1. Colleen O.

“Colleen did an amazing job with my whole crew of pets. I had to book last minute as my dog sitter quit mid job and wasn't taking care of them properly. She was attentive to detail, played with them, and was very respectful and pleasant to communicate. I will 100% be booking with her again in the future!”


2. julie w.

“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!”


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. Niveda S.

“Niveda did a great job house sitting and caring for my dog and cat! I came back from a weekend away to happy, well- exercised pets and a clean house. She also sent regular updates so I didn't worry about my pets while I was away.”


5. Colleen W.
“Colleen has a passion for loving animals. She is attentive to their needs. She is responsible and will be a great person to love on your fur baby. Check her out!”




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. 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.”


8. Colby W.
About: I can do anything from home defense training to basic training, having your dog walking calmly on a leash with no pulling and your dog will have no problem with sitting, laying, and staying. My daily and weekly schedules are very flexible. So I am available majority of the time to watch your dog when you need me too. I will love and take care of your pet as my own. Following any routine or rules you may have for and with your dog.


9. 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!”


10. 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”


11. Skye K.


“Skye was referred by a friend whom I put great faith in as a pet owner. I could not have been more pleased with the service she provided and the cleanliness in which my home was left when she finished. She stayed in touch and sent pictures that were very much appreciated. Hope to see her again soon!”


12. Abreana N.
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I am experienced in making a range of animals feel comfortable and loved. From eating, to playing, to cuddles, I’ve got it! I am a current college student with a part time job. While it may sound busy, my schedule is lenient and I can be available if notified a week in advance! I am willing to clean up after animals. I will do the necessary chores regarding them. Any special requests concerning the pets will be prioritized.


13. Brandi M.
“Brandi did a great job! It was very reassuring knowing there was someone at my house to care for my pets and keep me updated.”


14. Preston S.
“Preston would not only love, care, and protect your pet but would make sure your dog gets what it needs in fitness nutrition and help you train your pet to be more well mannered in public and with other dogs!”


15. Lauren V.
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.


16. Jalin G.
“Jalin grew up on a big dairy farm and has always had 2 dogs in her life since she was 3 years old. Amongst all the cows, chickens, cats, goats and pigs! She’s an animal lover for sure. She currently has 3 dogs and takes them to the vet and for walks and to pet stores!”


17. Tara S.
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.


18. Corey J.
“Corey is a great friend of mine & I’ve known him for several years. He’s very responsible & friendly & a great caretaker for pets.”


19. Hannah S.
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!


20. Samantha M.

“Samantha is a family friend and she has kept my German Shephard, Winnie, many times while I have been out of town over the last few years. She is wonderful with Winnie, treats her like her own. I would highly recommend her to keep and love your fur babies.”
