Tania is the best! This is the second time she’s been our sitter and both times have been wonderful! We have two Great Danes and they’re not exactly the easiest, but she handles them so well. I would totally recommend Tania to be your sitter!

It's wonderful to have found a pet sitter who cares for my pets like family! Logan creates a familiar and comfortable environment that can significantly reduce anxiety in pets, and regular feeding routines help maintain their weight. This is the first time I went out of town and my dog didn't lose weight. Logan sent me photos everyday which made me happy. I will definitely use Jordan as a pet sitter again. Highly recommended!

About: I have worked in a mixed animal clinic for 3 years. I have a degree in equine business with preVet qualifications. I have taken care of pets and livestock since I could walk. I have experience with the youngest to senior pets. I’m currently available before work and after work to check in on your pets! I’m used to all different kinds of animals as well as several different needs. My dog is fully crate, leash, off-leash, and car trained and loves to play.

Michelle did well with staying a few nights. House was in good shape as when we left. Our dog seems to have been taken well care of and happy. I received pictures daily, which I enjoyed!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. Me and my girlfriend (also a rover sitter) currently own a pit bull, a senior lab, and a 2 year old Cane Corso. Good with all dogs including large breeds. I work full time as a land surveyor Monday through Friday. But I would be good for things such as evenings out and weekend getaways. I genuinely understand how important your pets are to your life and will treat them with the same respect and love I treat my animals.

About: I am a woman in my late 50's, (a mom and a grandma) who has been taking care of "critters" of all types for over 20 years, between Texas, and my home state of Minnesota. I am basically available all the time since I am retired from my career field, in Nutrition, and do this full-time now. I have done pet sitting, on the side, even while working in my career field, as animals have always been my passion. My place is in the country and very pet friendly. I have a small Chihuahua mix, a standard Dachshund, and a shepherd mix, who are all quite friendly. Your pet can be immersed with mine, or kept in a separate, fenced area; whichever works best for your pet. All can be confined as to provide your fur baby plenty of tlc and attention.

Christopher was so attentive to my special needs dog. My dog felt comfortable and safe with him. He made me feel safe as well, leaving my babies in his care. That says more than you know. I absolutely adore Cristopher and highly recommend him.

Ashley did a great job watching our dog, Angel, while we were on vacation. She kept the house spic-n-span, did the dishes, stripped the bed, took out the trash, etc. She followed all the directions we left her and was responsive when contacted. We would definitely hire her again if needed.

About: I have been working for a dog daycare and boarding company for a little over two years now! I love dogs and enjoy taking care of them but I need to work closer to home. I have experience bathing, blow drying, and trimming nails. I have worked with a maximum of 50 dogs in my yard over the holidays. While I am currently working in a dog daycare facility in the new year I will be working close to home. I will have open availability except Saturday mornings by January 1st! In my job we make sure every dog is happy, healthy, clean, and well fed. I keep notes on how dogs have been eating, any changes in behavior, and always pet them thoroughly to check for any concerns.

About: I have been around all types of animals since the age of 4. I have been trusted by neighbors, friends and family to bathe, feed, administer medications, walk and play with their dogs and cats. I am responsible and understand that your pet is a member of your family, not just an accessory. I will love and respect your pet as well as your home. I am an artist and enjoy keeping my schedule flexible. I am awake by 6am most days and in bed by 10. I can fit the right family in on either a consistent or one-time basis. Currently, I am not able to keep pets in my home but I am happy to visit your home or house sit if you prefer.

Enya was a consummate professional and dutiful caregiver for my cat while I was away. She was kind, communicative, and patient earning my cat's trust and showing her love and affection while house sitting. I'd recommend her services to anyone in need of a trusted pet service professional.

Arely was absolutely wonderful for our 2 pups. They loved her. One of our babies has diabetes and is blind. Arely took such good care of her. She knew just what to do when giving her shots. She sent us great photos everyday. She also went above and beyond in making sure our home was as clean and tidy as it was when we left. We will certainly be using Arely to take care of our babies from now on!!!
