“Bobbi was the perfect companion to Mavis and June. Her experience with older dogs was important especially with Mavis who suffers from degenerative myopathy. She is kind, considerate and let us know how they were doing through her stay. it was a great experience for us and allowed us to relax while on vacation!”




2. Jennifer H.

“Jennifer was excellent! Our Stella is deaf and we treat her like our child. Jennifer went above and beyond with update texts, pictures and provided us such peace of mind. We will definitely be using Jennifer in the future!”


3. Cierra D.
“Cierra is great with animals of all types. I have know her many years and she has taken really good care of my pets. She is q very loving and nurturing person. She has a 4 year old daughter and she is an amazing mother. I would recommend her for anything I need when it comes to house sitting, or my dog and cat sitting. I would also recommend her for child sitting. She is really great with children.”


4. Erika H.

“We WILL be repeat customers after how well this weekend went! Erika was great with Mystic, communicating with us, and staying at our Apartment. She was super attentive to Mystic's quirks, too, as she is leash reactive to other dogs and tries to eat every stick and grass she can. Mystic had a great time and we had peace of mind. 5/5, Erika is an easy recommend to anyone else!”


5. Elena M.

“Elena took amazing care of our fur baby while we were away for a long weekend! Our dog adores her and she cleaned up our place so we had a nice space to come back home to.”

“House sat for us. She left the dog and the house in great condition!”




7. Katelyn S.
“Katelyn is a phenomenal dog sitter! I live in Louisiana and Katelyn has been watching my dogs for years. She loves dogs as much as she loves people. She grooms them for me, walks and feeds them. My dogs run to her when she walks in the door. Talk about a great response. From personal expletive I highly recommend and support Katelyn as a potential future dog sitter for Rover and any other services!”

9. Rachel H.
About: I love animals, pups and kitties especially, more than anything. Besides a gap due to the military, I’ve been taking professional care of furry family members as a vet tech at animal hospitals since 2016. I’ve met many different personalities, so anything your pet could need, I’ll do my best to serve them 🖤 I am available any day and time of the week. Currently I work remotely so it is easy for me to visit and hang out with your baby. I usually prefer to be at the clients home, due to a full house at my own. I like to stop by and hang out for a while, playing, chilling on the couch together, whatever the pets feeling! Besides that, I don’t need anything fancy.


10. Timothy H.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I grew up in a home with medium sized dogs and when I moved on my own, adopted 2 medium sized dogs. Met fiancée who had a large dog and fell in love with her dog. I helped her my dogs and hers to become friends. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, feeding them, and playing with them, bathing them. If they need to get somewhere, I have no issue with dogs riding in my car. I have raised my all of my dogs since they were 8 to 12 week old puppies. I have fully potty trained all of them on my own and would love to help your puppy on its path to properly becoming pretty trained. If you have any question on anything I can do for you and your dogs, please feel free to ask and I'll get back to you asap with a response. I currently work for food delivery apps with a 4.8 to 5 start trading on them all. Within my job schedule I can cost what goes I want to work. Because of this I'm very flexible to come help you with your dogs and take them for walks, drop in for a little play time, feed them, housesit your dogs as needed and help them out as needed. I have a fencedv yard and 2 dogs...a medium sized jug (Jack Russell/Pug Mix and a Black Lab mix) that would love to have some other dogs to play with. My dogs are very friendly. I have dog beds in front room and my bedroom fit the dogs to sleep on anytime they want. I let them roam the house as wanted too. When they have to go to the bathroom, they are trained to let me know. If they want to go play orv use bathroom outside in back yard... they will either go through their doggy door or to the back door to let us know. I'll go outside with them in the back and play with them after their potty break is done. If the go to front door, they are telling me they want to go for a walk.... so I grab their leashes and take them for a walk around our subdivision su they cash us the bathroom through the front of house while taking a walk. If they poo, I make sure to promptly clean it up.


11. Emily T.
“Emily is a first rate dog sitter. She has watched our dogs on overnight visits for well over a year now. Including some very lengthy trips. She is 100% punctual, has never canceled or not done what she said she would, which is crucial when it comes to allowing someone into your home to care for your fur babies. She clearly loves animals, plays with them lots and cuddles with them, and keeps up updated throughout our trip with pictures and videos. She comes when she says she is, does everything she is asked, and has no problem asking questions if need be, which is also important. We trust her implicitly and have loved knowing our dogs are in good hands with her.”




12. Marc D.

“Marc did an awesome job taking care of my two dogs. My dog Annie is always timid around men and she immediately warmed up to him! Both dogs were well fed, played with and well taken care of!”


13. Heather L.
About: I’ve had a deep love for dogs ever since I was a little girl, and that passion has only grown over the years. Whether big or small, I have developed a strong sense of patience and dedication when it comes to caring for our furry companions. Friends and family alike trust me with their pets, knowing they’ll receive the attention and care they deserve when they need a helping hand. I understand that we all need a break or an extra set of hands from time to time, and I’m here to offer support to both you and your beloved pets. I am available Monday through Thursday, from 8 AM to 5 PM, and currently have additional availability over the next couple of months. I am eager to keep myself busy during this time by providing dedicated care for furry friends. If you’re in need of reliable and compassionate support for your pets, I’d be happy to help! I have to pets of my own and a fenced back yard. If needed I can keep your pet in a crate :) Thank you!


14. Sheena A.

“I’m so impressed I almost can’t wait to need puppy/house sitters again. I don’t gush, but in this case I have to. Sheena and Liz played with the dogs several times during the day, stayed with them over night several nights in a row, loved them as if they were family and were exceptionally respectful of our home and personal spaces. They cleaned up after themselves as well as the dogs and communicated with us the entire time we were gone. I will absolutely call them next time we need sitters, and even to come walk and/or play with them when we are gone for too long. Totally well worth the price and more.”


15. adelyn l.
“Adelyn has grown up with animals all her life. She has participated in many rescues and volunteers for animals whenever she can. Her love and compassion for all animals has no boundaries. She treats each animal as her own and truly has a connection. You never have to worry about your fur baby when in her care it’s wonderful. I highly recommend her.”


16. Grace D.
“Grace has and continues to be a lover and caretaker of nature, and all that includes. She sees one's pets as family, and rightly so. Her genuinely kind spirit and her warm personality set her apart from many. With a strong work ethic, she is capable and reliable. More importantly, Grace is intuitive, especially with our 4-legged loved ones. She can gauge a situation, and handle it appropriately. She can be engaging and fun, still providing caution and safety. So, why do I recommend Grace? Not just her intellect and abilities - I recommend grace for her heart...”


17. Julien M.
About: I recently had my Black lab pass in june 2022 I would love to pet sit any animal. It makes my day just to be around them I sometimes have to let my friends dogs usually 1-2 times a week. I let him out, walk him, and feed him when i visit him. I love to play with animals and i’m very good with big animals. I love to play catch with them, feed them, pet them, and bundle up with them, also spoiling them is amazing


18. Tori P.

“Tori took great care of our fur babies in our home!! She kept us updated giving us reassurance that our pups were well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely use her again.”


19. Keyli E.
“Keyli was amazing ! She took such a great care to our dog Sally. It was a last minute trip, and she said yes right away.”


20. Lance S.
About: Apart from having worked for a local shelter for about 6 months, I've spent the last year and a half within veterinary emergency medicine and am well informed and familiar in canine and feline care. This includes basic care ( walking, feeding ) to medications and senior care, or even care for puppies/kittens. I'm always more than happy to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, clean and well taken care of <3 Currently I am working full time, but I am normally available for pet care on Mondays and Tuesday ( depending ) and alternating weekends. Sometimes I may also be available in the late mornings Wednesday thru Friday, though this is dependent. I will tend to stick to routines that owners may already have, including feeding, walking and medication schedules. This includes if certain pets may need more space or extra care and attention.
