I highly recommend her!”

About: I have been caring for cats and dogs all my life. I have cared for young, adult, and senior animals and care for their needs. I work a full-time, remote job that provides me with the flexibility to be attentive and care for your animals whenever and wherever possible, ensuring their well-being at all times. While I home sit, I will be able to provide and care for your animals to ensure they are spoiled and loved in the environment they are most comfortable.

“Jessica has cared for our animals in the past with love and compassion. It is clear that Jessica enjoys spending time with animals and gives extra care for those who have special needs (anxiety, medications, etc).

Overall we have been very happy with her caring for our animals and would certainly use her in the future and would recommend her to others!”

14. Leah D.
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of different dogs. Parents, friends and family have asked me to care for them while they’re gone. My childhood dog was boxer so have a lot of experience with that breed and I have a pit bull terrier of my own. I am currently home full time, so I’ll have a lot of free time to play and care for your fur babies. Considering I have lots of free time having a dog or a couple dogs to care for isn’t a problem for! I love all animals and treat them like my own! I have a partially fenced yard and a long 100+ ft chain that I could clip onto your dogs collar so they can roam around without getting lose/ running away, they will have their own food and water bowls and be taken out as needed. If your dog needs to be in a crate I have two at home that I could use. I also have a pup of my own that your dog can play with.


15. Jerrad P.

“Jerrad is the absolute best. I truly have no words to describe how lucky I am to have met him through Rover. He is so caring and loving to my little dog. He is extremely reliable and understandable about unexpected situations. He will go an extra mile to make sure your pet is happy. My pup gets so excited when he sees him, it’s adorable! A million star review!!”


16. Jazmyn H.
“Jazmyn has taken care of my cats since I got them (11 weeks old - 20 months old), and my sweet kitty before them. She always goes the extra step to be sure she is providing enough play time, as well as love, while maintaining their strict feeding schedule. As a pet parent to a senior cat, she knows how important it is to connect with the animals, befriend them and make them feel safe. She has worked as a groomer’s assistant, so she also has vast experience with dogs of all sizes. I love to call her the pet whisperer, because I have yet to meet an animal that hasn’t fallen completely in love with her and vice versa.”


17. Sarah S.
“Sarah has been excellent in caring for either family pets up to large agricultural animals. She is punctual with any given schedule and ensures animals are safe at all times. Sarah keeps a very clean environment, so you can always rely on her to leave your home spotless when leaving. You can be confident that your pet will be in good hands using Sarah’s services.”


18. Rachel C.
“Taking care of someone's pet can be a weighty responsibility. After all, most pet owners view them as family. Rachel is dedicated to the health and well being of all animals. She is honest, trustworthy, and will treat your pet with the same love and kindness that you would expect from a family member.”


19. Heather A.

“Heather did a wonderful job doing daily drop in visits for my two cats. She sent pictures and videos daily, and followed all of the instructions I left. I was able to relax knowing that my cats were being taken care of by someone who truly cares about animals. I highly recommend Heather!”




20. Ashley D.
“Ashley is a very loving dog caregiver. She loves animals and treats them better than most people. She is very responsible and will take care of any animal to the best of her ability. She has taken care of animals and dogs her entire life and would make one of the best dog caregivers. I would definitely trust her with my own animals any day of the week.”
