“I can’t say enough good things about Julie! She was professional and took amazing care of my pups (and fish) while we were out of town. Before her overnight stay she even came to meet me and the pups and brought them treats. I have no doubt they were well taken care of and will absolutely use her devices again in the future!”
2. Colleen O.
“Colleen was definitely a God send, she took excellent care of our Great Dane staying with him during our 7day vacation. She went above and beyond making sure to send us pictures to reassure us he was ok. Duke will definitely be seeing more of her.”
3. Nicole A.
“Nicole was amazing! She took care of my fur babies better than I do and left the house better than she found it. I got updates every day without having to ask for them, which was great since this was my first time using Rover and I was nervous. Will absolutely be hiring her in the future.”
4. Alec B.
“Alec was amazing! He was great at communicating and sending pictures of our two dogs. He made sure they were fed, taken out routinely and loved on. He also left our house cleaner than we left it! I would highly recommend Alec to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
5. Alexis W.
“Alexis was friendly and helpful with my dog and with my pet chickens. Thorough and thoughtful and authentic. Great sitter that actually spends time with your pup!”
6. Katie O.
“Katie did a wonderful job following our detailed directions on feeding and giving medicine to our rabbits. You would be lucky to have someone like her stay at your house and care for your animals.”
7. Jeremy W.
“Jeremy did a great job. We had some communication issues at first but we got those worked out. He even watered my plants for me and made sure the outside chickens and geese had water while we were gone. Our dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned. <3”
8. Skye K.
“Skye did great with Fennick and Nova! She house sat for me for a night while I had to go out of town. My dogs love her, and she took very good care of them. She did a great with my two very hyper pups, and I plan in using her services again. I would definitely recommend her!”
9. Preston S.

I’m familiar with giving medications and keeping on a set schedule. I have 2 pets of my own so I know how important it is to keep them on a schedule.

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life! I have been a trusted house sitter for neighbors with multiple pets and cared for my own lab, golden retriever, and sheepadoodle growing up. I’m currently a graduate student on clinical rotations. When I’m not working in the clinic, I am able to care for pets on my days off. I am willing to house sit or perform drop in visits. I can feed, walk, and clean your pet! I am also willing to administer medication. I will make sure to make your pet feel at ease while you are out.

About: I've taken care of cats my whole life. I have some experience with dogs and birds. I take care of the stray animals as well. I also volunteered at animals shelters and made sure the cats were all fed and taken care of. I go to online college for pet grooming. I'm currently working part time so I have time to take care of animals. I'm available weekdays but times can vary. I'm available anytime on weekends. I feed and water my pets first everyday before I do anything else. I take my pet on walks and car rides to get exercise.

About: I used to work as a nurse but I’m currently a stay at home momma! I've always had a passion in helping others, but my second passion in life is caring for animals! What better side gig than to help care for some lovely pets. I do have experience through my nephew with service dogs. I attended his two-week training to learn how to handle the dog and commands. I've always had pets, particularly cats and dogs, with a few fishy exceptions. I've been trusted by many friends and family members as the go-to person for pet sitting. You can depend on me to be reliable and caring with your fur babies! Fortunately I’m able to work with most schedules. I’m able to be very flexible with my routine thankfully!! We go with the flow over here! I have a fenced in yard, a garage & plenty of house space. We do have one dog and one cat currently! They are spoiled & very used to being around other animals!

My experience spans various breeds and temperaments, ensuring that each pet receives personalized attention and care. Whether it's a quick walk around the block or extended pet sitting services, I provide peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their furry friends are in good hands!

My reliability and dedication ensure that your pets receive the attention and love they need, no matter how busy life gets! When taking care of a client's pet in their home, I make sure to follow their rules and wishes to the letter. I understand that every pet has its own routine and preferences, and I am committed to maintaining that consistency. From feeding schedules and walking routines to playtime and specific care instructions, I ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you're away. Your peace of mind is my top priority, knowing your furry friend is in familiar surroundings and well cared for.

About: I’ve been in a family with animals my whole life, particularly big dogs. We’re most commonly known as the “zoo house”. I fortunately have a way of managing animals that I learned at a very young age. I empathize with our furry friends and will treat them with all of my respect! I’m currently working full time, M-F, up until 5:00PM. I am totally free on weekends, along with after I get off of work! I usually arrive home at about 5:15. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's, I always prioritize their comfort and safety. I ensure they have a clean, secure space and stick to their routine to minimize stress. Regular playtime, exercise, and affection are key. For in-home stays, I respect the client's space and maintain upmost cleanliness. Plus, I will provide daily updates to keep owners informed and reassured!
