Carol was great. Apollo has severe anxiety during thunderstorms and she took care of him. Gave him his medication and cuddled with him to make him feel safe. She played with him and took him on short walks. She asked questions when needed and sent us pictures daily. I highly recommend Carol. She treated Apollo like he was her own. We already have her booked for a second time.

Cheryl did great with all of our fur babies! Even with the puppy being apprehensive she stuck it out until he got comfortable with her. I love that she was consistant with sending pictures!

We are visiting and this was our 1st time using Rover. Sam was great with our 2 rescue pups. She arrived early to get acquainted and ask detailed questions about their needs before we left. She sent pictures a couple time throughout the visit to show how well the dogs were doing. We highly recommend Sam and will request her again if we visit this area again.

Mary was beyond wonderful!! She did an extra meet n greet so the dogs could get be comfortable with her and her husband. They both took such great care of my babies, with plenty of cuddles and pets. She gave me updates every day, with photos and videos. She left the house completely spotless and smelling wonderful. She is definitely our new go to petsitter, and it’s such a relief to have someone we trust that we can contact. I can’t recommend her enough!

Bryanna is fantastic! We’ve never felt so relieved in knowing that we have a person we can fully trust and rely on with our pups. We have a senior dog and a puppy. That combo can be a bit overwhelming, but Bryanna was able to handle them effortlessly. We know we will be reaching out to her again in the future!

Jessica was the best!!! She went above and beyond to care for my pup! She was punctual and always made sure to give an update with each visit. For someone who is nervous about leaving my pup with a stranger I can say that she calmed my nerves and she no longer feels like a stranger. Will certainly use her services in the future.

About: I’ve been volunteering at animal rehab facilities since I was 10 and I’ve worked my way up to wildlife internships in the amazon rainforest just last year, so I have plenty of experience with animals from household pets to less common exotics ! Household pets I have most experience in are Cats, Dogs, Small mammals and Reptiles and I’m well educated in proper cleaning, meal preparation and grooming. I have a heart for animals and i can’t wait to meet yours! 😊🐶 I’m currently managing a temporary health setback and seem to have a lot of time on my hands! I’m available 9 am - 12a during the week and weekends is full availability to keep your pet safe and entertained. I have a fenced in yard and screened porch and I only let my cat roam leashed under close supervision so that he doesn’t get into anything and I didn’t notice. I Always ask what the owner is comfortable with whether it’s crating or going on walks around the yard prior but I also understand some pets need more attention than others and that’s okay! I never have anything toxic in reach and keep my house stocked with plenty of toys and treats to keep your pet happy and healthy.

About: Looking for a compassionate, reliable critter sitter with strong communication skills and extensive animal experience? I’d love to help! I regularly dog sit for friends, neighbors, and clients, and I also volunteer at a local county animal shelter as a dog walker. Through this work, I’ve received hours of formal training and am well-versed in dog behavior, enrichment, handling techniques, and training methods. As the guardian of three rescue dogs, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet. Here are three reasons I’d be a great fit as your sitter: 1. Animal Advocacy: My shelter work has given me hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. 2. Active & Capable: I live an active lifestyle and enjoy running, strength training, and yoga - so I’m comfortable handling high energy dogs or strong pullers. 3. Compassionate Care: I treat every dog with patience, respect, and kindness, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I'm currently working full-time remotely. Having the flexibility to work from anywhere has offered my opportunities to help look after neighbors, friends, and clients beloved four legged friends while they are away. Saturdays and Sundays are completely open. Before taking on a new client, I schedule a phone or in-person meet-and-greet with two key goals in mind: 1. **Understanding Your Pet’s Needs** I take time to learn about your pet’s personality, preferences, and routines—including likes, potential stress triggers, dietary needs, and any training or behaviors you’re currently working on. This allows me to provide consistent, personalized care that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. 2. **Building Trust and Clear Communication with You** My priority is giving you peace of mind. I’m highly responsive and easy to reach, so you can feel confident knowing I’m always available if you have questions or need updates. After each visit, I provide detailed check-ins with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I've spent my entire life surrounded by animals. Cats, dogs, bunnies, and fish. You name it! It was like growing up with LOTS of brothers and sisters! Even my first job was in the animal field - at a petting farm :D. Animals are truly the best therapists, friends, and snugglers. I even got my pet first aid certification. Not only for my pets, but for yours too! I currently have a part time job so I have tons of extra play time for your babies. my availability is pretty open and flexible. So feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to work something out! I like to do pet sitting in my clients home so the animals can be in a familiar environment. Many fur babies find themselves anxious when their owners go away. So to minimize that fear, I like to have them in their natural environment with all the sounds, smells, and surroundings they're used to. I also like to do meet and greets ahead of time to make sure all parties are fully comfortable and assured! :)

About: I am an animal lover. I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life as well as goats, chickens, and an occasional bird. I’ve also rescued and/or raised squirrels, rabbits, and a raccoon. I am retired so I have plenty of time to care for your babies. My baby (chihuahua) has epilepsy so I’m familiar with sticking to routines and administering oral medication. I am really quite a home body. I do a lot of crocheting. The only time that is not negotiable is the first and third Saturday 7:00am to 2:00pm of each month when I try to sell my crochet items at the farmers market. Other than those few hours I’m available to care for your babies needs. I’m trustworthy and clean. I will follow your wishes. I can crate your pet or sleep with it. I currently sleep with my chihuahua and my cat. I love to cuddle with them. My dogs are on a schedule for their medications so I would do the same for babies.

I can't say enough good things about Yenifer and the way she took care of our babies (aka Ruby and Wesley) and how she left our house. She sent tons of updates, checked in with us often, and sent great pictures and videos. I could tell how much she put the dogs at ease and made them feel safe and comfortable. Yenifer has taken her time getting to know them and has let them go at their own pace. She also left our house in amazing condition (better than we left it)! We can't recommend enough. If I could give her more stars, I would!

We recently had the pleasure of having Molly look after our beloved dogs - Koda, Willow, and Brutus - while we attended a wedding in Ohio. From the outset, Molly was a beacon of professionalism and warmth. Her approach to pet care is nothing short of exceptional. Molly's ability to connect with our dogs was evident when she met them. Koda, our older pup, warmed up to her instantly. Always energetic, Willow found a playful and understanding friend in Molly. And Brutus, our gentle giant, was cared for with the perfect mix of affection and discipline. Returning home, our dogs were happy, healthy, and well-loved in our absence. It was clear that Molly had formed a special bond with each of them. The house was also in perfect condition, reflecting Molly's respect and care for our space. In conclusion, Molly is a phenomenal Rover sitter and a true friend to our furry family members. We couldn't have asked for a better person to care for Koda, Willow, and Brutus. We highly recommend Molly to any pet owner who wants peace of mind and the highest standard of care for their pets. Thank you, Molly, for your outstanding service and for treating our dogs like yours!
