“Marie was a Godsend! I have never left my 2 cats but wanted to attend a wedding in Mexico. From the moment I met Marie, I knew my fur babies would be in good hands. She sent me pics twice a day and let me know how my girls were doing. Not only do I have a cat sitter, I have a new friend as well :) Marie is loving and responsible and I highly recommend her!!”


“Livana is a sweetheart. It was a pleasure to meet her and our dog Nessie seemed happy and enjoyed her time with Liv. I definitely recommend her and will be using her services again soon.”


“Claudia dropped in to feed and let my dogs out over a long weekend. Claudia was so sweet and communicative! She gave me excellent updates and sent tons of pictures. I think she even brought them a toy. My dogs looked super happy and well-cared for and I will definitely book with Claudia again!”


“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our cherished fur babies in someone else’s hands. From the meet and greet to the final check in, Kristi went over and above our original expectations. She kept us informed, sending us photos, which truly made a difference while travelling. She provided many special touches which we will be forever grateful for as she genuinely cared and loved for our fur babies like they were her own. We will forever be indebted to her and without a doubt, use her services again! Highly recommend!”


“100% the best care I could’ve asked for! All of my fur babies were so well taken care of the whole weekend we went away! It was our first time ever leaving our 2 dogs and 3 cats and I will admit I was pretty nervous, Maya gave us nothing but reassurance! She sent so many pictures, kept us updated the whole time, and even made sure everything was kept in place for us. I will definitely keep in contact to use her as a sitter again! If you’re looking for a class act pet sitter, you found your girl!”


“Peyton is amazing and went above and beyond for us while we were away for our first family vacation!! She was on point with communication when we or she had a question regarding the dogs, plus she did cleaning outside when we didn't ask her to. With the 6 dogs she had to watch, 5 out of 6 dogs (5 are my MIL dogs) loved her, except 1 of our dogs, Misty, was very stubborn and guarded she was giving us a play by play on how she kept on barking and 24hrs later Misty warmed up and earned Peyton's respect. We would love to have her again in the near future!! :)”


About: I have taken care of family pets since I was young. As I grew older, I adopted my own pets and have volunteered in animal shelters as well. I have always had dogs and cats in my life and it has grown to guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I'm able to give baths, do walks, and bathroom breaks and provide ample amounts of play time. I am available for Labor Day weekend! I am also a full time stay at home mother so currently all of my days and times of the week are free and open, even weekends. I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.

“Bridgette was absolutely amazing & accommodating for my crazy schedule/situation. She did a great job with my pet in terms of walking, feeding, and giving consistent updates - I will definitely book her again!!”


About: Hello! My name is Lois and I am 25 years old. I live with my fiancé Aaron, he is a wonderful man, gentle, and kind man. His love for animals is equal to mine. I am from Pittsburgh originally but, I have since moved to North Jackson! I live in a sweet, cozy, home in the country. My property is very private, with lots of land for animals to play on safely. I will be the sole caretaker for your pet, and I am able to dedicate my full attention and provide round-the-clock care and attention for your pet. I have an almost 2 year old son, that I co-parent with his father. So he is here every other week, if you prefer to arrange a time when he is or isn’t here, for your or his safety. I 100% will do that. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs, all are very friendly and love other animals. They are absolutely great role models for other dogs. I occasionally foster dogs that need homes, and they are absolutely incredible. Our heeler is a very big charmer and is extremely playful. Our poodle is laid back, reserved, but definitely loves to play. They both love exploring and hiking. I am outside almost all day with them, and when it’s too hot we go out in intervals. Cool off, drink/eat, refresh, and we’re back outside playing and enjoying nature. Our closest neighbor is family, and they equally love animals, our dogs will visit for treats haha. If you’d would like our animals separate from any of your animals, I can arrange that. Just please let me know ahead of time! My experience with animals: I have been around dogs, cats, and exotic animals pretty much since I was born. I've always had a passion for animals, I truly love and value everything from the tiniest bug to the tallest horse haha. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles (venomous and non-venomous) and fish. I have trained show dogs since the age of 13, and have ethically bred and assisted many litters alongside my mother and/or equally knowledgeable/highly experienced mentors. My mother was very passionate about showing dogs and was an amazing obedience trainer. She has won many shows and competitions across the country. To the point where she had #1 dogs for breed and in obedience. I have grown up and learned many techniques from her specifically. My mother and I, also have plenty of experience with rescue work, for many years we rescued dogs from high-kill shelters, we then rehabilitated them for many months before finding their destined home. We also have done years of rescue work with cats/kittens, rescuing injured and/or abandoned cats/kittens and rehabilitating them until they were eventually ready to go to their forever homes as-well. At one point in my life, I co-founded an exotic animal transport business. We traveled the country transporting exotic animals for zoos, rescues, conservations, and private collectors. At one point, having over 100 venomous/non-venomous reptiles. Obviously, I have left that behind now that I have my son. I also have alot of experience with poultry aswell, I used to raise and rescue ducks, chickens, and turkeys! I have worked in pet stores, spend lots of spare time studying, learning, and have had a lot of incredible mentors in my life. I can give advice in foods, toys, preventatives, and lots of other animal supplies. I can also give advice on any behavioral issues that your pet may have. I am currently training my poodle to be my personal service dog. I definitely have a passion for helping animals.. I find that many animals are sadly misunderstood, but every one is just as valuable and deserving of love as the next. If you are considering me as a pet sitter, please feel free to write me with any questions you may have. I’ll respond as soon as possible! Im more than willing to work on prices as-well, it’s hard to get by nowadays and I know things are easy. I’m honestly much more interested in meeting and caring for pets than making a profit from someone who just needs some help. Please feel free to look through the gallery of my photos, I would say 90% of the animals shown were either my personal pets or rescues. Otherwise, I was pet-sitting them! :) LOISW05421, https://www.rover.com/sit/loisw05421 *Discount code* I don’t work, I am blessed to be a stay-at-home mom. I wake up at 7am and go to bed at 10pm. I have full availability! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I know how to manage dogs with anxiety, mental disorders, and some types of aggression. I have a variety of crates, if you would like me to use them. I would NEVER use a crate that is too small, and I would NEVER leave your dog alone in the crate unless you specifically request it. Your animal will be my top priority and concern, I will care and love them as if they were my own!

About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of animals! Whether it be while growing up or starting to dogsit/walk in high school, there was never a time a fur baby wasn’t relying on me. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to help out with my friends and families animals, as well as volunteer for local animal shelters. I have experience with dogs of all ages and levels of care. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your pet (I have used Rover myself when I go out of town) so I assure you I will provide the kind of care and attention to your pet that I would want given to my own! :) I’m currently working part time. My job offers flexible hours, so I have the opportunity to accommodate whatever schedule you and your pet require. :) I will happily go over what your pets routine is and abide by whatever you’re most comfortable with! If your dog is used to being walked at certain times, crated, etc. The well being and safety of your animal is my upmost concern so whatever you need me to do to guarantee that, is what I’ll do!
