“Kellie was amazing with Olaf and my kitties! They took care of them like their own and showed love and affection. Olaf also got fleas during the visits and they were quick to take care of the issue. Kellie was very descriptive with each of the visits and was quick to respond to any messages. I would DEFINITELY book them again to care of my furbabies :)”

“We had a wonderful experience with Amy as our pet sitter! She took great care of our cat, and went above and beyond to ensure he was happy and well-cared for. Amy was responsive, reliable, and kept us updated throughout, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy pet sitter!”
5. Cannon M.
“Cannon was amazing! I was super nervous to leave for 9 days since I'd never used this website before and also because it'd been so long since I'd taken a trip. I was very reassured and trusted that my little babes would be taken care of while away. Cannon is an amazing communicator and knows a lot about animals. Thank you so much and I'll definitely reach out again for future care!”

“Victoria stepped in at the last minute to help watch my pup, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and reliable. My pup instantly took to her, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. If you need someone dependable and great with pets, I highly recommend Victoria!”
9. Brenda G.
“Brenda was great with our little dachshund, Luna. She was never late, matter of fact she was always a bit early. She worked with us when we were having issues with our alarm system and was always very responsive. This was our first time using the rover app and we had a very positive experience. We’ll definitely be booking with Brenda again in the future when we need it.”

“Sadie was very prompt to the scheduled drop in visits with our 2 pups. She showed them both lots of love and patience when there and sent lots of adorable photos. She followed instructions on caring for them and asked questions when she was not sure. Will definitely book her again as I trust her with being able to care for my babies when I’m away and I don’t have to worry about them.”
12. Jose H.
“Jose was so great checking in on our dog when we were gone. He did everything we asked and more! He was also incredibly respectful, kind, and communicative the entire time. We will definitely be booking him again for our future vacations if he will have us. Thanks Jose!”
13. Leslie L.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, chickens and goats for friends, neighbors, and family members since I was 15 years old. I’ve taken care of puppies all the way up senior dogs. I have two of my own dogs, one is a very anxious and hyper active dog so I have experience with handling his anxiety and energy on a daily basis. I currently work Monday- Friday evening, my typical work schedule is 8am-5pm. I do work a hybrid schedule, so I usually work from home on Thursdays & Fridays . My days already revolve around my dogs, so your pet would get all the attention and more that they deserve. I’m big on trying to keep the routine that you have established for your dog to keep them as comfortable and stress free as can be while I watch them.
14. Reilly H.
“Reilly has always taken such good care of my cats, with extensive visits and pictures/videos of them every day. She’s a wonderful pet sitter and my go-to for any trips!”
15. Lauren S.
“Lauren is amazing with animals! She has watched our dogs for us multiple times and always takes great care of them and shows them so much love. She is a kind, caring, friendly, responsible person who loves animals and is easy to work with and communicate with. 10 out of 10 recommend!”
16. Zuheilys A.
About: I am an animal lover (including animals that are not well liked in society). Since I was a child in my home we have always had pets, especially dogs. Over the years I have gained the experience to understand and handle dogs in the best way. I currently have a Siberian Husky and I take care of my family's dogs, which are two Australian shepherd mix. In my spare time I take my dog on hiking adventures in different parks. I also work daily with obedience training to manage the energetic behavior of a husky. I am currently work 12 hours shift for three days and the rest of the days I am free having adventures with my dog (Khaleesi). I live in a house that has a fenced yard and to reduce the energy and stress of the dogs I usually walk them every two hours. I also have activities and toys for dogs of all kinds of sizes and materials with which dogs stay active.
17. Meredith B.
“Meredith took care of our Violet like she was her own when we were gone. The pics she sent everyday with the awesome captions kept us up on all kitty's escapades. We came home to a happy healthy kitty and couldn't be more happy. Thank you!!!!!”

“Thank you so much!! You really helped me out while I was in a pinch. Axel seemed to take a liking to you right away. Thank you so much for coming to meet Axel!”
