“Rachelle was able to come pretty last minute and did a great job. She sent me multiple pictures of Mokey each day and was very reliable. I would absolutely book her again to watch Mokey.”
“You can depend on Mallory to take good care of your pet! I contacted her 24 hours in advance and she was able to stop by and take my sweet pup for a quick walk on a day that I needed to be out of town. Will definitely book again.”

About: Hello, my name is Faith and I have had pets in my home my entire life. I know how to administer medications, First aid, CPR, Bottle feeding, and I used to work at a wildlife rehabilitation center. I have rescued several animals in terrible shape when I found them and nursed them back to health, so I have plenty of experience when it comes to that if your pet needs some extra care. I have one dog, four cats, and a lizard and home and would love to get to know your pets as well. I am currently working a full-time job starting at 6am but I would be happy to stop by before then on week days if you’re alright with me being there early! I can take them for walks, feed them and administer medications. If you want I could even take them to a local trail and hike with them so they can get away from the house. I work full time Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Saturday starting at 1am and ending by noon at the latest. I can care for your pets after work all the way until I go to sleep that night. I would treat your pet as my own. I don’t mind if your pet needs extra care such as medications or if there is an injury I need to be aware of. Your pet and their health and safety would be my number one priority.
“Ashlyn was great! My bloodhound is a picky and temperamental girl but she was at instant ease with her. I came home to everything in one piece and all my babies happy and healthy. I will definitely be using Ashlyn for the foreseeable future! :)”
“Ashley made a couple drop in visits for me. She was easy going, and did well with my dogs. She seems very trustworthy and efficient. This was the first Rover visit, and I was very pleased.”
About: I love caring for pets. I have the most experience with very small dogs. This includes puppy training and also taking care of frail senior dogs. I have had two yorkies in the past that I have trained and professionally competed with. I also have experience in house sitting and would happily do any small takes you might need including watering plants, throwing laundry in the dryer, washing dishes, etc. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am rarely in a rush and would happily spend time with your pet if you desire. Helicopter fur-parent...that's me. I prefer to be with pets in the same space so we can keep each other company. If you pet isn't affectionate I can understand that, but I love giving them love if they like. Pet's that I'm boarding have to be hypoallergenic.
“Laszlo did an amazing job taking care of my bulldog pup Maggie (in profile picture) and I would absolutely hire him to watch her again, or to watch any of my future animals. He sent me many pictures of her and she definitely had a great time with him -- he even spent longer with her than he technically had to and his wife played with her as well. She was a little sick at the time, on an antibiotic, and he kept a great eye on her health and had no problem with giving her her medication on schedule, etc. This was my first experience using Rover and I'm glad that I found Laszlo with it. Highly recommended.”
About: I have taken care of several types of dogs since I was little. I grew up in the country and helped take care of my neighbors dogs and animals whenever I could. I have watched my friends pets before and respected any care methods they have. I took care of puppies and dogs pretty much my whole life. I trained puppies and always pay attention to body language and behavior. I work every other weekend currently at a motorcycle range. My week days are free and so are my nights. I take online classes right now since it is the summer semester. I have my own cat so I keep his space clean and tidy. I feed him on a set schedule and make sure he has plenty of space for his zoomies and play time. He is a single cat and likes it that way. For client’s homes, I will follow any and all instructions for their pet and keep their home tidy and keep their pets clean as well, including litter boxes, food spills, etc.

Colby H.
“Colby is amazing! She goes above and beyond for my fur baby and I never have to worry. I cannot say good enough things about her.”
Olivia K.
“I cannot say enough about the care that our dogs, Ron & Gracie receive from Olivia! They are always well fed, walked, and played with every time we leave home. I have received texts and pictures while we have been gone updating me on their activities. I can honestly say that I do not worry about our 4 legged children at all while we are gone. In addition, my neighbors have confirmed this for me because they have told me that they see Olivia at our home playing in the back yard with them and they see then out and about on their daily walks! It is so nice to be able to leave Gracie & Ron and know that they are loved and well taken care of when we cannot be with them.”
