“Donna was great with all my cats and bunny! I really appreciated her attention to detail and the picture updates. She went above and beyond bringing in our trash can and mail. I would definitely recommend Donna!”


“JoAnna did a fabulous job taking care of my cat, Eefa. She kept me updated everyday along with pictures and videos. Eefa appeared to have adjusted to JoAnna and her apartment faster than I expected. JoAnna gave Eefa a lot of tender love and care. I felt very at ease with Eefa in her care. JoAnna will be my go to cat sitter in the future. I highly recommend JoAnna.”


“David was so great! He took such good care of my kitty and was super prompt and communicative. He sent me several pics of her throughout my vacation - and he's a pro! I'm stealing all of them for my Rover profile. David was fantastic all around!”


“Amanda was professional and punctual. My husband and I were in a pinch to find pet care and she was happy to commit even with such short notice. She was respectful of our home and left everything in great shape. There’s nothing better than having peace of mind knowing your fur babies will be well taken care of while out of town. We highly recommend Amanda for all of your pet sitting needs. ☺️”


“Kate was fantastic! She took excellent care of our four cats while we were away, giving them plenty of attention and making sure all their needs were met. We especially loved the daily photo updates ❤️ It can be nerve-wracking to trust someone new with your pets, but Kate quickly put our minds at ease. She was reliable and attentive, and her communication was clear, prompt, and friendly throughout. We highly recommend her, and we will absolutely book with her again!”


“April is the best!! We have used her multiple times for walks, drop-in visits and house sitting and can always count on her to take great care of our pups- and we know they love seeing her too! Thanks again April :)”


About: I have cat of my own for almost two years. I grew up with dogs, I also take care of my family’s dogs when they need me to. I’m currently on summer break but when school starts again I can still walk and take care of your pet whenever because I do online school. It takes time and patience to build trust with animals. I have a cat at home so I feel more comfortable walking and taking care of your pet at your place.

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends pets since I was young. They have trusted me to walk, play, feed and bathe their pets while they were gone. I have a high energy dog myself and love to take him to the park and go on walks with him. I currently have no job except being a stay at home mom- your pets needs are my first priority. Your pet needs someone to throw them the ball I’m the one who can help. I have a one bedroom apartment along with my overly friendly fur baby - so I can easily crate your pet if needed. Your pet is my pet.

“We booked this drop in for a meet and greet, and upon arrival Levi immediately got down on our dogs level. It was clear from the start that Levi as experienced with dogs, and was willing to take the time to build the necessary trust with our special needs dog which is essential for someone to be able to perform the required care (lifting/moving) for him. In addition, Levi is just full of friendly energy both human and animals can't help but respond to.”


“Cheyenne was an amazing cat sitter!! She committed to helping us out super last minute and had great communication while we were out of town. She sent beautiful photos and updates on each kitty which made me feel confident they were in loving, caring hands. We highly recommend Cheyenne for all of your pet sitting needs! We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”


About: Hi there, I’m Rose (my profile says ‘Maddison’ which is my first name, but I go by my middle name, ‘Rose’ to clear up any confusion!). Let’s see— I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and had the privilege of caring for my own senior pup until she was 17 years old. That experience taught me so much about patience, understanding, and the special care older dogs require. Since 2014, I’ve been independently providing reliable, loving care to dogs, always ensuring they feel safe, respected, and deeply loved. Whether it’s gentle walks, meal time, or just companionship, I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and care they deserve. I offer flexible availability to meet your pet care needs! On weekdays, I’m available from 8:30pm to 10:30pm for evening care. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, my schedule opens up from 1pm to 7pm , making it perfect for daytime visits and extended care. Additionally, I’m happy to provide overnight sitting from Friday evenings to Sunday afternoons, ensuring your pets are well-cared for and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick check-in or an overnight stay, I’m here to help! Safety is always my top priority when caring for your pets. I keep dogs on a leash at all times during walks to ensure they stay secure and under control. I’m also experienced in recognizing and de-escalating tense situations, whether it’s encountering other animals or navigating busy environments. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and always take precautions to keep them out of harm’s way.

About: Having been through some pretty big life changes recently, I’m reminded to slow down and focus on things that make me happy. One thing that makes me happy is dogs. I’ve also wanted to get out and take more walks, so what better way to enjoy both than dog walking. I’ve had pets of all types all my life, but dogs are hands down my favorite. I currently have two of my own and occasionally watch my friends’ dogs. A friend of mine uses Rover, and I’ve been a pet sitter since I was a teen, so I thought I’d give it a try. I have taken a few training classes when my dog was a puppy and I have some experience with special needs (seniors, blindness, low mobility, and seizures). I work full time, but telework three days a week. For midday visits and dog walks, someone close to home would be best to ensure availability. We can always discuss evening visits or walks as well. For boarding, unless discussed and scheduled prior, weekends would best to ensure I can be home with your fur babe. I treat visiting pups like my own. They’re allowed on my furniture and in my bed. I have multiple crates of various sizes if a crate is needed. My yard is fenced, but dogs aren’t typically left unattended in the yard. I have seven free range chickens in my yard, so their safety is also a concern for me. I’m also open to discussion if your dogs’ needs don’t align with my typical routine; I don’t mind changing things up if it’s something I can accommodate.

“Derek and Leslie took great care of my 2 cats while I was away on a trip. They stuck to a predetermined schedule and provided timely updates with photos. I would book them again!”



“I highly recommend Ashley. She was super with our little girl cat Stella while we were away. She’s a shy kitty at first but Ashley managed to engage her with petting, grooming and play.”


“Without much notice, Brooklyn was able to drop in and tend to my two cats over the Memorial Day weekend. She is flexible, communicates well, follows instructions, and provided lots of pics during her visit. I’d have no problem using her services the next time I need pet care services.”


About: Since always having a love of animals, I have been dog sitting since middle school. In high school I began volunteering at my local animal shelter, and finally as an adult out of college I began work at a dog resort. I have worked there for two years and have worked my way through all the ranks. I am now ready to try it on my own at home. I love dogs and will treat your pups like my own. I work full time right now at a resort with my own office that I can bring your dog to as long as it is fully vaccinated. If you would prefer your baby stay at my home, then they would be inside the house alone from 8am to 3pm. I currently have a large, natural unfenced backyard and a fenced patio. My neighborhood is tucked away from any busy roads and when outside your dog may be teathered or loose depending on recall levels but always monitored. My mini Aussie is always off leash free roaming the backyard and knows to stay close. She is fixed and very friendly.

About: My name is Valerie, with over 30 years experience as a dog owner, and 5 years as a dog trainer and boarder, I know the importance of having trustworthy pet care - that's why I'm dedicated to providing top-notch service and peace of mind to my clients. I continually strive to foster a healthy loving relationship between pets and people, and I enjoy keeping updated on the latest dog training and dog psychology research. But most of all I cherish my time with my furry friends! 😊 I'm insured/bonded, and have experience pet sitting for cats and dogs of many breeds. I can offer your pup peaceful daily walks near your home, adventures at the local dog park and joyful romps in the nearby state parks as well. I can give lots of exercise and potty breaks, and I will work on whatever aspects of training needed as well. I am a pro trainer as well. If I'm caring for your pet in my home - they will be grateful for an easy life. There will be plenty of potty breaks and outdoor time if desired. (I can easily crate your dog if you would like me too as well.) I give pups the exercise needed for their age and desire - generally 2-4 hours per day of walking, romping and playing. (I will take them outside 2 times during the heat waves of summer, both in the mornings and early evenings). If it works for your pup, playing in parks and exploring the woods on exciting forest adventures is my specialty!

Maddison S.
“I have known Rose for over 10 years and I can’t recommend her enough as a dog walker and pet sitter. She has a natural gift when it comes to animals - her calm, caring, and attentive nature immediately puts pets (and their owners as well) at ease. Rose has always handled my two Australian Shepherds as if they were her own, giving them the perfect mix of love and attention they need. I’ve seen firsthand how patient and loving she is, treating every pet as if they were family. Whether it’s energetic pups needing long walks, older dogs requiring gentle care, or pets with unique quirks, Rose handles it all with understanding and dedication. Any pet would be lucky to have Rose looking after them, and I know she’ll quickly become a favorite among furry friends and their owners as well!”

Mckenzi is very reliable and well-loved by my four cats. I travel thousands of miles away but don't have to worry about my animals because they are in her hands. I have worked with Mckenzi for almost three years now and I really trust her with my pets. Thanks Mckenzi!

Joanna was great! She took great care of my cat during her drop in visits and even took a video of them playing together which made me smile. She sent multiple photos in every drop in which was very appreciated. Overall a great sitter that I will book again in the future

Emma was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Meiko while I was away and made the whole process really easy and stress-free. Communication was smooth and consistent.I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again for future pet care-highly recommend!

I can't speak highly enough about Laura as a cat sitter! From the moment I met her, I knew Little and Fluff would be in great hands. She went above and beyond in every aspect of their care. Not only did she follow my feeding instructions to the letter, but she also made sure both of them had plenty of playtime and attention. Little, who is shy, warmed up to her, and Fluff, who is always curious, had a blast with all the extra playtime and love. Every day, Laura sent the sweetest photos and updates, showing me that my kitties were not just being cared for but were thriving in her care. She even took the time to clean their litter boxes thoroughly and made sure the house was spotless. It's clear that Laura truly cares for animals, and Little and Fluff absolutely adored her. I’ll definitely be booking her again—she’s a true gem!

Sandrina was a pleasure to work with. I had some last minute changes to my booking that she was very flexible with. She was also very prompt with responses and communication. Greatly appreciated. The cats were in a great mood when I got home, so I know they were well taken care of.
