“Olivia did great with my puppy Dolce. She was very communicative and quick with her responses. Sent lots of photo updates and kept me in the loop the entire time. Would definitely recommend!”

“Melissa is the best!!! Super kind, very detail oriented, always punctual and great communication. She leaves super detailed notes on her visits, and honestly I think our cats prefer her to me now 🤭 We will continue to ask her to take care of our cats as long as she is available. 10/10 definitely recommend!”

About: I have always been the go-to person for many of my family and friends to go and feed the dogs or hang out with them. I grew up with dogs and always understood cues on when to give space or when they needed something! I adopted my dog almost two years ago and immediately started dog walking with her and later did basic training. At the moment, I work part-time from 1:00-6:30pm. My mornings are free during the week and I try to stay available for weekends. I am more likely to accept a new request with at least a week advanced notice, I will try to be flexible if that is not possible. In other pet owners home, I will make sure to follow any guided directions or precautions in order to ensure trust and safety in the home environment. In my home, I keep areas clean and free of anything harmful to dogs. I throw toys away that are damaged or could cause harm because of damage. I give lots of enrichment through feeding games, training inside and outside, and toys that allow her to use her brain! I make sure she eats well and drinks plenty of water while getting lots of outside time!
“Ericka did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Molly! This was my first time using Rover so I wasn't sure how it would go having a new person take care of her doing the drop-in visits, but she loved Ericka! I also really appreciated the notes and photo updates from each check-in. I will definitely be booking her again!”

“Ignacio did an amazing job! I have 6 pugs with very different personalities and they all loved him! He did a check in with them at my home while we were away and everything went great! He was attentive and paid close attention to detail. This was my first time using rover and I’m glad we got him to look over our beans. I will definitely be booking with him again”

“Michelle is an absolutely amazing sitter. Mia is happy to see her each time she comes and treats her with warm and kindness. A true dog lover here. She definitely goes the extra mile!!”

“Here’s a polished, friendly Rover review you can post: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five-Star Review for Analissa Analissa was amazing! She stepped in on short notice to take care of Max and Sophie, and the entire experience was smooth and stress-free. Everything went perfectly with no hiccups at all. She communicated consistently, kept me updated, and made sure the pups were comfortable and happy. I truly appreciate her reliability and professionalism. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: As a dog owner and someone who has been around dogs for as long as I can remember, I truly believe they are our best companions who stand by us through thick and thin. Their unconditional love and unwavering support bring us immense joy and comfort. My schedule works perfectly for me, as I have a day job that allows me to be available in the afternoons and evenings to spend time with some furry friends. I treat them as if they are more than just pets, ensuring they feel truly special by showering them with extra love and attention. I focus on creating a joyful experience, making sure they enjoy both my company and the services I provide.
“Monika is a wonder, stepping in last minute to watch my dogs after my original sitting plans fell through. She gave me peace of mind while I was on a work trip, coming through to take care of my dogs and even went above and beyond when one had an accident. Will certainly look to her in watching the pups again.”

About: My name is Alexis. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I have plenty of time to play with your puppy! I currently work part-time and have a lot of free time on my hands for the summer. I have a fenced yard and one older dog aged 13 years named William he’s a schnauzer a family dog and is very friendly .
“Micheal did an excellent job watching our 2 fur babies. He went above and beyond to ensure our dogs were comfortable and happy. He also sent lots of pictures and updates which I loved!”


About: I have taken care of my aunts dogs for years and her nieghbors dogs as well. I even taught one of the dogs to go outside meaning potty train. I am available weekends and weekday also. I take them walking and play fetch with them. They love it. I have three people beside my aunts who I dog sit for. The dogs love me and recognize me every time I come to their houses and I love taking care of them. They say that Dogs are a mans or women's best friend and it's true I think. So consider me taking care of your dogs. I take care of cats as well but mostly dogs. I can give meds to your Pets if need be. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pets between my two part time jobs or afterward thanks I can easily crate dogs if necessary in your home but only if you have them so please think of me with your drop in
About: I've loved animals since I was young, and any day I get to spend with an animal , especially a dog, is a good day. I currently have a Shiba Inu puppy of my own, and have had a border collie mix in the past. I've dog sitted for "difficult" and anxious dogs and always won them over! I'm working part time right now, and the schedule varies, but most days and times work for me! I'm very flexible and can help make things easy for you! I have a friendly Shiba Inu, a puppy playpen, an extra crate, and a dog safe space! Just let me know of any special requests and I can make it happen!
“Absolutely phenomenal sitters! If you want to feel reassured that your pets will be well-cared for- these are your people. I recieved photos and updates with each check-in, and my three pups were immediately comfortable with them when we did our meet and greet. They were also so kind and understanding when I got stuck on my trip and had to extend my booking. I could not recommend them enough, and I would absolutely take advantage of their services again in the future. Thank you both for taking care of my fur family!”

“We booked Nev last minute to drop in on our dogs, and I’m so happy we did! Nev even scheduled a meet and greet, taking time out of their day to make it happened. We are so happy with the care our puppies received.”

“Faith was the perfect sitter for Sebastian. He’s very shy around new people so knowing he came out of the bedroom while she was there was awesome to hear :)”

We emphasize and advocate for a peaceful environment, your animals comfort and stress levels are just as important to us as our own animals!

We work from home and prioritize a lifestyle that is anchored in peace, a regulated nervous system, and plenty of space to create, and play with our animals! They are an integral part of our lives. We have a fenced and secure yard, plenty of leashes, kennels and dog/cat transportation for walks/pick up, etc. depending on your wants and needs for your pet!
“JP is one of the sweetest and reliable sitter I have ever had. My little Precious really warmed up to and I couldn’t be happier. I will book him every time if he is available and I highly recommend him.”
