4. Connor M.
“Connor has been watching my cats for 2+ years and I have nothing but positive things to say about the care she gives my girls. Her genuine love for animals shows through her actions with my babies. She always sends me pictures, makes sure she keeps me updated throughout our time away, and genuinely enjoys spending quality time with them. I fully trust her to watch my kitties and it’s an extra bonus that she’s willing to stay at our house with our girls. I can’t recommend her enough if you want to know your fur babies are taken care of while you are away!”


5. Marlon N.
“I’m delighted to recommend Marlon for any pet care role. They’ve been fantastic with my own dog, a corgi, showing a real knack for understanding and meeting his needs. Marlon has a natural way with animals and brings a lot of care and attention to their work. Their ability to connect with pets and provide them with the care they need is truly impressive. I’m confident they’ll bring the same dedication and skill to any position involving dog and cat care.”

11. Janette F.
About: I will be graduating with a Masters in Biology. I know a lot about animals and can handle whatever breed you throw at me, big or small. I have two fur babies of my own and would love to care for yours. I love being outdoors and active so your pet will have lots of exercise. I am a full-time student online. Your pet wouldn’t have to be in a cage at all because I am home all day! Willing to pick up and drop off. I am clean and detail-oriented. I have a personal vehicle to drive to and from your home. I can haul your pets to the local dog park, vet, or somewhere to go exploring!


12. Lucie G.
About: For as long as I could remember I’ve been my family’s go-to pet sitter. Anytime my Grandmother had a doctors appointment or my Aunt and Uncle left town, I would be their first choice. I love animals and caring for them, making them comfortable when their families are gone is not an easy task but easing their anxiety and keeping them comfortable is a very rewarding job. I’ve worked with rover in the past when I was in high school and it was a very rewarding experience. I am currently working part time but my schedule is relatively flexible. As far as boarding goes there is and will always be someone at the house caring for the dogs 24/7. I have a large plot of land adjacent to my house for the puppies to play in. I currently have three very friendly small dogs who love to play and make friends.


13. Sadie L.

“Sadie took great care of my pups! Hopefully we can book her again in the near future!”
