Holli took excellent care of our two dogs! She was very attentive and kept us updated. We loved the pictures she sent. One of our dogs needs medication and she didn't mind at all. We definitely recommend her and she will be our go to for any future trips.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of personal and others’ pets from an early age. I’ve worked in a nature center taking care of wild animals, including birds of prey. I’ve always had a love of animals! My husband is active -duty Coast Guard and we moved back the the area in August of last year. I have availability throughout the week to accommodate a variety of needs. I look forward to creating personal care schedules to fit each families’ needs. For my home care, I offer multiple walks each day and my own well-behaved dog and cat for social needs. We are working on an enclosed backyard space for longer, free outdoor play time! Pickup and drop off service is possible. For client home care, I can be flexible, depending on the needs of the client.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Jess for our first time using Rover. She made us feel at ease, clearly loved dogs, and made the most of each visit with our dogs. We would gladly trust Jess with our dogs in the future!

We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She stepped in last minute for a drop-in appointment, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She took great care of our dogs, giving them plenty of attention and even playing a game of catch to make sure they got some exercise and fun. It was clear she genuinely cares about animals, and our dogs were happy and well-cared for when we got home. Highly recommend her services—she was a lifesaver!

About: I am Fear Free Certified, with 2 years of professional experience in animal shelters, and upwards of 5 years personal experience with pets of all shapes and sizes. I specialize is animals who need extra attention, like dogs who struggle with resource guarding or reactivity. My goal is always to relieve any animal of fear, anxiety, or stress. My schedule is open and flexible! I understand that things happen, and we aren’t always able to book a sitter a week in advance. I always do my best to keep my schedule open for same-day bookings Every pet parent does things their own way! I cater to each parent’s routine and rules. If your little one needs a slow and steady approach, I’ll always match their speed. If your dog has high energy and a high prey drive, they’ll be tuckered out and happy by the time I leave.

Amber is the most compassionate and animal loving person I know! She goes the extra mile to ensure the pet she’s caring for (in this case an extremely shy and nervous 2 year old cat). Amber sent lots of photos (mostly of my cat hiding under the sofa) and she ensured Valentine was eating, drinking water and using her litter box normally. She kept me updated on a regular basis throughout the time we were gone. Amber even filled the bird feeders so Valentine had lots of birds to keep her entertained. I would definitely recommend Amber for taking care of your pets. She’s reliable, punctual, communicates well and is loving and caring too! What more do you want from a pet sitter taking care of your fur baby? Nothing! Because Amber is the best at what she does and that’s exactly what I look for when needing a pet sitter!

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals cats, dogs, fish, and even plants! I love to help my friends, family, and more with walking their dog, feeding their cat, or watering plants! I work only a few days a week because I’m a stay at home mother so I would give your pup all my love. I’m available during the week from 11am - 8pm. I take my dogs on walks as well as play fetch at least once a day! I feed them twice a day and let them out every 2-3 hours. If i dog/cat sit for someone I go to their house 2 times a day to feed, walk, or whatever else I’m instructed to do.

About: I have owned several dogs throughout my life. Small to big dogs as well as cats. I now own a German shepherd who just turned one in December and have trained her from a puppy. I have a big back yard and love animals. I have experience walking dogs of many sorts and have baby sat for several people before with dogs of all sizes. I have water dishes and food dishes for dogs and leashes and live in a neighborhood thats friendly and not too busy so it would be perfect for animals to walk in. I am currently working part at home and have plenty of time to take care of animals by boarding them or come to you anytime. I have a big yard for the dogs to run around in. I also have two fur babies to keep other animals occupied and to play around with.

About: I started working at a boarding barn facility when I was 13. With the long list of animals I cared for, taking care of the barn cats and dogs were my favorite. I started studying veterinary care and animals science in high school; during these classes we learn animal behavior, anatomy, and even proper grooming. Now I am looking to start a career in Vet Science! I own 4 cats. Everyday is animal care, from basic feeding, grooming, cleaning to vet visits and cuddles. I’ve owned dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I still work with local farms, so animal care is extremely important to me. Basic care for all animals includes food and clean water everyday. Litter gets scooped once a day and dogs get let out however many times they need. I am 100% willing to do extra care as needed for the animals and clients!

We are so happy with Rebecca! She took great care of Willow and she was happy when we arrived home. It was my first time leaving Willow since we welcomed her to our family but after meeting Rebecca my mind was at ease. You can instantly see the love she has for all fur babies!! Highly recommend and we will definitely be seeing her again!!!😊

About: Hi! My husband, Scott, and I have been together 20 years and recently became empty nesters. Scott is a naval ship designer and I do medical billing. We both love animals and make a great team. I have always been an animal lover. As a child I would walk the neighborhood dogs for free and as a teen I volunteered at the local animal shelter. I have house sat overnight for 6 years and we both have taken dog training classes. Animals have always been a part of our family and we will show your furry family members love and attention while your away. We can take your pets on walks, play ball or whatever it is they love to do! We love our puppies and beautiful home, my husband and I built ourselves 12 years ago. We would care for your home and pets like our own. We both work remotely and co-own our dogs with my mom. We are pretty flexible with our schedules and would be available to your pets needs. We are very respectful of people’s homes and would follow house rules. We would never have visitors unless agreed upon and would keep your home clean and your pets cared for.

Sarah is the most caring pet sitter ever! On Christmas, she made sure our cat got a cute present from Santa Paws 🐾 she sends very thorough updates, pictures, and videos. She is easy to coordinate with and we are so happy to have her and not have to worry at all about our cat when we travel :) I highly recommend her services.

It was a holiday weekend and stressful to begin with, especially finding care for Maxx. Rebecca made that the least of my worries. She was really great with Maxx (he is a big boy and can be a handful) and the high points of my days away were her comments and pictures of what they did together and how he was doing. She also did a lot of little things she really didn't have to: taking him for a little walk, scooping my cat's box, taking out the trash, etc. I really could not have made a better choice! Thanks Rebecca!
