Amy was great with our dogs! She listened to all of our instructions, always communicated and kept us updated! I couldn’t be more thankful for someone to take such great care of our dogs who are family members to us. Highly recommend!

About: Hello there, fellow animal lovers! I’m Maddie, your friendly neighborhood animal enthusiast. I have a dog of my own, Dutchie is a German shepherd mix. I am capable of administering medication if applicable and friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, provide comfort, and overnight stays with their animals. My work schedule is pretty flexible right now. I am available for overnight stays preferably Friday-Sunday but I am willing to accommodate your needs. Just let me know! Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I will make sure to check in with you and provide lots of photos to let you know your babies are in good hands.

About: I've always pet sat for my friends and family. I started when I was in high school. I sincerely just love animals and it makes me happy to help others being around pets. I just do Doordashing in my free time. So I can work the two apps around each other! I started Rover last year but stopped to try other things instead and take care of my health more. I'm currently down 110lbs and ready to take care of your beautiful animals! I have my two cats right now. I'm also the one my friends and family always ask to take care of their pets when on vacation. I'm the type of person to stop and move the turtle out of the road or help a lost dog find it's way back home.

Phil has watched our pups on numerous occasions and done a great job. He regularly keeps us updated on how they are doing and they always seem happy when we get home. It’s really nice knowing they are in good hands when you are out of town.

About: I have fostered several puppy after we lost our German Shepherd at the age of 3. Although we were devastated, fostering helped us and our remaining pup to heal. We foster failed with two pups and recently added another GSD so our family. I love the dog mom life. I work from home so I have availability to see about my babies and yours, very often. They are my companions, my therapy and my sanity. Since I have 4 pups of my own I would not want to dog sit at my home but will gladly see to your pet’s needs in the comfort of their own home.

Jordan was wonderful! Great communication before and during her care for our dog and cat. She regularly sent us pics and let us know how our anxious ones were doing while we were away. I definitely would recommend her and will book with her again.

About: I grew up around dogs and cats. I love spending time with my own and would love to care for yours while you are away! I work full time Monday through Friday but can be flexible with mornings and afternoon check ins during the week with plenty of time for walks and playing in the evenings or weekends. I have elementary aged children that are animal lovers and can also offer extra play time unless you do not want kids around your pets. We are flexible and happy to spend free time with animals! I follow the pet owner’s guidance for check ins, play time, house rules, and pet needs. I am open and flexible to do what you and your pet need to feel safe and cared for while you are away!

Amazing service in Santa Fe. Abigail sat with Charley while we dined. Perfectly easy for us & Charley was secure & happy when we returned. He’s a young one so we didn’t trust him alone in the VRBO. Thank you, Abigail!

About: I started my care for animals 22 years ago in a non profit animal shelter. Since then I’ve been able to gain my experience through many different roles within the field of non profit shelter work and finally working up to a vet tech. I’ve been able to use the skills of vet tech in shelter as well as a private practice for the past 10 years. I’ve handled everything from neonates who need round the clock assistance to senior pets who need special medications/care or even I pets that are diabetic and need insulin. I’m an avid animal lover and protecter. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule so fitting in pet care is usually no issue. Whether dropping off pets in the morning or in the evening for boarding, drop ins, walks, dog/cat sitting, I will make sure scheduling is accommodating so that every pet I care for gets the proper love, care, and attention they need. 😁❤️ I care for pets the same as if they are my own. They will be let out to potty every 2-4 hours. I have dogs and cats in my household so they would need to be friendly with other pets but I’m alway good with sitting at your home as well. I will treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I can accommodate a pet that needs to be crated as well.

About: I have 2 years of experience pet/house sitting and my own small pet sitting business. I’m on Rover to expand my business and get more clients. As an animal lover, pet sitting is a privilege and honor that I absolutely love doing. I have heard horror stories about neglect from pet sitters and I PROMISE that I will treat your fur babies with love and make sure they remain happy/safe/healthy throughout the duration of your travels. I’m currently working as a full time pet sitter through my own small business and I am available anytime with a very flexible schedule. I can be available for your pet all day. I will respect your home and your rules, feed your pet to your specifications, walk your dog, cuddle your cat, and love your animals like they are my own. I do this for my genuine love of animals and not for financial gain.

About: I have had animals my whole life and have taken care of many different breeds of dogs. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets for different periods of time. I have two brown tabbies of my own! I work as an educator at a high school so I am available during the school year after 3pm! I do have a weekend job that I work as well but the times are switched so I’m more available in the day time and not as free in the evenings. I have my own home and live in a quiet town where people regularly walk their animals! I love to get out and about outside so walks are a daily occurrence for me!

So Diane is absolutely the best dog sitter we have ever had. Our elderly dog (Puddles) ended up having some medical issues while Diane was taking care of her, and Diane did an outstanding job taking care of our Puddles during this time. Puddles is doing fine and we truly appreciate Diane keeping Puddles. We highly recommend Diane taking care of your pets. She is someone you can trust! Thanks again.
