1. Kaila M.

“Kaila was amazing!! She took care of my German Shepherd while I was away for the weekend. She kept me updated the whole time and I’m so grateful she took such a good care of my baby!”


2. Natalie J.

“Natalie could not have been more perfect. She came to our home to meet us and our dog and we liked her immediately. So did our dog. On the day that she was scheduled to stay with our dog, she arrived on time and showed genuine concern for our home and our dog. She was very attentive to our dog and his routines and habits. She sent us numerous photos of our happy boy throughout the weekend. Natalie left the house as neat as she found it and while our dog was happy to see us, he was very affectionate towards Natalie as well. Our neighbors thought she was terrific when they met her out on walks with our dog. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”


3. Chelsea S.


“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 taken care of dogs all around my neighborhood and worked at the humane society for a couple months. It’s always been my dream to only work with animals. We also have a ton around the house including cats, dogs, rats, snakes, etc. Iove any and all animals!! I’m currently actively only doing side hustles as i recently quit my job. I want to do something more fun and enjoyable while also building relationships with other animal lovers!! We have many pets in my home including dogs, a cat, and even rats lol. The more variety, the better. I dedicate most of my days to my animals and their care.


7. Matthew P.

“Matt was very professional & attentive. Followed our tips & instructions precisely. He was pleasant & went out of his way to assure our 12 year old sheppard felt loved and comfortable. I will use Matt in the future!”


8. Lacey B.

“Lacy did an excellent job of caring for our two dogs while we were away on Christmas day. Came for a meet and greet prior to booking and all went well. One of our dogs is not super friendly and can be difficult at times. Stacy seemed to get along well with both. Will definitely use her again”


9. Thomas P.

“Definitely will be using him again! He is always welcome to our home!”


10. Jenna S.


“Jenna was an excellent sitter for our dog Porter over our wedding weekend. We were a little nervous having someone stay with our pup for the first time over such an important weekend, but Jenna made us completely at ease during the meet and greet and was very communicative about logistics before the stay. We also appreciated the updates throughout the weekend. We’d love to have Jenna back whenever we need a sitter!”


11. Alyssa W.

“Alyssa was great with Miguel and Scotty, my cat and dog. Alyssa communicated with me and sent pictures ensuring I felt comfortable about leaving my fur babies. My house was left in perfect order for when I returned from vacation. I would recommend Alyssa without reservation!”


12. Lonnie P.

“Lonnie handled my high energy big dogs wonderfully. He clearly cared about their health and well being, which means a lot to my husband and me when we put our babies in someone else's care. Thanks Lonnie, we'll see you next time!”


13. Sophia D.
About: I’ve pet sat for my family for years, walking, spending the night with them, feeding them. I have done it all. I have pet sat, dogs, cats, ferrets, lizards. I currently have a lot of open availability , which means I’ll have a lot of time to put pet care into my routine. I am free anytime Wednesday and Thursday and throughout the weekend. I care for pets very well, whether it’s in the clients home or out on a walk. I’m very attentive to what animals need by giving my full attention to them.


14. Crystal G.

“⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”


15. Alexis C.
“She is the most dog loving person I know, she loves walking dogs and is very respectful, caring, and compassionate to all pets. This is a dream job for her. Isn’t centered towards just walking pets she likes hanging out with them”


16. Kathryn M.
“I have used Katie as a pet sitter for over 10 years now. She is the only person I trust to watch my animals as I know she cares for them as if they are their own. I have 4 cats in my house and one dog and any time I need to go away Katie watches them all, feeds them, scoops and changes litter, walks the dog, and hangs out with them and keeps them company. If I need her to stay overnight for some extra comfort and care, she will do that as well. I can't recommend Katie enough as a responsible, loving, capable pet sitter.”


17. Thomas D.

“Tommy has provided bot drop-in and overnight care in my home. He has been excellent care for both of my dogs. I am especially happy with his ability to care for my very reactive Welsh Terrier. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a very competent, caring dog sitter!”


18. Jennifer L.

“Jennifer provided punctual, courteous and attentive service for our dogs Leia and Rambo during my daughter's wedding rehearsal and reception. On short notice, Jennifer responded to my last minute request for help to sit with our service dogs in our room at the Liberty Mountain Resort. I highly recommend Jennifer and thank her so much for being patient and supportive during such an important and special event.”


19. Dana N.
About: I can take care of seniors, puppies, and everything in-between. I am kind, gentle, respectful and reliable. I want to make sure your fur baby is well taken care of. I can sit on weekends starting on Friday at about 4:30pm, as I work full-time. I love animals and spending time with them. I can spend time with them all day on the weekends. I love spending time with my chauhaus. We cuddle and play, and it's entertaining to watch them play. I cook for them and love spoiling them.


20. Chloe R.
“Chloe R. is excellent with animals to say the least! She has grown up with a variety of pets and enjoys spending time with them all. She has worked at a dog boarding facility, as well as has 3 dogs,1 cat and a fish that live with her. She is kind and gentle, and would be a valuable resource for pet care/sitting. She is an excellent college student to add and trustworthy!”
