“Caitlyn is AMAZING. She truly loves and cares for your dog, whether it’s her first visit or her hundredth. She provides the upmost care, and never rushes. She shares time with your dog because she wants to, not because she has to. She has fantastic communication and truly goes above and beyond every time. I will continue to book with Caitlyn for as long as she lets me!!”


“Sarah was wonderful & we couldn't recommend her more! We have a 5 mo. old puppy, so we were a little nervous at first as this is our first time using Rover, but we felt SO comfortable and relaxed once we met Sarah. She was great at communicating with us & we loved all of the pictures she sent. We will definitely be requesting her again! :) thanks, Sarah!!”


“Grace exceeded my expectations by spending extra time with my dog and taking her for a second short walk before she had to leave. I also appreciated Grace’s communication style - always timely responses and a detailed report with pictures!”


“Amanda has been amazing!! This is the first time we have been away from Olive, and Amanda made us so comfortable. Sending pics, and daily check ins. Thank you Amanda! Will be contacting you next time. :)”


“This was my husband & I’s first time using Rover and Yolanda made it a great experience. She took great care of our pup and was very communicative with everything before and during her visits. Highly recommend having her care for your pups!”


“Alyssa did a great job and my pups seemed comfortable with her. She did all that I asked and I was able to enjoy my time away not worried about them. Thank you! PS. The pics were great to see daily!”


“Jaron did a great job taking care of our kitties while we were away. He showed up on time and provided great updates for what he saw of them and how they were doing. They are not too fond of other people but our most shy cat even came out to greet him both times! Jaron was also able to stop by and meet our cats before hand to make sure everything went smoothly. I will definitely be using Jaron again for my next vacation!”


About: Since age 10 I’ve been volunteering at the ARL. At this same time, my passion for animal welfare also led me to be vegetarian. Since being able to drive I have taken care of multiple different peoples animals during short and extended periods away from home. I am a college student and work part time so I have availability during the day and evenings to care for your pets! I am available weekdays and weekends. My main priority is your pets comfort and safety in their own environment. I am open to any specific needs and instructions to provide your pet the best care.

About: Hi! I’m Kati. I’m a stay-at-home mom, graphic designer, and dog sitter. Before I had pets of my own, I would occasionally take care of my neighbor’s shih tzu every time they went out of town. I loved their dog like my own. So much so that I got a dog exactly like theirs as soon as the timing was right for our family. About a year later we got a second shih tzu, which led to an accidental litter of puppies. Although it was by far not in the plan, having that litter of puppies allowed my children to learn an incredible amount about loving and caring for something so tiny and dependent upon our care. We were all able to be a part of their growth and training, which allowed the puppies to get used to children handling them, plus the puppies were partially potty trained by the time they went to their forever homes. My kids now have the same love for animals as I do, which is something you cannot teach. I would love the chance to be able to spread our love of animals through caring for yours. I have a two story home with a gated-off upstairs so pets can stay on the main level on the hardwood floors. We have a large privacy fenced-in backyard with tons of room for dogs to run, play, and potty. We also live in a neighborhood that has walking paths through wooded areas where we love to take our dogs for walks. My husband, three children, three dogs, and bunny live in our home. One of our pups is a sort-of foster situation: She belongs to a client of mine who is battling stage four cancer, so we are currently blessed to be her bonus family. All three of our dogs love and have always gotten along great with other dogs, but slow introductions will always take place before letting them run wild together so meet and greets are required. Since I am a stay-at-home mom that means I am home most of the day giving me plenty of time to spend with your pup(s). I’m available all seven days of the week for all services accept overnights in your home. I have a two story home with a gated-off upstairs so pets can stay on the main level on the hardwood floors. We have a large privacy fenced-in backyard with tons of room for dogs to run, play, and potty. We live in a neighborhood that has walking paths through wooded areas where we love to take our dogs for walks. We also love our down time so lots of love and snuggles will be given! When going to a clients home, I highly respect your space and privacy. I always try my best to make the most of the short amount of time I have at each home- whatever your dog feels like doing, we’ll do, as I strive to make sure they feel happy and loved before I leave.

“Elena did great with Gibby. She went above and beyond for him and sent tons of updates and pictures. She did more than I even asked of her. She took him on tons of walks and spent extra time with him. She was very responsive and kept me in the know. Gibby was very quick to get comfortable around her. I was very fortunate to find someone as great as her to trust with him.”


About: Hello! My name is Emily and I’m passionate about providing outstanding care for your furry friends! I am reliable, have excellent communication skills, deep sense of responsibility and I’m here to ensure you that your furry friend receives the best care and attention they deserve! I am 30 years old and have owned some sort of pet (dogs, cats, guenia pigs, hermit crabs, hedgehogs and much more) my entire life. I am very comfortable around all animals (breeds and sizes). I can assure you your pet(s) will be treated as if they were my own. I believe in open and honest communication, so you’ll receive updates on your pet while you are gone or for when I pop in to take them for a walk or break. Whether that’s informing you of giving medications, exercise or play time. I’m committed to maintaining their (and your) routines and keeping everyone happy. I am currently working full time but have a rotating schedule each week. Most weeks I have two days off plus the weekends. On my days off I will have plenty of time to tend to your furry friends needs, take them for a walk (or walks) and make sure they get plenty of attention, care and love. I will have time to spend at your home with your furry friend to make sure they are getting the care and love they need while you are away. I love to go on walks and can take your furry friend for a short or long walk or multiple walks a day. I also have a small dog (toy/mini Aussie) that can come play.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I had a Shih Tzu for 8 years. I’m very experienced in dog walking, reading emotions, bathing, feeding, and being attentive. I’ve dog sat multiple times overnight and daily. I genuinely love dogs, never want them to feel neglected, and want to spend as much time with them as possible and as I don’t have my own at the moment! I’m a senior in high school and play basketball and soccer. I’m available for boarding any nights of the week. I have open periods throughout the day where I could dog walk, check in etc. My weekends are normally very free and flexible for boarding, sitting, walking etc. I have a good sized yard and spacious house for your dog to feel free and cozy. I have a safe neighborhood to take long walks in. Pets can be on furniture, I have a stake to keep them tied up outside, available leashes etc.

About: I’ve grown up my whole life around having a dog and always treated our pets as family so rest assured your pets will be respected as your family. I’ve been around puppies, adults and senior dogs. Would love to do meet and greet before so your puppers can feel comfortable with me and not feel like I’m a total stranger! I currently work full time in office M-Thurs 7-3:30 PM and work from home on Friday’s. I don’t work weekends within my FT job. I can be available after I’m done with work if needed, but should have more availability during the day towards the weekends. I live in a townhouse so I have to keep my dog leashed when going on walks as ruled by our HOA association. In our home our dog roams free, but during his puppy and growing stages we had him in a large playpen.
