“Casie stayed at our house for a week when we were out of town. She did a great job! Since this was my first time using Rover, Casie lead the way & did a great job! She came ahead of our reservation for a meet & greet which was a great idea! Casie sent pictures through the week. We loved being able to see our pets while we were away! The entire experience was so smooth & easy. Thanks to Casie for taking care of our pets!”
“We greatly appreciated Livana staying with our Tank. He was so happy to go on walks and play with his toys while we were away. Livana took great care of him. She sent us updates and pictures the entire time and we couldn’t thank her enough.”
“Jocelyn went above and beyond my expectations. I will recommend her and use her over and over again for my pet sitting I couldn’t have asked for a more caring attentive person to come into my home 🐶🩷🐶”
About: i have taken care of animals all my life from dogs, cats, lizards, and birds i will make your animal feel loved just like if it was my own pet im currently working part time at a dog grooming place so im not busy so i have time to walk and take care of your animals when needed. i have a huge yard for my six dogs where we go out when it’s nice out to play ball and run to get some energy out of them and we have a separate room for their crates so when we leave we put them in crates so they don’t get into anything
About: 10 years experience is just how long since I’ve started getting paid to Pet Sit but my experience goes back since a child with our family pets, then my own little family as an adult always included our pets. I have experience with puppies and elderly doggies. I am currently not working so very open and flexible to all days and times. I plan to do Pet sitting/care part-time at first but am hoping it works out to be able to do more on a full-time basis. At this time I am not open to Pet sitting in my home as my apartment is small and I live with my teenage son and his dog lives with us who is territorial.
“Vickie is awesome! From the first meet and greet my girls loved her . Sammie and Sasha don’t really pay attention to people that come to our house, but they took to Vickie from the first meeting and that is the reason we hired her to stay with our fur babies. She kept us updated throughout our whole time we were gone and let us know how things were going every day. She even washed and remade the bed so I didn’t have to do that when we got back! That was an unexpected surprise and very much appreciated! We will have Vickie sit for us again! She’s the best!”
“Rachel was amazing! This was a very last minute request and she accommodated and was very flexible. She took amazing care of my pup and kept me well informed and updated with photos, even though I didn't have service and kept getting them at weird times it was great seeing my baby boy and know he was doing good when I did. I would absolutely recommend and use Rachel again!!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I have experience bathing, walking and grooming. I would take care of your animal like they were my own. I work full time. I could let out pets before work, on lunch and after work. Stay at my house during the day and I also could do overnights on Fridays. I have 2 small dogs (Yorkie and Chichi) I also have a crate available if you prefer this for when I am not home during the day. I do have an older child who would be home in the afternoon so your dog wouldn't be crated all day.
“Hilary, thank you for adopting our pets as your own while we were away for two weeks! We missed our many pets, but were so grateful to know you were thoughtfully and lovingly caring for our motley crew of fur babies (as well as some fish and house plants). The peace of mind was a true gift, and we appreciate you so much!”
About: I enjoy taking care of all animals and won't turn one away if I can help. I've taken care of dogs for over 20 years, a senior dog for 6+ years, administrating medicine, cleaning up messes, assisting getting around the house; cats for 10 years, ferrets, old and senior, for 12 years, and chinchillas for about 8 years. I also have experience with Guinea pigs. I follow instructions, I'm never late, and will go the extra mile to ensure your pet is getting the best service I can provide. Caring for or tending to your pet would have priority over anything else, and will be taken as seriously as I would as "normal job". I feed, bath, prepare and administer medication, clean up messes, litter boxes, and puppy pads; also know how to ensure your home is safe for your animals, like moving thing to higher places, block/gate off dangerous areas, restricting them to safe/play zones (if needed) within the house, have a variety of toys for them to keep entertained and play with them myself.

Brook-lynn B.
“Brook-Lynn is an animal lover, she’s caring and compassionate, loves spending time with any animal she comes in contact with. She is aspiring to become a vet she starts classes in the fall for that. She also works at a grooming business and loves every minute of it. Every time she sees an animal her eyes light up and puts the biggest smile on her face. I have 6 dogs that just adore her and love when she comes over and plays and walks them.”
Lori C.
“Lori pet sits my 3 year old yorkie/jack russel Minnie when I go away for a day or 2 or she stops in when I have long work days. She walks Minnie and takes her on outing occasionally to play with other dogs. Minnie loves her more than me sometimes. I think it’s the treats and occasional Brusters trips. Lol”
