“April was a very reliable and kind pet sitter. My cat is blind and by the pictures I was sent I am sure that he was in good hands. She went above an beyond checking in on him and my house. I would definitely recommend April as a pet sitter and I know I will be contacting her again!”

About: I’ve had a furry friend my entire life, and have looked after animals that need immediate or intense care, or are in need of a home for 12 years. I work from home and am able to take breaks as needed to care for pets. I have most things delivered and rarely leave home for more than an hour at a time. I have a fenced in 1/2 acre backyard where pets can run around and play! I live in a low traffic area making it ideal for taking walks.
“Very trustworthy. I have used Veronica 2x and both times things worked out great.”
“Breanna was awesome taking care of my two kitties. She sent updates with amazing pictures, that had me less anxious about leaving my kitties at home while I was on vacation!”
“Libby was a God send. We are so thankful for finding her on Rover. We have been worried for a long time about finding the right sitter for our Archie dog and Libby is the perfect person. I can’t wait to use her again! We were lucky enough to have another sitter turn us down and then we found Libby. Our Meet and Greet was as smooth as possible. When my husband made a mistake on the date and Libby showed up when she was not needed, she graciously came back the next day at the correct time. We couldn’t have asked for anything more for our dog, who happens to require a little extra attention. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Libby!”
“Christine made us feel sooo secure and relieved while leaving our kitty alone for the day. Great communication and efforts. Much appreciated.”
“Rodney was great. He came to greet my pups ahead of the service date. He sent me pics throughout his visits and my pups were content and seemed happy when we got home. We will request Todney again.”
About: My whole life my parents have had dogs so I’ve grown up around dogs since I was an infant, this also means that they’ve had quite a few different puppies over the years and I have helped train them. I am the go to person for all of my friends and family. If they need someone to watch their pets while they’re gone I absolutely love seeing their animals and taking care of them and I treat everyone’s animals as if they’re my own and do the things that I would want others to do for my pets. During the school year, I work as a teaching assistant at an elementary school. This means that my summers are very open and free to watch others pets and give them plenty of love and attention. I care for pets in others homes as if they were my own pet, I will make sure to play with them and feed them and get them outside, but also just cuddle them if they like that and give them the space if they also would prefer that.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was ten years old. Walking, feeding, paying, and bathing dogs of all breeds. You can count on me to make sure your dogs and cats are well taken care of. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your fur family! We will play, get in plenty of walks, and enjoy our time together. I am fully confident in my ability to keep your pets safe, happy, and engaged. I am very respectful of boundaries and will do my absolute best to make sure your pet has a great and comfortable time.
About: I’m knowledgeable in breed-specific needs and maintain consistency to keep them mentally and physically happy! I have previously taken dog behavior courses and am familiar with dog body language. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and ages! No dog is “too much!” I am comfortable with administering medications and providing grooming for long haired/high maintenance breeds. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs so I am comfortable handling all ages. I have a full-time job but am more than happy to fit time in to take care of your lovely fur baby. My typical shift is 8:00-4:30pm M-F. I have open availability on weekends to provide housesitting! If you are looking for constant care (pet cannot be left alone for 4 hours or more), I am happy to provide that however, I do charge a constant care rate if during the work week as I will need to take those days off and I will need to recoup lost salary. For constant care pets, I do require at least a month’s notice ahead of time so I can get that time off to accommodate. I will never take a sit if my work schedule cannot accommodate it—your pet’s care and safety is extremely important to me. I will work with you to decide if I am the right fit for your pet’s needs and routine. Nothing is worse than upsetting your pet’s routine and comfortability! I now offer drop-visits as well! This is great for people who might need someone to check in your fur baby a couple times a day but does not need around-the-clock needs. I am happy to drop in before work (8am) and can drop by after work! If you’re someone who works longer shifts, this is perfect for you! I am comfortable crating your pet if requested but they are also more than welcome to share a bed with me if they are used to sleeping with you! If you have an unfenced yard, I will keep them on leash at all times. If you have a fenced yard, I will stay out and monitor them until they are ready to come inside. Doors will be locked at all times whether I am in the home with your pet or if I’m at work. If you have any home-alarm systems, I will use them as well.
“Highly recommend Anne! She is reliable, caring and responsible. It was a pleasure working with her and I will definitely ask for her help in the future!”
“Very happy with how well Rachel took care of our boys while we were away from home! We look forward to another booking. The peace of mind knowing our pets are well cared for while away is priceless. Thanks!”
About: I have always had cats and dogs. As an adult, I have adopted multiple senior dogs and let them live out their last months and years in a calm, loving home. At gatherings, I’m the person who can usually be found holding the host’s cat or playing with their dog. I love everything about caring for pets and thought this would be a great thing to do in my spare time. As a teacher, I have a nice regular schedule that allows me to be available on weekends as well as all summer long. Evening care is also considered depending on the need! I can carefully and respectfully enter your home and care for your pets. Whether they need a meal, a potty break, a snuggle, or a walk; whatever you request, I can deliver. I understand the importance of being extremely careful not to let a pet get loose as this is something I worry about when I travel. I always enter and exit the home carefully. Your fur baby is the most important thing to me.
About: Hello! I work at a vet clinic 3 days a week and love spending time with animals! I am respectful of others' property and will treat your dog like my own. I will be attentive to bathroom and meal schedules, encourage outdoor and play time, and give lots of love! I work part time at a vet clinic, 3 days a week. I’m available weekends and holidays. Depending on location, I may be able to visit your pet on a lunch break! I am very respectful of people’s privacy when sharing their space. I will be courteous and mindful of your boundaries while caring for your pet

Christine R.
“Christine is an excellent pet caregiver who is very responsible, dependable, and kind. Our Covid puppies had limited socialization during lockdown and have a lot of anxiety meeting new people even at 4 years old and they warmed up to her quicker than anyone else! Her patient and positive attitude I believe is what helped them feel comfortable with her. Our cat, who also is more selective and people she likes, adores her. I highly recommend Christine as a loving caregiver, especially if you’re looking for someone with a big heart, great communication skills, and hard-working. One of the best people to have ever assisted us with our furbabies. 10/10!”
Ellen S.
“Ellen has taken care of my 3 dogs and cat on several occasions and she’s just AMAZING! My husky, Husky/St.Bernard Mix and Chihuahua just love her energy. There is something about her that animals just love. All of the keys get excited when we go on vacation because they know Ellen is coming for a sleepover 😆 I highly recommend Ellen to anyone who wants someone who will take excellent care of their pets. I will keep using Ellen again and again.”

Cara G.
“Looking for someone caring, responsible, and active? Then Cara Gurnsey is the perfect caretaker for your fur baby! Cara has proven time and again with my own dog and those of others that she will go above and beyond to independently cater to their needs and follow specific instructions. I have seen her handle four high energy dogs while never leaving the fifth (elderly/diabetic/high anxiety) dog excluded from her thorough care. I highly recommend Cara to trust with your precious K9(s).”
