“Tori was great! Arrived right on time, gave an insulin shot no problem, and spent the rest of the time giving loves and taking cute pictures. We'll absolutely use her services again and would recommend to others!”

“This was our first booking with Rover and Sarah. She kept us updated on our kitties and sent tons of pics. Sarah is very personable and professional. If she wasn’t sure of something she didn’t hesitate to ask (we told her to reach out anytime with questions). Our getaway turned into a great trip knowing our animals were being taken care of. Sarah truly put my mind at ease and we are forever grateful.”
About: Owner of a Siberian husky for over a decade. Have trained her since she was a puppy. She is now a senior and requires minimal walks compared to when she was young. She gets along with cats really well and is around farm animals frequently. Working 40 hours a week while managing pet care is essential, I am able to work around my schedule as fit for the animal's needs. Please inform me if any needs are requested to make sure everything, like fresh water, is taken care of. I offer care at the clients home, which I have experience in. I am usually in the same room as my pets, so I will often be in the same area with your pet while they are under supervision. Please inform me at least a day in advance for booking.
About: I recently moved back in to the area from California. We are still getting our bearings off the city and finding new places to play and explore As a disabled veteran and single mom, i am home most of the time, outside of some time at the gym or taking my 3 year old to the park. She loves animals, is quite gentle, and is never just left with animals alone. She tends to be helpful in filling Lola's bowl with water and food and tossing a treat to show some love. If kids are not okay, I am child free Saturday through Sunday afternoons, for those times when you need to be doggy free. Fresh water is provided inside and out on the deck to bask, as well as a constant eye when not out for a walk. I tend to avoid dog parks with other people's pets under my watch, I'd prefer to maintain a safe and predictable environment.
“Kaylee was very accommodating and flexible. She gave great updates and took excellent care of our furbabies! Would definitely book with her again and highly recommend that you do the same!”

About: I have extensive experience working with anxious dogs and understand the patience, and gentle approach they require. As both a veterinary professional and the owner of an anxious dog, I am skilled at building trust to help nervous pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. Senior dogs are another area where I have significant experience! I understand the importance of maintaining medication schedules and am comfortable administering a variety of medications. My background in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets with unique medical and behavioral needs. Whether your dog is anxious, highly energetic, affectionate, independent, or a little bit stubborn, I want to providing care that meets their individual needs while ensuring they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for. Thursday through Sunday, I have full availability and can provide attentive care throughout the day. I also send regular photo updates and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Monday through Wednesday, I work 12-hour shifts. During those days, I am available for overnight stays and can complete potty breaks and daily care before work (around 6:00 AM), during my lunch break (approximately 12:00–1:00 PM), and after work (around 8:00 PM). water is always available and refreshed regularly. I am highly accustomed to following structured feeding and medication schedules. You can trust that your pet's meals and medications will be given on time following your instructions! I enjoy providing plenty of affection and attention to pets who seek it. Whether your dog loves to be out playing fetch or prefers a little more relaxing, I adjust my care to their individual personality and comfort level. Communication is a priority for me. I typically provide photo and text updates every 1–2 hours so you can stay updated on your pet while you're away. If you prefer fewer updates, I am happy to accommodate your preferences.
“Amy did an excellent job with our cats, and was very communicative when issues arose. Our cats were happy and well cared for, and I would happily recommend her to anyone!”

“Great job caring for my Nico! Gave him the potty break and energy release he needed during my long work days! Will be using in the future for sure! Thank you again for all your help, and being so helpful!”

“Gabriela was such a blessing! She took such great care of our kitty Bill. She sent daily photo updates and detailed messages describing how Bill was doing. 11/10 we appreciate her so much! Goes above and beyond.”


About: Hello! My name is Daniel, and I am an experienced walker and pet sitter in both at-home and daycare environments. I have one dog of my own, Lily, who is a lab-mix rescue. I work best with cats and dogs, but care for other pets as well. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds of dogs and I am experienced with walks, daycare environments, home visits, and overnight stays. I practice and reinforce good walking habits and do what is required to meet a dog's activity and stimulation needs.

About: About Me Hi, I’m Emily! I’ve had dogs my entire life and quite frankly, I can’t imagine a home without them. I love them so much that if your pup is used to sleeping on the bed, I am more than happy to end up in a giant pile of dog cuddles at night! Of course, if they have strict kennel rules or sleep in their own space, I am incredibly respectful of maintaining your structure and boundaries. My Specialized Experience & Training Philosophy I don’t just watch "easy" dogs—I am deeply confident and experienced with large, powerful breeds and complex behavioral needs. My own rescue is an 80lb powerhouse who is highly reactive toward other animals, especially on walks. Navigating her world means I know exactly how to manage a strong dog under pressure, stay hyper-aware of our surroundings, and maintain absolute control to keep everyone safe. Because of my years spent training my own dog, I am highly comfortable working with a variety of training tools and structures. I am experienced with and confident utilizing prong collars and e-collars (shock collars) if your dog's current training regimen requires them. I firmly believe in consistency, so whatever rules, tools, or boundaries you have established at home are exactly what I will enforce while you're away. What I Offer Whether your dog needs a calm, highly structured environment, a patient handler who can handle a chaotic walk, or just a dedicated companion to watch scary movies with them on the couch, I’ve got you covered. Your pup’s safety, mental peace, and routine are my absolute highest priorities. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m currently working full time as a mental health/drug and alcohol counselor. My schedule varies - I have weekends off and am typically available all day all night Friday - Saturdays, Sundays I have some home stuff/grocery shopping to take care of but will be able to drop in for visits or even stay some Sunday nights. My job is pretty self paced and mostly remote so I am able to adjust my schedule around my clients. If you're looking for someone who is highly organized and completely unflappable, my background is a perfect fit. I was a full-time nanny for years, successfully managing three young kids alongside all the household cooking, cleaning, and laundry. That experience gave me sharp common sense, an ability to learn complex routines quickly, and a deep respect for house rules. Whether your pets have a meticulous schedule or your home requires extra care, I can seamlessly jump right in—and I’ll gladly help keep the house clean and tidy while I'm there
About: I have a high drive working German Shepherds, and husky. I have always been full of energy and taking care of crackhead dogs give me a lot of patience, so puppies and active dogs are my favorite and specialty! And I've been bitten and scratched enough times, it almost tickles... Almost During hot months my dogs are given all attention in the evening/at night and during cold months my dogs are given all attention in the afternoon so there is a period of time where I can help take care of yours outside of pet care and work! I will make sure to follow strict instructions and be very attentive and watchful of your pup! My own dogs schedule consist of playing, walking, training, cuddling, feeding and potty every 4-6 hours! And I would love to treat your pet with the same amount of needs whenever you feel you can't! No dog left behind!
“Tyler did an awesome job caring for my cat. He sent a couple pictures and a little blurb summarizing the visit every time and he was always quick to respond to any messages I sent. He also left a kind message on my whiteboard welcoming me back to my home which was lovely after a full day of travel! Thanks Tyler!”
