“Vanessa was great with our girls! We felt very comfortable leaving them in her hands. Everything went great and she left the house the way we left it. The girls get so excited to see her :) We highly recommend Vanessa and will be calling on her again for future vacations.”
“Becky was fantastic staying overnight for my senior pup and four cats. She followed all instructions and my furfam were well taken care of and content. Becky is also very reliable and communicative. I will definitely book her again!”
“We could not be more grateful for Carina! We decided to go on a trip over the thanksgiving holiday to visit family. We weren’t sure we’d find anyone to hang out with our kids while we were gone because of it being a holiday. Carina responded quickly and was very professional and courteous. She was so great with them and we came home to some very happy pups!”
About: My wife and I are self employed and looking to make extra money caring for your fur babies! We both have 13+ years experience caring for pets and currently have 3 furry friends of our own. We chose to do this together to be able to help as many families as we can and give you the peace of mind you deserve while away. We are familiar with many different breeds and are comfortable with all sizes and ages. Whether you are in need of a house sitter or just a walker for a day, feel free to message us and we’d be more than happy to help you out! Hope to hear from you soon! We are both self employed so our schedule is flexible. We have the freedom to work around all pet care needs so your pet is priority. We do not offer pet care in our home, as we value the comfort of our elderly Bulldog. We offer care in your home and would follow all instructions you give us and treat your pets as we would our own.
“Kirsten was great! She helped us out with really short notice, and was very flexible & accommodating. Cooper seemed to connect with her right away! We will definitely book her again!!”
“Carter was amazing! He kept us updated while we were gone, sent us pictures of our baby. He took great care of Finn, our house and all my plants while we were away. I would 100% use his services again and recommend him to anyone who needs a house sitter, pet sitter, dog walker, he left our house in great condition, honestly cleaner than when we left. Thank you Carter for taking care of our 115lb fur baby!”
“Alison was the most wonderful pet/ house sitter I have had. She took such great care of my dog and house for 12 days. She sent me pictures of my pup which was so appreciated. She even cleaned up her poops! Wow no one has ever done that.”
“Emrys was fantastic with my senior dog, Mal. He was a great communicator and always let me know what was going on with his schedule/key hand offs, asked questions when he needed, and sent timely updates every day. In the pictures he sent, I could see my dog getting happier and more at ease with him as the days went on. Emrys was courteous and cleanly and did a great job cleaning and changing the bed sheets for the sitter that arrived after him. My only tip for others is that Emrys does have an active life outside of his work and isn't the type of sitter that stays in every night with a book or a film. So, be upfront in your consultation if you have expectations for when you'd like him to be home for lights out. He's very respectful and communicative as long as he knows what you're wanting.”
“Mckayla, was very sweet and patient with Lucy who can take a bit to warm up to people. After returning I know that Lucy was in good hands and they had a great relaxing weekend full of plenty of attention and cuddles from Mckayla.”
“Veronica came to my rescue after my original sitter cancelled as we were on the road driving out of state. She kept me informed and was able to give my loveable pups the attention and care they needed. Will definitely book with her again the future!!”
“Rachel was such an amazing dog and house sitter. She messaged when she arrived and departed, along with sending pictures and updates on how my fur-babies were doing. I felt at peace knowing my babies were being taken care of. I highly recommend Rachel for any of your pets needs.”
“Melanie was very professional and communicative. She did a thorough pre-pet sitting meeting where she clearly demonstrated her understanding of caring for animals. I had to change some timing of my pets care and she was very flexible. My cat needs special medicine that Melanie was able to administer without issue.”
“Riley was an excellent dog sitter! She provided me lots of great updates throughout the time I was away and gave my pups lots of love and attention. She kept my house clean and was ultra responsible, asking any questions she may not have had the answers to. Would definitely recommend Riley!”
“Jodi goes above and beyond when caring for your pets and house sitting! Once again she did an excellent job not only taking care of our pets, but communicating with us and sending pictures. It’s always hard leaving our pets, so it’s great to have someone you trust caring for them!”
“Ashley took time to get to know my dog and was more than accommodating to my meet my schedule. She stayed at my place and cared for my pet with love and much care.”
“This was my first time using Rover, I was nervous but I’m so thrilled to have met Mary! We connected well and I felt extremely comfortable after introducing her to my rambunctious 4 dog household. All the dogs loved her at our meet and greet. She stayed overnight with our two senior pitties while the rest of us went away for the weekend and all went well. I will definitely use Mary again!”
About: Pets are family! Taking care of them is one of the most rewarding experiences and provides unconditional love. I have been around numerous animals my entire life, and currently have 3 dogs! Daisy, Luka and Honey! I love being outside, walking, hiking and playing fetch on our 2.5 acre property. I always have time for pets! I work Monday-Friday but am available after 3pm or on weekends. I also offer boarding and there is always someone home for our fur babies! I have a fenced 2.5 acre property and 3 friendly, loving and playful dogs to keep your baby company! If you prefer, I can always place your dog in a large kennel or keep them separated from others. I am flexible and can meet most needs!
About: I’ve been taking care of all types of animals ranging from dogs, birds, cats, bunnies and even wildlife such as raccoons. I’ve always been a big animal lover. I’m currently a college student just looking to take care of some fur-babies in my free time. I am a college golfer but I do have a lot of free time on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am also willing to make time on weekends. I will treat the dog like it is my own child, I think our pets are more than just animals, they are our family as well.

Brittany S.
“Brittany is my wife and has been my best friend for 16+ years! She has always had dogs ever since she was a kid. The second she turned 18 she got one of her own and after we got married we got another one! Brittany is always taking the dogs on walks, dog park trips, and keeping their brains stimulated by practicing commands at least once a week! I can also attest for 3-4 of her friends that request her to watch their dogs when they’re gone. Overall, she has a huge heart and there aren’t enough animals in the world to fill it!”
