“Beth was wonderful. She is so sweet with my little cat and figured out right away how she likes to be pet. I really appreciated her sending pics and letting me know everything was ok. She went above and beyond in her care while I was gone and she is always very punctual and responsible. I’m very glad to have found Beth!!”


“Christina did an AMAZING job housesitting and watching our two fur children. She provided detailed information (via rover app, written notes left) and never hesitated to ask questions if she had concerns or additional questions about our dogs. She went above and beyond making sure our house was running smoothly while away for 11 days: she brought in our mail/packages, placed our garbage cans out for pickup. We will definitely use Christina again and highly recommend her!”


“Brittany took care of my 2 senior dogs while we were away for 3 days. One of our dogs requires meds 3 times a day, and she is an over reactive dog. Brittany handled a situation with another dog that was off leash very effectively! My dog does not like other dogs, and she picked up my dog to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. Overall she took very good care of their needs, even walking them a couple times a day when she could have just let them in the fenced yard. I would definitely recommend Brittany to watch over your pets and give them the best of care.”


“Fantastic! Scott was ann absolute lifesaver and helped me when I was In a crunch. He promptly responded to a last minute request . He toolk such good care of my pup Lily, who has separation anxiety. He walked Lily and made her feel comfortable and at ease. My pup was in great hands with Scott, who is an extremely flexible, reliable sitter. Thank you so much, Scott!!”


About: I've worked for a dog walking company, wrangled ferrets, and outsmarted wily cats. With nearly a decade of pet sitting experience I'm ready for just about anything your furry friend can throw at me. I'm adept at problem solving and can meet your pet where they need me to be. I have experience administering medication and coaxing the anxious and stubborn out of their shells. I am free most days in the morning and the afternoon if you need a walker quickly. My schedule is flexible and I am willing to work with clients to meet their needs. I will follow any instructions clients give for how much freedom they want their pets to have. I usually like to keep them in sight or in an enclosed area like a fenced in yard when not out on a walk. I like playing and keeping them entertained or sitting quietly together if they're tired. It mostly depends on the energy levels and temperament of each individual.

“Christina did a great job watching my dogs. We had a good meeting before I booked with her and I could tell right away how comfortable my 2dogs were with her. She texted me when she got to my house, sent pictures and texted again the next morning early to let me know the dogs had breakfast and had been outside. She confirmed both our meetings before I booked and confirmed the dog sitting as well which I really appreciated. I will definately use Christina again.”


“Ke'vin was very flexible with scheduling when we had to find someone quickly to leave town for a family emergency. With little notice, he came to our house for a first meeting and then started the next day for a overnight sitting service for five days. Our senior dog is always afraid of new people but Ke'vin sent videos of her and it's clear she warmed up quickly to him and really liked him. He gave her meds with no issue. I'm glad we found Ke'vin on Rover!”


“Jillian was great with our dog and cat and made us feel so comfortable when we left for the weekend ! She was responsive and sent lots of photos. She was very loving with our pets. We would definitely recommend her”


“Sydney was a huge help for my family as we needed a sitter for Easter weekend. She visited my girls multiple times and ensured that they were fed. She made sure that they got plenty of time to play and eat treats and provided clear communication to us. I would like to note that I would have appreciated if she wiped the paws of the pups after coming from outside due to the odor. When we came home after the weekend there was a noticeable stench from this. Other than that great job Sydney. Thank you very much.”


About: I have experience dog walking and dog sitting, most importantly making pets feel comfortable and loved in their temporary new home! I have also fostered kittens until they were ready to be adopted! I am currently at home studying for my graduate school entrance exam, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend playing with your pup! I am available to dog sit any day of the week. I have no other pets at home so your pet will receive all my love and attention! I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks.

“Dottie loved her time with Jamie! Jamie took Dottie on a walk and spent some time giving her lots of play and attention. Jamie is a great communicator who was punctual and detailed with her updates. She took wonderful care of our girl!”


“Tiffany is wonderful! Great communicator. Took great care of Sampson and her 2 dogs are super friendly and adorable and get along with everyone. I would highly recommend Tiffany! She was responsive, communicated everyday how I was away and let me know how Sampson was doing. Great experience.”


About: I have volunteered in many city and suburb shelters walking dogs of all sizes and providing cat enrichment. I have also grown up with dogs and have two cats of my own. All animals deserve the best life and I will treat your pet as my own aka spoiled!! I am flexible because I work from home, so feel free to reach out about any specific times and I can almost always make it work! I will give animals lots of attention, snuggles, play time, or whatever they prefer! I will make sure they feel taken care of and loved because I know I get sad about that when I am out of town away from my kitties!

About: I have over 20 years of caring for animals of all kinds. I am very personal, caring, and will treat your animal with the love they deserve. I have a full time job Monday-Friday. I can walk your dog in the morning and play with them until I leave for work. After work we can play and enjoy what new outside adventures have in store! I have the ability to come to your home if that’s your preference. I am very schedule friendly. I have a big common area and a large park with a dog area. I’m close to a walking path or can just stay in home and play. I am very responsible and have over 20 years of experience. I have two daughters 11,8 that could help as well. They love animals.

“Ethan, watched my golden retriever and cat for a few nights while I was out of town. He did a great job. The pets were happy and calm when I got home. Ethan responded right away and kept in touch with me during my trip.”
