1. Sarah M.
“Sarah is always so attentive and my dogs love her! She was able to accommodate giving my dog eye drops when this came up as a temporary new need which was very helpful. She pays close attention when my dog was tiring out and needing a shorter walk while going through a health issue as well. I feel so much better leaving because I know my dogs are in good hands”
2. Kristin P.
“Would absolutely work with Kristen again. She took such good care of my babies. She cared for my elderly cat with medicine. I so appreciate her care and patience with my animals. I'd give more stars if I could!”
3. Marcia S.
“Marcia did a fabulous job looking after our 5 doggies when we went out of town!! At the last minute our flight was cancelled and she offered to stay and help us out even though it wasn’t planned. She was not about to leave our babies alone. Thanks so much Marcia! We will be contacting you again in the future!”
4. Jennifer P.
“Jennifer has been outstanding sitter for my two little Calicos Tiny and Mini! She goes above an beyond in providing them care, cleaning up after their messes, and takes the time to interact with Mini who is quite skiddish. She’s been our trusted sitter since Fall 2019 and I can’t wait to have her back with us! Thanks Jennifer!!”

“Molly was so chill when we got home yesterday. She definitely enjoyed Zack's visits and potty breaks. So happy to have Zack watch our girl! 🥰”
6. Sergio & Shannon D.
“Shannon and Sergio have the time, energy and love to share with your pet. Caring for dogs has always been a common passion they share. They currently have two fur babies of their own, including a senior dog they recently adopted. They diligently love and care for their dog’s health and well-being, which makes them the perfect candidates as dog sitters for Rover.com. I know they will treat and care for every dog as if they were their own.”
7. Kylie C.
“Kylie is a very responsible and reliable human being. She is accountable for her actions and makes an effort to do whatever she does to the highest of standards. In addition to these qualities, she also has extensive experience working with dogs due to working in a dog kennel. In my opinion, Kylie is the perfect person to care for your dog with love, patience, and kindness.”
8. Lauren T.
“Lauren did a great job looking after our Gordo this weekend! He got lots of TLC and seems quite tuckered out from all of the fun they had together!”

About: I’ve loved animals since I can remember. I am full time online veterinary technician school, white working in a vet clinic. I also work as a veterinary assistant at a vet clinic. I have six pets three rabbits who live in a separate room, two cats, and one dog. I have a big heart for animals in need and animal rights so when possible I try help re-home animals in need of a different environment and a more suitable life. My first priority when watching a pet is making sure all their needs are met and they are as relaxed and comfortable as possible. If they’re happy I’m happy. . . . I currently work full time, 4 10 hour days. I am able to stop in before and after work and if close enough I can stop in during my lunch break. I live in the lower half of a house three bedroom with an unfenced yard. All my pets are friendly, house broken, and my dog is trained.

“Nina is great! She spent quality play time with our kitties while we were out of town and kept up with food, water, liter, ect. We will certainly book with her for our next trip. Thanks Nina!”
11. Nikki B.
“Nikki was awesome! I love that she wanted to meet my cat first to make sure it was a good match for both of them. She was very knowledgeable about how to interact with my cat. During the drop-in visits, she took care to read the instructions I left and use the information to interact with my cat, including brushing him which he always enjoys. She left detailed report cards. I will 100% be a repeat customer! Thank you for taking such good care of my cat while I was away, Nikki!”
12. Hayley V.
“Hayley is amazing! I recommend her wholeheartedly. She takes amazing care of my cats, and they are happy to see her every time she comes! I even confused the dates when I booked her, and she was still able to come and help me out on a day I hadn't included. She's wonderful!!”
