We had an absolutely amazing experience with Faith! She was incredibly attentive to detail, kept our home spotless, and took such thoughtful care of our pup. You can tell she truly loves animals. She is patient, engaging, and our dog looked happy and relaxed in every update. Her communication was excellent, we received regular photos and updates, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She followed all instructions perfectly and made sure routines stayed consistent. If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy, detail-oriented, playful, and communicative house sitter or pet sitter, I can’t recommend Faith enough. We will absolutely be booking with her again!

Maya did an outstanding job for us. She accepted a last minute request, which included a 6-day stay at our home while we were out of town on vacation. She connected very well with our 72 pound medium Bernedoodle, giving him lots of attention and care. Everything went smoothly and she remained focused and supportive to the end, even when our return flight was delayed by 3 hours. Thanks again Maya.

Andrew (Rusty) exceeded all my expectations when it came to boarding my two dogs. First of all, this was the first time they were boarded. They are 7 yrs. Old so I was a little nervous and wondering how my dogs would react. Rusty was amazing with them and they came back relaxed and I knew they were well taken care of. Rusty has a great fenced in area and my dogs love being outside. I highly recommend Rusty and so does Stella and Beau!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old. I grew up on an acreage and we always had cats and dogs. I can administer shots and medication and have experience bottle feeding kittens and bunnies. I love animals and understand that each one is different and deserves love. I am patient and careful with each pet, giving them the attention they need and feel most comfortable with. I have a soft spot for senior animals. I am a teacher, so I am available all summer for your pet sitting needs! During the school year, I am only available on the weekends or after school check-ins. I will follow all directions and rules for taking care of your pet(s). Each one is special and I understand they all have their own needs. I am great at going with the flow with your pet and letting them lead the activity.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs almost my whole life! My personal pet care background is incredibly diverse. I currently manage a lively three-cat household with my sweet cuddle bug Lillie, and my sister’s rambunctious and silly littermate brothers, Scout and Sawyer. I am also the proud owner of a childhood calico named Luna, and a Shepherd/golden mix, Osa. Because Osa is a high-energy, reactive dog, I learned a lot from her and personally worked on training her. Additionally, I have experience with senior pets. I lovingly cared for my late childhood dog, Sisi, which included managing her daily medications. I have also administered short-term medications to cats. I specialize exclusively in house sitting at your home, drop-in visits, and neighborhood dog walks. I look forward to giving your pets the absolute best care! :) My schedule is very flexible this summer, which makes it easy to stick to whatever daily routine your pets are used to. Whether they need a mid-day drop-in visit, a walk, or someone to stay overnight to keep them company, I can easily accommodate their regular timing. Since I will be caring for your pets in your home, my main priority is keeping their environment safe and consistent. I am highly attentive to details like securing doors and gates, keeping dogs properly leashed during walks, and following your specific household instructions. I always send regular photo updates and check-ins so you have full peace of mind while you are away.

This was our first-time using Rover and leaving our pup and cats with someone we didn't know. Gage met with us ahead of time and stayed in touch while we were gone with photos and updates. We felt comfortable knowing they were all in such good hands. Would refer and use Gage in the future! Thanks again!

About: As a middle schooler, I worked on a farm property as a pet groomer. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and a specialization with dogs that are disabled and have behavioral issues. I enjoy being active, going on walks, and making sure your fur baby gets the love they deserve! I am currently working part time at an eye-care office! I have a lot of free time, and would love to spend it with your fur baby! I am flexible and happy to accommodate to whatever you and your pet’s needs may be. I am respectful of the spaces I am in, and I understand that life can get busy sometimes. I never judge a messy home, and promise that it won’t be an issue. I am just happy to help!

EXCELLENT! that’s the one word I’d use to recommend Mel! She is incredibly responsible and followed every instruction I gave her to the T. When my sick dog had an accident, she cleaned up immediately and administered her regular medications exactly as instructed. My fussy, pampered dogs were fed precisely the way I wanted, without compromise. Mel went above and beyond with endless kisses, hugs, and belly rubs, so much so that my dogs were reluctant to leave the true 5-star treatment they received. Our furry babies may not speak, but they always let us know when they’ve been genuinely loved and cared for in our absence. And yes, they definitely “told” me they want to be with Mel again! If I could give her 10 stars, I absolutely would. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
