“Kara is a true dog lover. Our pups like her and seem comfortable around her. Kara was fairly flexible and straightened the house a bit while we were away. She sent adorable pictures and a video to us while we were away.”

“Justin took care of our poochers for a test night. Our one doggie takes a bit longer to warm up, and Justin was kind enough to do multiple meet and greets, and a test night. He's been patient, caring, and accommodating to get the furries comfortable. Couldn't recommend him enough!”

“Hannah was great! Played outside with tootsie a ton and gave her all the snuggles she demanded. Great communication while I was gone! Would definitely recommend Hannah!”


About: I’ve never been bitten. I grew up around strays and my family trusted me to walk them. I lead a volunteer group for The Humane Society, and I just love dogs! They help me deal with military life. I’m big into hiking, and I WILL carry a dog first aid kit XD. I go to School M-F from 8AM-2PM, and Church Sun 8AM-1PM. I need the money, but I do it mostly as a passion project! Very high drive dog friendly. I live in a one bedroom apartment across the street from a MASSIVE dog park. I’m huge into fitness and nature, and I will WALK your dog in nature if you want.
“Rebecca is great! My pups adore her. They are both on several medications and she is great at administering them. She also is quick to reply and sends pictures often. I trust her completely with my home and babies.”

“Abigail was incredible for my last minute request. She sent so many pictures, communicated clearly and frequently, and reassured me my girls were taken care of. I would recommend her for any pet sitting job!”

“Did a wonderful job house sitting for my 4 dogs! Was very responsive and sent pictures/videos for us. I felt like she was very reliable and followed all instructions I had for each of my dogs.”

“Kaci was great! My dogs loved her, and my two cats that don’t normally like each other cuddled up on her lap together. 🥺 so she definitely brings along good vibes. She sent lots of pictures of my babies and kept me updated with their care. Absolutely will ask her to watch them again.”

“Lindsay was so caring and thoughtful with our pets! It was clear they had a great time together. Lindsay was great about sharing updates and asking questions as needed. Thank you Lindsay!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I’ve had Oliver (frenchie) since he was a puppy, so I’m used to everything from training to daily routines. He requires allergy medication, which means I’m comfortable giving meds and paying close attention to a dog’s needs. I also frequently care for my family’s three dogs (two Frenchies and an English bulldog), so I’m great at handling multiple pups and making sure each one gets the attention they deserve. I’m currently working 3rd shift, so if you’re needing someone in the morning to let out your furry pet I can! Or if you want someone home all day with your pet, that works perfect for me as well! I can do walks during the days (after a little nap). I would say I’m pretty flexible if told ahead of time! I live in an apartment and do have a dog named Oliver. Oliver pretty much gets along with other dogs! If you’d rather your dog not be around another, I’d be more than willing to stay with your pets! My cousin would love watching my dog. I love meeting new fur babies and would love to help whenever I can with whatever you need!

About: I took care of my sister's dog for most of last summer and fall. I have developed strong dog-walking skills from this experience as she is quite the timid and confrontational dog. I have learned out to be extremely vigilant when walking a dog and I can read a dog's behavior as well as a human's at this point. My time management skills are par for the course and I have plenty of free time. I have plenty of free time – I have plenty of free time... there.. enough words. I have a fenced yard and beautful quiet neighborhood to walk your dog in. I can also learn the layout of any home and method for taking care of any dog by the standards of any owner within any home.
“Our pup and kitty LOVE Kaelin!! We’ve had her pet sit for the past 2 Christmas breaks and she’s been wonderful. Our dog is very high maintenance (kidney issues, IBS, and he’s blind) and it’s such a relief knowing he’s well taken care of while we’re away.”
“Maggie is a great sitter and love that she brings he dog for our very active healer mix to run around with. She’s great at communicating throughout and send great pictures! Will definitely use her again and again”

“Bansi took wonderful care of our two pups while my wife and I went away for a few days. We’ve only ever had close friends or family watch our pups for us, so we were a bit nervous trying to find someone through Rover who would spoil and care for them as much as we do, all on pretty short notice. Those nerves quickly went away from the minute we did the initial meet and greet with Bansi in person. From that point all the way until the moment she left our home, she was very professional and communicative with updates (and photos) throughout the weekend, making the process that much easier. We will definitely be booking with Bansi again the next time we need someone to take care of our pups, and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone you can trust to spoil your fur-babies while you’re away - you will not be disappointed! Thank you again, Bansi!”

“Rachael was prompt, professional, and a good communicator. She was sweet with my pup and shared lots of pics. This was my first experience with an in-house sitter and she made it great!”

“Cody did a great job trying to win over our three very anxious pups while we were away for a week. He was very patient with them and eventually convinced them he was a friend! Excellent job!”
