She even brought in the mail. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for the majority of my life. I have grown up with dogs as pets my entire life, ranging from small dogs to big dogs, and puppies to senior dogs. I have not only provided care for my own pets over the years, but my neighbors, friends, and family members have trusted me to take care of their pets as well. Some services I have vast experience in include dog walking, dog sitting, cat sitting, and more. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! My schedule every week varies, but I generally have open availability in mornings, mid day, and evenings. Safety is my number one priority when taking care of your pets. I understand that dogs are more than just pets, they are family, and I will do anything in order to protect and ensure the upmost comfort and enjoyment for your pets when they are under my care.
“Michael took care of our dog and cats while we were out of town and he did a great job! He was polite, punctual, and communicative. He sent many updates and photos, which we love! Would definitely recommend him and we plan to use him again!”
“Valerie was the best pet sitter we have had. She took great care of our 3 dogs and cat. Usually when we get back they are so relieved for us to be home but I think they missed Valerie which makes me happy. I would highly recommend her. Our dogs can be at times a little much and a little overwhelming, but she took care of them great.”
“Christina did a good job with my dog. She was responsive and checked for my expectations. She also was flexible to handle some meds admin that had to get added to the task list at the last minute. I would recommend her to others.”
“Marissa was a big stress, relief for dogs that have food, aggression. She followed all of our strict rolls to make sure the dogs didn’t get into any fights over their dinners and overall I think she did really well.”
“Ben did such a great job! Even my shy and less friendly cats grew to like him and be out and about the house when he was here. He sent me daily updates and some great photos. Truly the most relaxed I’ve been on a vacation recently, knowing my cats and my house were in such good hands.”
“Yolena did a wonderful job house sitting our two pups. The dogs were well taken care of, the house was in perfect condition and she communicated and sent pictures during the week. I would highly recommend Yolena and would hire her again. We appreciate her doing such a great job.”
“Couldn't be happier with Bri service! From the moment we met, it was clear they truly love dogs. My pups instantly felt comfortable with her and I could tell they were in good hands. Throughout the stay, Bri kept me updated with pictures and messages, showing how much fun Remi and Charlie were having. Whether it was walks, playtime, or cuddles, they were provided so much attention and care. I came home to a happy, well-exercised, and relaxed dogs, which made me feel so at ease while I was away. Bri was also very professional—punctual, easy to communicate with, and left everything clean and tidy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I could remember growing up. And now more recently I’ve started watching family and friends animals as well while they’re gone on short trips I love visiting them and playing with them when I get there! Im currently working part time so I plenty of time to make sure your fur babies are taken care of. During the week is more better for me but I am flexible to do weekends sometimes as well! Since I have a full house I would prefer to come to you. I love to go for walks and play outside with my dogs or when I’m watching someone else’s and I make sure I keep them on the same feeding schedule.
“Ella was excellent watching my 3 dogs. She stayed at my house while I was away. She spoiled my babies and they loved her. Highly recommend. She sent photos frequently and stayed in contact with me. When I arrived home there were fresh cut flowers and fresh eggs (She also watched chickens and ducks) i am thankful I found Ella. Thank you for doing a wonderful job.”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for all kinds of animals, which taught me responsibility, patience, and instinct. I provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I work a very flexible job that allows me to work from home when needed to take care of your pets during the day. I am free almost every evening and weekend. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and I take time to bond with each pet through play, attention, and calm companionship. I keep the home tidy, respect the space, and provide regular updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment.
“Petey was absolutely amazing with my two pups. He checked in with us multiple times a day and when one of our dogs wasn’t feeling well he did a wonderful job of taking care of her. He will definitely be our 1st choice dog sitter moving forward.”
“Angie is awesome! I just got home and found everything just as I had left it. And when I had to leave for vacation, my sweet girl wasn’t feeling the best. Angie took everything in stride and took such good care of my pup while I was gone. I absolutely would not hesitate to have her back.”

She not only loves animals but understands what they need as she has a dog herself. I couldn't recommend Lyndsey enough.”

Hillcrest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Our pet sitting experience with Yolena was perfect! She came over to meet our dogs in to go over their care before hand. Updated us with how they were doing while we were gone, and we came back to happy healthy dogs, and a house that was just as we had left it. My husband and I noticed that both of our dogs actually walk better on their leashes after their time with her! She is so sweet and kind and we cannot wait to book with her again and we know our dogs feel the same way!
