7. Greg H.
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I understand their needs and their curiosities about people. I have trained my own dogs a series of obedience commands and playful commands that allow them to enjoy their life to the fullest. My daily routine has always been to give my pet the attention and love they deserve. They always get their needs taken care of before I start my own routines. I am in constant communication with pets, talking to them and allowing them to know they are safe. As a pet owner, their needs come first. They always rely on me to be their provider and protector.

“When Alyssa kept my dog Bailey, it was like she never knew that we left. Alyssa made her feel so comfortable and at ease in our absence. I will absolutely use her for pet sitting in the future. She will treat your pet like her own! We had total peace of mind knowing that she was on the job.”
10. Hannah A.
About: I have personally had pets since I was old enough to walk, but for the past 2 years I have worked as an animal care taker and I also volunteer as a rescuer in multiple groups. I am experienced with all varieties of dogs and cats. I bottle feed and can give medical care to cats or dogs as young as 3 hours old. I have some experience with behavioral modification as well as being able to teach both cats and dogs tricks! I am new to this app so please give me the chance to show you why you should continue booking with me! I am used to taking care of pets, it’s one of my passions. I plan on becoming a vet one day and I feel like this will be a great opportunity to expand my training. I tend to animals all hours of the day.. just ask mine! I have fostered and saved over 500 dogs and cats in just 2 years. I have a fenced in area designated for my personal dogs as well as your fur baby! I have crates and play pins if needed. I always carry extra treats! You’re dogs will have had plenty of exercise and love before they go home :).. for cats, I have 4-6 cat towers, a catio, and lots of fake mice!
11. Haley H.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, both my own and for family/ friends. I do have a small shih-tzu, she’s older and gets along with other animals, so she won’t be a problem. I’m looking to make a little extra money while in school and thought this would be the best fit for me considering l love animals! My availability will change from week to week but I’m very flexible for the most part. And cannot wait to love on your fur babies!! If there’s anything I should know (feeding schedules, medicine, etc.) please let me know ahead of time! I’ll always be available to answer any questions you may have or help out as much as possible! And you can always expect lots of picture while your away:)
12. Madison T.
“Madison has watched over my fur babies on several occasions and I wouldn't trust anyone more. She sends pictures to update on how they are, she continuously is making sure I am reassured they are okay. They are fed well, she plays with them and even rests with them when its all done.”
13. Jennifer H.
“Jennifer has been the designated "mom" for my dogs for years and, when I return home, I could see they were always a little conflicted when I came to collect them! She gives love and attention and dogs respond. Jennifer is detail oriented and will manage any requests you might have in caring for your pets. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer Hinkle as your dog sitter!”
14. Sara S.
“Reece is always great with all of our pets - her love for pets of all sizes is obvious, from our cat to our Great Pyrenees - she loves them all and they love her.”
15. Summer B.
“We can’t say enough good things about Summer! From the start, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring with our furry family members. We have two dogs and an elderly cat, all with their unique personalities and needs. Summer quickly built trust with each of them, which was incredible to see. Our dogs absolutely adored Summer – daily walks, playtime, and even the extra snuggles made them so happy. And for our elderly cat, who can be a bit finicky, Summer showed exceptional patience and attentiveness, ensuring they received the care and calm atmosphere they need. What truly stood out was the regular updates, pictures, and little stories that made us feel at ease while we were away. We returned to a clean house and happy pets, which speaks volumes about Summer’s dedication and attention to detail. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who will love your animals as their own and give you peace of mind, Summer is the perfect choice. Thank you for going above and beyond!”
16. Kelsey H.
“Kelsey did an amazing job watching our dog Ollie. She went above and beyond what we expected. Ollie can have accidents, so she made sure he was watched closely and let out frequently so our house wasn't a mess when we came back. She sent pictures and regular updates, and watched over our house and cat just to be friendly. When we came home, he was much better behaved. She worked on his behavior and the way he responded when people walked in the house. We came home and he was calm and respectful. She's has such a soft spot for animals, and you can tell in the care Ollie received. I HIGHLY recommend Kelsey to watch your animals. She's trustworthy, dependable, and loving to your furry family members!”
17. Megan G.
“I felt very lucky to connect with Megan. I needed someone to let Duke out after some last minute changes to my travel plans. She was easy to communicate with and worked with my changing schedule to make sure my dog was cared for. She updated me with pictures and I could see he was comfortable and loving his walk. I would highly recommend her for any Rover needs!”
18. Jay P.
“Jay is an awesome pet sitter! She cared for my cat when I was away for a funeral. I received videos and updates during her visit with Millie!! I felt completely comfortable that my cat was getting love and attention while I was gone and will use Jay every time I need to. I have also seen Jay with her own pets and she is an excellent pet mommy!!”
19. Jenna G.
“Jenna is an amazing pet sitter. I have had her pet sit my animals about 10 times and every time she does great. She actually trained one of my puppies. When I came home he was potty trained! I recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
20. Shania G.
“Shania is very passionate about animals. She has her own dog, who she considers a child. She is very caring ,compassionate, and affectionate towards animals. She walks her pup everyday, and is always buying him new toys. She’s very responsible and her pet has always come first. I’ve never seen her not run up to an animal to give it lovings.”
