Lindsay stayed at our house for a few days while we were out of town. She watched our fur babies like they're her own. Will definitely use her services again - actually, we already have her booked for an October trip we're taking!

⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot express enough gratitude for Crystal! This was my first time using Rover, and I was incredibly anxious about leaving my dog, Money, who struggles with severe separation anxiety. Crystal stepped in last minute and provided the most loving and attentive care I could have hoped for. She was patient, understanding, and went above and beyond to make sure Money felt safe and comfortable. I truly felt at ease knowing he was in such great hands. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your pet as if they were her own, look no further—Crystal is amazing! I will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. We have always had 2 dogs, a cat and a chinchilla. I also grew up watching my neighbors and families pets as a teenager. I more recently within the last 2 years have started more seriously watching a family friends dogs. There is 3 of them of all different sizes so I have gotten used to dealing with many pets at once! My schedule is pretty flexible. I work part time and my shifts vary week by week but they are usually between 6-8 hours long, maybe 3 times a week. Currently I have class on Fridays from 8-3, but other than that am very open. I take a lot of classes online so I can make them work around other things. I don’t do pet care at my house but I am more than happy to come to yours and stay for however long you need. If you have a fenced in yard or are ok with your pet being taken out on a leash that would be preferred.

Chelsea was an absolutely wonderful sitter to our dog and three cats! Our dog is anxious and reactive and from our meet and greet to the actual day of sitting, Chelsea respected his space, followed all of our instructions, and went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. She also was great with our cats that all warmed up to her so quickly. We are so grateful to Chelsea for the updates she gave us, as we were actually able to enjoy our weekend knowing our pets were in good hands. Will definitely be hiring Chelsea in the future and would definitely recommend her to anyone!

About: I’ve dog sat for a few family friends and absolutely loved it! I love animals (especially dogs) and would be happy to care for your doggo. I currently work part time but I set my own hours! So evenings or early mornings could definitely work out for me. I also am a college student starting back up in the fall semester of 2025 but my schedule is very flexible. I don’t think I would be able to care for your pets in my current living situation but would be happy to come to you when needed! I love walking and I’d be thrilled to bring a friend along with me (your dog).

About: With 9 years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of every size and breed. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and loved. I understand the unique personalities and needs of each dog, from playful puppies to senior pups needing a gentle touch. Pet care is a fulfilling part of my routine, providing a sense of purpose and connection while teaching patience and compassion with furry animals like dogs and cats! Taking care of pets, whether in my home or someone else’s, includes feeding them, giving them fresh water, taking them for walks, and playing with them. I also clean their space, groom them if needed, and make sure they’re healthy. I keep an eye on how they’re doing and check for any problems. I let the owner know how the pet is doing, send updates, and contact them if something goes wrong. I try my best to make sure the pet is happy, safe, and well taken care of:)

This was the 2nd time Melisha watched our fur babies & our house while we were out of town, and just like the first time, she did an amazing job! She was super attentive & kept in touch with us multiple times throughout each day. She also sent pics of our dog & cat every time she communicated. She also handled a situation between our dog and an unexpected groundhog in the yard, like a champ. I would definitely recommend Melisha. She truly is a pro with regard to pet sitting!

Went above and beyond, after being failed by multiple sitters and almost losing hope, David agreed to sit and even made sure I didn’t miss my 6:45am plane. He arrived at my place at 3:30am!!!!! I am very impressed and would definitely book you again. No doubt this sitter has set the standard!!!!

I have a Rottweiler and anyone with a big dog knows how hard it is to find a sitter. Kerri does an amazing job with him. She is an incredible house guest. I appreciate the love she has for my buddy. Knowing he is with someone that loves him allows me to enjoy my vacations, worry free.

Delaney watched my dog, Roxie, while we went away for about five days. She did a great job in communicating. Roxie was well taken care of, was happy and had a full bowl of water when we got home. I will definitely ask Delaney to watch my dog again in the future.

About: Hello, my name is Danielle. I used work as a veterinary technician and I am looking to drop in pet sit and walk pets on my off time. I personally have 3 dogs and 4 cats so I am very much used to taking care of pets on a daily basis. I am also experienced in pet first aid and dog/cat CPR experienced. I can also watch small caged animals in my home. I have experience with some exotics and small 'pocket' pets. Please let me know if you have any questions! Thank you! In the mornings I make sure all of my pets are taken care of then after my kids are off to school I am available to come check in on your fur babies! I always make sure doors are shut and fences are secure for outside time. I always make sure leashes fit snuggly to reduce the risk of a leash slip.

Micah was such a gem to find! He was thorough in his care for my animals which is not easy as my boxer has a myriad of health and anxiety issues. He provided updates and asked questions when needed. Do not hesitate to book Micah, he is a fine gentleman who will care for your animals like his own. I will not hesitate to reach back out myself!

We went away for a week and used Emily to watch our two dogs. She stayed in our home with them and sent photos and videos throughout the duration of her stay. The dogs seemed to enjoy their time with her, she played frisbee with the young one and equally shared pet and cuddling time with them both! Will be using her again in the future. Thanks Emily!
