“I have only great things to say about Amie. We had never left Pickles with anyone other than his grandparents before and he can be iffy about who he trusts but immediately took a liking to Amie. After our first meeting I knew he would be so well looked after in her care. She is so responsive and sent lots of photos so I always knew he was doing alright. I seriously cannot speak more highly of her. She went above and beyond to make sure Pickles felt as loved as possible while we were away and she was so respectful of our home. If we ever need a pet sitter again I can’t see going with anyone else.”
“I have used this app throughout the years and Nicholas is by far THE BEST! He is reliable, on time, communicates very well and leaves no trace. As a matter of fact, he left our place looking better than it was when we went away. Most importantly, our dog and cat were calm and happy - they were definitely in good hands. We recommend Nicholas and hope he is available for our family again in the future.”
“Lillie stayed with my two dogs in our home for 10 days . She came over to meet them and again right before we left . Her communication prior to us leaving and while we were gone ,was awesome. She also accommodated big changes to our plans . The dogs did great and she sent pictures which made me happy ! This is my first experience with Rover and leaving someone I had just met with "my kids". Lillie did a great job. I would recommend her and will use her again .”
About: With years of experience competing in dog shows, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior to every walk and sitting session. A lifelong animal lover, I’ve been around both cats and dogs since I was seven. Trust me to provide expert care and companionship for your furry friends. I’m currently working part-time. My Sunday and Mondays are always open and the rest of the week I am available after 2pm. I can also be very flexible if given early notice. I will care for your pets as if they’re my own. All instructions given to me will be strictly adhered to. My top priority is making sure your pet stays happy and healthy throughout each service.
“This was my first experience with Rover. I have extreme anxiety about leaving my dog with ANYONE, much less a ‘stranger.’ Kat eased my worries from the very first conversation & offered to meet Luna and me at our convenience before her stay. I immediately felt better after we met and knew my girl would be in good and safe hands! Kat followed our instructions perfectly and clarified with questions when needed. She sent tons of photos and videos while we were on our trip, and she even took our girl on a fun walk at a nature trail! Our home was perfectly kept and respected. I was so relieved to have had such a great experience because I know not everyone has been so lucky. It can be hard to trust your baby with others, but I will continue to trust Kat with my dog when I need a sitter, and you should, too!”
About: I had a cat growing up but the last 5 years I have had two large, fluffy mainecoon cats that’s are my whole word but at every high maintenance! I would be able to check on dogs and cats after early in the morning it or after work ends for me around 4:00. I have most Friday’s off so I have flexible, long weekends! My own animals are not outdoor cats but we have collars with trackers in case they ever run outside! But luckily they never have 😄 We are very careful about not leaving food out that’s toxic for them to eat like chocolate 🍫

About: I've been an animal lover all my life! Started sitting for family members and fell in love with the opportunity to help others with furbabies. I'm currently available every day needed to care for your furbabies. It's easy to work around any of my appointments or errands I need to do. I care for your pet/pets in your home, where the pets are more comfortable. So many have separation anxiety and worsens when in strange place. I had a very bad experience after boarding my German Shepherd for a week. I come close to losing her as she became extremely ill and the care takers didn't recognize what the issue was. I now know it was separation anxiety.

Rachell P.
“Rachell watched our 3 dogs when we visited family in Kentucky. Only asked her to let em out a few times a day to potty and eat but she went above our expectations and played with them, was very attentive and gave us a breakdown of their moods and behavior while we were away. So lucky to have her nearby (Rachell is noticeably an avid animal lover). Though I did get a little jealous when the dogs weren't overly excited when we got home. They definitely hadn't been starved for attention!”
Cadance M.
“We have had Cadance watch our pets while we travel a couples times and our dogs and cat love her! She always takes good care of them and takes them on walks. Sometimes it feels like they like her better than us, lol. I would highly recommend her for watching your small family members.”
Mackenzie V.
“Did a fantastic job sitting for my dogs Missy and Zena. Even went beyond and fed the chickens too. Would highly recommend”
Sharolyn H.
“We have tried several petsitters and have experienced the gamut of minor disappointment to full-blown disasters. We were very nervous to try yet another sitter but a friend referred us to Sharolyn, who has been a dream for us for over a year. Not only does she love our dogs like they're her own, they love her!! We never feel guilty about leaving them. Sharolyn takes the best care of them -- she watches them when they go outside even though the yard is fenced in, and lets them all sleep with her. She's super affectionate with them, friendly and communicative with us, and honestly we don't know what we would do without her! Our house is always cleaner than we left it, and the bed is remade with fresh sheets. Sharolyn has been there for us for many emergencies and short-notice requests, even for multi-day overnights with little notice. There simply isn't a better petsitter out there!”
