“Sarah was absolutely fantastic. My dog is extremely shy and she took the time to get to know Weller and make him as comfortable as possible. Sarah was also incredibly attentive and noticed Weller’s ear irritation which I’m so thankful for. This has been my first experience with Rover and Sarah is definitely my go to now!”


“Elyssa was great with both of my kitties! One is very social, the other is not, and they both loved her! Such a relief to know my pets are taken care of while away. Will definitely book Elyssa in the future!”


About: I’ve had a pup in my household my whole life and I began walking and dog sitting for others in 2020. I have taken classes on pet and animal CPR. I am very caring and will taken great and extra care of your animal! Currently working a part time job and I am about to start a second one. I’m available for your pets in the mornings and early afternoons on weekdays with the possibility on weekends depending on work. On days that I am off I can accommodate multiple walks and/ or check ins. I have a medium sized dog who’s 2 years old at home, as well as a small 15lb pup. I listen well to instructions and take precautions if needed. I do not offer services for your dog to come to my home, however I will care for your dogs with the same quality.

“Kiley was fantastic with our dogs! She was consistent with checking on them in the time frame requested, did a great job letting us know if there were any questions that came up, and gave helpful updates with each check-in.”


“Saraelizabeth was absolutely amazing with both our dog and cat! She always worked out ways to keep them engaged even if the weather was bad and even got our grumpy elderly cat to come up and love on her and play with her so she is a total cat whisperer. Even all the crazy energy our dog has didn’t deter her and we are so happy we trusted her with our pets while we were on vacation.”


“Allison took a great care of my 3 cats, while I was on a long vacation overseas. I came home to healthy and happy cats. She feed them well, had a lot play time, and cleaned their litter box. She is a very responsible and trusted person. I would highly recommend Allison as a pet sitter!”


“Kaylee made going out of town so much less stressful knowing my babies would be well taken care of! She provided photos everyday and I really loved hearing her in depth updates on how they were doing. I absolutely would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m reliable, gentle, and pay close attention to your pet’s needs. I have experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra care and patience. Whether it’s giving meds, keeping a consistent routine, or just offering lots of snuggles, I’m here to make your pet feel safe and loved while you’re away!! I'm a junior in college with a very flexible schedule, and I’m home often and have plenty of free time during breaks. I love being active and outdoors, so walks and playtime are a fun part of my day.

About: Hi! I’m Raegan - professional belly-rubber, treat dispenser, and adventure buddy for your fur baby. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your BFF. Whether they love long walks, tug-of-war, or cozy nap sessions, I’ve got it covered. I’ve got experience with all kinds of pups - high energy, shy, sassy, or seniors - and I tailor each visit to make your dog feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled (in the best way). I also know how important consistency is when it comes to training, and I know how quickly they can get off track. I’m happy to discuss and follow any and all expectations while I’m with your pup so they don’t lose any progress while you’re away. I can promise your baby will have plenty of potty breaks and long walks, and I also have a large gated porch that they’ll be able to play their hearts out off-leash. I’ll always make sure to send updates, photos, and a little note about our time together so your time away from them can be as stress free as possible. I can’t wait to meet your pup! ❤︎ I recently lost my soul dog, Mello, so I have a lot of room in my house and heart to love on your pup(s)! I do work full-time, but my office is less than 10 minutes from home so I can provide multiple potty breaks even on work days. If we're hanging at my house, I have a large covered porch for the pup(s) to play on as much as they want. I also have the space to let them relax in their crate if you want to leave their crate with me. I also live in Southside which is the perfect area for long, enriching walks so we will get plenty of exercise!
