“Hired Kelly to see how petting would work for a trip in the future. Kelly was super friendly. Came for a quick house tour during the week and watched our pets on that Friday. She got here right when we asked. Feed and hung out with the dogs. Sent photos. Will hire again”


2. Theresa H.

“We absolutely loved having Theresa as a sitter! She was great with our girls and they loved her. They can be finicky dogs and they felt comfortable with her from the start with snuggles on the first day. She was very attentive with lots of feedback that enabled us to enjoy our vacation because we knew our girls were well taken care of.”

12. Brogan A.

“We couldn't be happier with Brogan! We were away for a long weekend and she looked after our dog, Darla. Brogan sent us lots of pictures, texts, and info on how they were all getting along. It definitely made me feel little to no concern about how things were going back home and I was able to enjoy my trip. Darla is a reactive dog and strong as well. Brogan worked so well with her on the leash and wasn't at all uncomfortable. Lots of communication before we left as well and totally responsible with the house. We're already hoping to book her again! 15 stars!! ☺️”

14. Krysta C.

“Krysta is so sweet. Both my dog and my cat absolutely adored her and she made sure to keep us updated while my husband and I were out of town, sending us lots of pictures, which put both of our minds at ease. Our dog was having some separation anxiety issues and Krysta was so great. She let us know what was going on and found a way to help my dog calm down. Both pets were well cared for and I would love to have Krysta care for them again.”


15. Megan T.


“Megan was fantastic with our pups! She was great at communicating and we would definitely recommend her!”

She is a great communicator and is very reliable. She is fun loving and caring. She exemplifies these things in the human world all the time and your pet will have the same experience! I would trust Ronelle to care for my pet-child any time :)”


17. Krystal R.
“I can’t recommend Krystal enough as a dog sitter and caregiver! She is such a natural connection with animals and it’s clear how much she loves and respects them. I’ve seen firsthand how she goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for. Whether it’s playing with them, taking them on walks, or making sure they’re comfortable at all times, she always shows so much attention to detail. You can tell she genuinely cares about the well-being of every pet they look after. If you want someone who’s trustworthy, reliable, and treats your furry friend like family, Krystal is your go-to girl!”


18. Nikki C.

“Nikki came and stayed with our pups for a week while we were out of town. It was a 10/10 experience. She went the extra mile and took care of my fur babies as her own while we were gone. I couldn’t recommend her more. ♥️”


19. Kelsi D.
About: I am currently obtaining my masters degree in counseling from McKendree University with hopes to be a play therapist. I am also a collegiate cheerleader at the school. I have been working at Highland Primary for 3 years, as well as teaching private swim lessons for around 10 years now. I have had my own beagle named Bella for 10 years! I am very flexible with scheduling which gives me a lot of time to be able to come play with your dogs. I have volunteered at the local animal shelter in my hometown and have had lots of experience pet sitting. I’ve had dogs around my whole life and I would love to be able to play with yours!! Between the craziness, I do have flexibility during the week! Most evenings, weekends, and some mornings I am looking to care for your pet! I would love to help you out! I have a big yard that may have to be shared with my friendly beagle! I would love to be able to take your dog to the park, and if they are willing have a play date with Miss Bella! I would prefer to visit in your home for the comfort of the dog, but my door will be open if needed.


20. Kassandra O.
About: I've always pet sat for my friends and family. I started when I was in high school. I sincerely just love animals and it makes me happy to help others being around pets. I just do Doordashing in my free time. So I can work the two apps around each other! I started Rover last year but stopped to try other things instead and take care of my health more. I'm currently down 110lbs and ready to take care of your beautiful animals! I have my two cats right now. I'm also the one my friends and family always ask to take care of their pets when on vacation. I'm the type of person to stop and move the turtle out of the road or help a lost dog find it's way back home.
