“Amina was a wonderful sitter for my two cats while my partner and I were away on a trip. She went above and beyond, frequently scooping their litter, playing with our energetic kitty, and checking in on our shy girl and taking her picture in her hiding spot. We looked forward to her updates (with the cutest pictures) everyday and she was super responsive and asked great questions when she needed to.”


“I was really grateful to know that I could count on Meredith to take care of my animals after a 15 hour workday has been intense for two weeks and I need to be able to step away and focus 100% on my work annoying they were taken care of and safe and not stuck inside or in a crate and having somebody come let them out while I was at work is worth it to me they are my family you can count on Meredith and know nothing was stolen”


About: I have been rescuing and caring for cats & dogs since I was 17 years old. Pete have a special personality that takes a special personality to care for them. I am also familiar with & experienced with giving oral & injection medications I work for the local school district Aug - June so I have summers off. But I have the flexibility/availability to care for pets year round My 2 dogs and 2 cats are very well cared for. We have a fenced in yard. The cats are not allowed outside but all are chipped and protected with flea and tick treatments. They are fed twice a day with occasional treats and water 24/7.

“Erika has been great every time I’ve used her. She carefully listened to how best to deal with all 3 of my dogs, including their weird quirks and anxiety. When I booked her again she remembered what I told her the first time so I only had to update her on anything that had changed. She always sends pictures and a lovely summary of each dog and how it went. I will continue to book her as long as she remains available.”


“Benjamin was outstanding. I have a shy and nervous GSD who he cared for like her was his own dog. They got along great! Frequent picture updates and narratives about how each visit went. Would absolutely have him watch over my doggo again!”


“Casey provided great communication throughout the weekend. Sent us lots of pictures and help out with our pet tortoise also. Coming home today, I could tell our fur babies were content and loved! ♥️♥️”


“Tee-Tee overall is an exceptional at her job. She took good care of our dogs while we were away. We trust her coming into our home for the first time and she did not disappoint. Tee-Tee was not on the scheduled time that we both agreed upon. However she did communicate with me each time she was late to perform her duties. Overall I will definitely use her again because we are pleased with her service. :-)”

About: My name is Brittany, I have recently transitioned to working from home. I have a very flexible schedule, which means that I have open availability for walks or drop-ins and will be able to be with your dogs the entire time they are in my care! While I have just started out on Rover, I am still an experienced animal caretaker. Previously I have worked with horses, dog sat in college as well as for family and friends. I treat all animals just like they are apart of my family, this means they sleep in the bed, are allowed on furniture, and are given plenty of love and affection. My dogs and I also love to go on outings to the park, hikes, biking, find water to play in, as well as walks around the neighborhood. I have experience with dogs of almost any size and would be happy to welcome your dog to my family while you are away. I work from home, so I have open availability. This means I can do walks or drop-ins whenever needed. If your dog is in my care while being boarded, at doggy daycare, or house-sitting, I will be with them the entire time! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a long line to allow your dog freedom to play in the yard. In my home we have rest breaks around meal times, and dogs will be separated for meals and to have personal time to themselves. I do have kennels if your dog prefers to sleep in a kennel while in my care. But my two German Shepherds love other dogs and would be happy to invite other dogs into our home. In a client's home I will go off what their schedule is so they have their normal day. I will treat your home just as my own and will leave it in just as good if not better condition than what I found it.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was born. We are currently training a "super mut", Pudge, who is turning into such a good boy! Being around animals brings joy to my day. I work full-time, but remote four days per week and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I love to walk! I am flexible throughout the day with my full-time, remote job schedule. I am happy to take care of pets throughout the day from early morning to evening. Lots of walks and play time in this house! I currently have a high-energy dog, so there is never a dull or still moment! Each dog is different though and I am willing to flex to fit the dogs needs.

About: I love dogs, cats, small pets, big pets, furry pets, scaley pets, pretty much all animals. I am attending college to be a vet. I have experience with all shapes and sizes and love them all. I'm available most evenings (M, W, F, anytime after 3:00, and Tu, Tr, anytime after 3:30) and weekends at any time. I can check in on your dog (or any other pet) and take them for walks, feed them, play with them, or clean any messes. I can stay over night with your dog provided I am the only person in the house hold and the dog is comfortable with strangers. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me and what I can do for you and your furry friend. M-F after 3pm and weekends any time. There is some wiggle room and some times where I’ve got my own dog to look out for. We can always work it out! I’ve got a large home with a large fenced in backyard. My partner and I both love dogs, and we have one as well. We’ve got lots of treats(allergies friendly) and toys to play with.
