected! I'll definitely book Victoria again in the future.
