“Liz & Kizzy did a wonderful job of taking care of our dog and cat for a week. The love, care and attention were certainly obvious given their daily updates including lots of photos. Even though I am sure we were all missed, I know for certain Liz and Kizzy were missed after our return. I would definitely recommend Liz and Kizzy!”

“She was great! Dropped in to check on my dog last minute while i was out of town for the day, walked him, and took some of the cutest photos he’s had in years!”

“Kendall is amazing! She is so full of energy and easy to get in touch with. It is so clear to see how much care she takes in every aspect of her life. Bonnie was very happy when I came home, I could tell she was well cared for :)”

About: Hello! My name is Lily! I hope I’ll be your new favorite pet sitter! I have experience with many different kinds of animals, though usually sit for dogs and cats. My family has owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, aquatic and terrestrial turtles, aquatic frogs, and fish. I am always happy to meet new kinds of creatures, though— as long as you can show me how to care for them, I’m excited to meet them! I’ve watched animals of all different ages and abilities, including elderly ones. I have previously handled emergency situations for absent pet parents. I am happy to administer medications, provided that you demonstrate or describe how the animal usually takes them. Happy to provide walks for dogs, cats, etc during housesitting stays! If your animal is very large and/or pulls extensively on the leash, please discuss with me what would be best for them at the meet and greet. I love hanging out with animals while I’m working— they’re such good office-mates! Of course I have to leave occasionally during overnight stays, but your pets are my priority, always! Whatever attention they need, I will give them, and I will always keep my eyes and ears open for any mischief happening! I like to go through your routine with you and then try to keep everything as close to normal for your pets as possible! They’ll already be missing you— they don’t need any more stress! Food and water bowls refilled on time, walks given regularly, and as many pets, kisses, and photoshoots as required!
“On time, kept me updated with plenty of photos. Very professional and was very happy with her service! First time user of River and will be a continuous user based on my experience.”


“We had such an amazing experience having Caitlin watch our two dogs while we were away! She was incredibly detail-oriented, attentive, and thoughtful throughout our entire trip. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We especially appreciated how frequently she sent updates, photos, and little check-ins. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing exactly how our pups were doing while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs made it obvious how wonderful of a sitter she was. We would absolutely trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, communicative, and genuinely invested in their pets. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”

“Josephine was an excellent sitter and went above and beyond for our dog Hazel. Her updates were detailed and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I would feel very comfortable rebooking her in the future, and appreciated the level of care she had. Thanks again, Josephine!”

“Alexandra is just the best. Our little girl is so happy after she gets all the attention and walkies while we’re gone. Alexandra is very respectful and clean and really takes the time to spend time with your pup while you’re out.”

“Alayne was amazing! Clear communication and updates about scheduling, very attentive when learning the routine, super patient and earned the trust of my shy dog, and lots of pics! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always been a huge dog person! I’ve trained both of my dogs as well as my family dogs from my childhood! We went through all the ups and downs of owning different breeds. From Puppy stage sickness to senior dog issues I’ve experienced most of it all. We have a close knit Church family and I advertise dog sitting and I have been doing dog sitting/walking for several families with young dogs and senior dogs. Each dog and family is different and I’m very capable to adapt my care to each individual dogs needs and behavior. I can walk,feed,play,and even bathe each of our doggie guests during their stay with us or in their own home. I provide as much care and attention they would need due to my 24/7 Home schedule. And since I work remote, I can easily adjust my Small Business hours to fit with your personal schedule preferences! I run a small Art business from my home! And I can easily work remote if I need to. I that means I have most of the week to provide care and attention to your pet! We only reserve Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings for our church services. While I’m in a clients home, I’m sure to clean up after your pet as well as myself. I’m respectful of personal space and respect the mantra “my house my rules” so any set guidelines you may have for your pet and your home will be followed to the letter!

“My little Rokke had know KaLee since she was 8 weeks and EVERY time Rokke greets her with love and sometimes crazy. KaLee does a great job of keeping me in the loop of how she’s doing and never makes me feel like my girl is well taken care of!”

“Sydney was wonderful with my 3 dogs, including a 11 week old puppy that needed extra attention. We were only gone for a few hours but it was reassuring to know that someone was there to tend to his needs. When we came back, all the dogs were calm and happy. It was our first time using Sydney for our pet sitter and we will definitely use her again. She is trustworthy and knowledgeable with dogs.”

“Tiffany was so helpful and thoughtful in watching my cats. She followed the directions I left to a T, gave me detailed information on how they were doing, and went out of her way to make them comfortable while I was out of town. I will absolutely be booking Tiffany’s services again.”

Allie was amazing with my three dogs. She took great care and spent time with each dog. Allie was prompt, communicative, and very well experienced. I could tell from the pics and videos that she sent. Thank you Allie! We will definitely book again! I highly recommend Allie for anyone looking for a pet sitter!

I just can’t say enough about Alora. She has become a member of the family in my two corgis hearts. It is so good to leave them with someone who truly loves animals and can give meds and special food needs when. Called upon. I already have her booked for her next stay!

Selina was outstanding! She took excellent care of our four cats, including one who needs insulin shots and pills. And when our flight home was delayed, she was amazing in working with us and providing coverage until we got home. We would definitely use her again!
I am extremely pleased by the excellent service the Lisandra provided in caring for my dog while I was out of town. She went above and beyond expectations with the drop in visits that she provided for my dog Nala. She not only fed her and took her out for potty breaks but also walked her and spent time playing with her during her visits. She was also very punctual and had great communication. She always let me know when she was here to take care of Nala and communicated when she was going to be a few minutes late. She put my mind at ease while I was away knowing that Nala was well taken care of. Thank you Lisandra, I'm so glad to have had you to care for Nala while I was gone.

Julia is the best! I was so worried to use rover initially because I am very protective of my kitties, but now I can enjoy being away without hesitation. She is very attentive and even our most shy cat has warmed up to her. Would highly recommend Julia to anyone!

Thank you Andrea for your attention to detail, great communication, timely check-ins with our pups and taking such good care of them while we were away. We enjoyed the many pictures and updates after each visit and the peace of mind they brought us! If you're available for our next family excursion we would love to book you again!

Lia and Alexzander were so great with our cat Grace. She normally does not like most people but I have lots of photos of them petting her and brushing her, so she obviously became very comfortable with them. They were awesome to do the things we needed done and faithfully communicated and sent us photos. I would very highly recommend them!
