“Thank you so much Diego for taking care of the girls. Without your help, I would not have been able to take the very important trip. Gertie and Gretchen will definitely miss having you here with them!”


“Tanaysia was so good with my shy boy Gumbo! She recognized his anxiety and checked in with me and we had a plan of action. He warmed up to her so quickly too, which made me feel a at ease! She was communicative and asked questions when needed. Will def have her back again when I need someone!”


“Rebecca was incredible. She was so sweet with Chloe. She sent constant updates and pictures of Chloe and I felt so comfortable. She really paid attention to Chloe’s needs making sure she stayed calm. She really gets involves in the care. Highly recommend, will continue using her!”


“Alayza was great! My husband and I had to leave town quickly for a funeral and Alayza came over the same day I put in my request to Rover so we could meet each other. I have a 16 yr. old Border Collie with kidney disease and a complicated diet and a need for two good walks a day. Alayza was willing to take our request and stayed at our house for some nights. When we returned after 5 days, the house was spick and span but more importantly, we have never seen our dog in such good spirits on a return from a trip!! We are so grateful for Alayza and plan to use her again in the future.”


“Nichole was fantastic and accommodated a booking on short notice. She was great with Bruce and made sure to follow up with regular updates. We will definitely book with Nichole again in the future!”


“Our small rescue dog has only been left alone for a couple of hours a day since she was saved from living in a field with a bad breeder. We were very anxious about leaving her for a week but Jason did an outstanding job of keeping her happy, well walked, and communicated with us twice a day or more to make sure we were comfortable with her status. We highly and unconditionally recommend Jason and look forward to using his services again.”


About: I have had at least 1 dog and/or 1 cat at any given time during my life. I currently have 2 cats who are friendly with other animals and frequently sit my brothers dogs—one is a high-energy large puppy and the other is 15 years old. I am highly attentive and will provide personalized care so that your pet feels loved while you are away. I have experience in giving medications (orally and via syringe with and without needles) to both dogs and cats. 1 of my cats has been diabetic for a year so I’m experienced in administering insulin, monitoring blood glucose levels, etc. and also had to tube feed my cat for a month. I work from home during daytime hours so my schedule is fairly flexible. Afternoons/evenings are the most flexible but I can do daytime bookings with advance notice. I will always come and meet you and your pet in your home prior to confirming bookings so that you are comfortable with the match. If providing care in my home, I have a large fenced yard that is loved by my dog friends!

“Dana took such great care of our little ones while we were out of town! Our dog was taking an antibiotic and had a bit of a complicated feeding schedule and Dana was so flexible and diligent. She sent us lots of pictures and I could see how much they loved her. I would rebook with Dana anytime, we were completely at ease knowing that she was with our pets.”

“This is my second time using Patricia and the way she cares for my pups puts me at ease. I don’t have to worry about them or the care when I am traveling and I get the Custer photos with updates each day. She will definitely be my regular sitter!”


“We’ve used Rachel a few times for both dog walking and house sitting. Our two dogs absolutely love her! Rachel was great about sending us photos and updates on the dogs. It really made us feel that our dogs were in good hands and being well taken care of. Would definitely book Rachel again and highly recommend.”


“Kristin did a fabulous job caring for our cat Benny. She went above and beyond following the instructions we set for him by spending extra time with him and providing me with thorough updates and photos. He was in great hands with her. We will absolutely use her services again in the future!”


“It was our first time using Rover and we were a bit nervous but Denai was excellent with Robin. She kept us posted daily about her stay in our home and her outings with Robin. She communicated with us about her schedule, to make sure Robin was getting what she needed. She took excellent care of our girl. I definitely look forward to working with Denai again.”


“Randy watched my pup at my place, and I highly recommend him! My dog is anxious and sometimes goes on hunger strikes while I’m away, and Randy was watchful of him to make sure he was eating. Randy was communicative with several rounds of photos throughout each day, and he was respectful of my home while staying with my pup. Great experience!”


“Lilly was fantastic! She is super attentive, and made sure our puppy August was well taken care of. August was on a pretty strict puppy schedule, and she was extremely flexible and worked through it all. She stayed at our home for a week dog sitting, and always made sure to stay in contact and send updates. We would definitely ask for her be”


“Steve stayed at our house with our two dogs while we were out of town for two weeks. It is tough to leave the pups behind for so long but having worked with Steve for several years now we knew they would be well taken care of. Steve loves the dogs like they are his own and sends notes about their behavior and care throughout the stay. I’m always hesitant to give Steve such accolades as one day I am afraid he will be too busy to book with. So definitely think of Steve for your pets care needs but save some days for us!”


“Krista did an excellent job with taking care of Jackson. She provided plenty of photos to assure me he was ok. She even brought in a package I forgot was being delivered. The house was kept in great condition. I would recommend her for her services plus I will be definitely going to use her again.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for a long time. In college, I would dog sit for professors and family friends. This included dogs of various breeds, sizes, and ages with different needs. My roommates after college had dogs and I helped to take care of them and even train them. I have had my dog for 3 years now, since he was just a little puppy. I am at work from 7am - 3pm during the week (Monday - Friday), so I am available on weekends and evenings throughout the week. I live in an apartment, so I am currently only able to care for pets in their home for dog sitting services. I prefer meet & greets before accepting jobs to make sure it is a good fit.
