We couldn't be happier with the way Eren and Luca cared for our two young cats while we were away! They gave them so much love and attention, and were very patient with our skittish kitty, monitoring him carefully to make sure he was getting enough food when he was too anxious to eat at regular mealtimes. They were great about checking in and sent us lots of video and photo updates, making it easy for us to relax during our trip in the confidence that our cats were being well taken care of. They followed our instructions carefully and left our house just as they found it. We highly recommend them!

Gabrielle is amazing. Left our house in better condition than we did! And my pups absolutely love her. She was great with my cats, too, who rarely show their faces to anyone but our family. I hate to recommend her so highly, because I want to make sure she is always available for us when we need her! But she is amazing. I do highly recommend.

Hands down, Guinevere has been the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She responded in a very timely manner, kept us updated on how our three dogs were doing and sent many pictures. Two of our dogs normally go on a hunger strike when we leave, but this was no problem with Guinevere there. She even won over our crabby dog! House was left cleaner than when we left. We’re excited to book with Guinevere again in the near future.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for 4 years and have been around all kinds of dogs my whole life. I’m experienced with different temperaments, routines, and care needs, and I always provide patient, attentive care. I mainly have experience with older dogs (1 year to senior) and don’t shy away from the many needs dogs require in their twilight years. I primarily have been dog sitting for a close friend with two beagle mixes and can tell you they gave me enough experience to be able to handle the high energy and stubbornness that comes with their breed. I’m a huge animal lover so it’s all worth it in the end when our furry friends are happy and thriving! I work a full time job 3:30 to midnight so my hours of availability are mornings until 2PM and I have off on weekends so I have plenty of time to play with your pups on those days. I take the time to double check with pet parents booking with me to see if my schedule works for them so I can make sure I am the best fit for you and your pets! I take great care in respecting the homes of pets and owners when I’m providing care. I strive to prevent messes when possible and make sure pets are fed, watered and their spaces are well maintained and home owners spaces are left the same or better than when they departed.

I was initially hesitant to use Rover, but I'm so glad I did! Casey was absolutely fantastic—great communication throughout the entire stay and super responsive to my questions. She sent us pictures, which I appreciated so much! It was clear my dogs were well taken care of and happy. I am so happy to have a responsible and trustworthy care taker for my fur babies. I’ll definitely be booking again!

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable pet lover who has grown up caring for animals my whole life. I’ve had a dog, cat, and hamster over the years, and currently I have a dog of my own who keeps me active and smiling every day. For the past 8 years, I’ve consistently dog sat in my home for a friend while she’s away on vacation, giving me lots of hands-on experience with daily care, routines, and making pets feel comfortable in a home environment. More recently, I’ve expanded my services to include in-home pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits for friends and family in my area. I work from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, so I’m available for pet care before and after those hours. I’m dependable, attentive, and always treat every pet like they’re part of my own family! I make sure to give pets tons of attention and make sure they are properly feed and taken out on time! They’ll never feel like their owner isn’t home!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and taken care of them. That includes walking, feeding, playing with them, etc. I dog sat for a bunch of my babysitting families in the past over night I currently work full-time remotely, so I have a very flexible schedule. I love going on walks every day and would be happy to give your dog lots of exercise and attention I take dogs on walks and can also let them out in a fenced backyard. I’m happy to follow whatever routine or preferences the owner has

Kelly is simply the best! 8 day vacation away from my little girl and I was able to enjoy every minute thanks to Kelly. She was so nice, professional and really seemed to enjoy her time with LuLu. I loved her daily updates and pictures! I will be securing her services again for future trips and would not hesitate to recommend her. If you’re looking for top notch care, book with Kelly!

About: BOOK EARLY FOR SUMMER!!!! We only take one dog for boarding overnight (2 if they are from the same family) at a time because we cannot guarantee dogs from different families will get along without meet and greets. We can take two small or medium dogs in the same family. If you know your vacation dates book now!. We have taken care of pets, cats, and dogs, for over 40 years. we have trained puppies and have cared for senior pets. Our pets have lived long, healthy lives because of the care that we have given them. We believe it’s important to leave your furry family member with someone you can trust when you can’t be there to take care of them. We know what it’s like to have to leave our furry family member with someone when we go away and we want him to be happy and safe. That is what we will provide for your dog. We also provide dog walking, doggy daycare on a regular basis, an emergency or if you don’t want to leave your dog alone all day. We will send you pictures of your pets on a daily basis. One of the advantages of booking with us is that there are two of us who are available to care for your pet. Your pet will receive LOTS of attention and will be well taken care of in a home rather than sitting in a kennel and dog yard. I work from home and have a flexible schedule and can easily work around your dog, walking schedule, cat feeding schedule, and will be here if you board your animal with us. Book your dates early!!! We have a fenced in yard with a 6 foot vinyl fence. There’s plenty of room for dogs to play in a safe environment. We have plenty of space inside our home to make sure your pet is comfortable and getting lots of love when you must go away.

About: Im currently a Certified Veterinary Technician. I take care of animals every day with love and compassion. I’m excited to take care of animals in a more fun setting with everyone in our community. I work full time. Pet care would be part time. I’d like to treat the pet sitting similar to most scheduled people who have pets. Typically I would attend my day job and afterwords spend all of the time with your beloved pets. Arriving directly to your pet and making sure they are taken care of. Food, water, potty, ect. I’ve cared for pets in my home by allowing them the leisure of napping, play time, and potty breaks when it’s time . I like to allow pets to just be themselves. I like to also make sure they are monitored when I am present. For dogs during a house sitting I recommend a crate or special area your pet can be that is safe. I usually house sit at the same time as working my day job. During those times your pet will be alone and will need a safe area to be if I am not currently present.

We have two high energy dogs, one of which has a hard time with strangers and has a lot of nervous energy- and Rachael was wonderful with both. Felt great about the way the stay went and felt happy and relieved to know she was handling things! Will definitely use her again!
