4. Lenora R.

“Wonderful!! Loved on my babies!!”


5. Claire P.
“I had Claire watch my two dogs one a German shepherd ( Luna ) and the other a yorkie ( Benji ) on many occasions, she took very good care of both them. She fed them as much as needed and she took them out to dog parks and lakes where they can run around and play when I didn’t have the time. She made sure to keep a close eye on benji when I was away ( he likes to rip things up), so that I can come home to no mess. I HIGHLY recommend Claire, amazing girl, and amazing with animals.”


6. Marissa J.
“Marissa is one of the most loving and responsible pet caregivers I know. She treats every animal like her own and always goes the extra mile to make sure they’re happy, safe, and comfortable. Whether it’s a walk, feeding time, or just some cuddles, she gives each pet her full attention. I trust her completely with any animal in her care.”


7. Christlove L.
“Christlove did an amazing job taking care of my blind dog, Chuck. She took the time to understand his routine, quirks, and special needs, providing regular updates with photos. Despite Chuck’s blindness, Christlove was incredibly patient and attentive, ensuring he was well cared for with plenty of walks, playtime, and affection. Her attention to detail and genuine love for Chuck made the entire experience stress free for both Chuck and me. I highly recommend Christlove to anyone needing a sitter. Thanks again for all your help Christlove, we’ll be sure to use you again.”


8. Catherine D.
“Catherine was amazing. As a fellow Rover sitter I’m always picky about my sitters. But I loved her. She sent me updates and photos of the dogs during her entire stay. And even with their “special” personalities I could tell they had a great time and she listened to all instructions. Can’t wait to have her stay with my babies again! I was”


9. Lindsey B.

“So caring and concerned for my animals and was very attention to detials when discussing my pets needs. And that eased my mind more than you know considering I have a hard time trusting others. She kept me updated with pictures even took my babies on walk and out on the lake to enjoy the boat. I now have Lindsey number and will be calling her to watch my babies next time soon”


10. Kayla J.

“We have used Kayla several times and have never been disappointed! She is very accommodating, communicates well, and cares so lovingly for our pets and home while we are gone. She is our go-to pet sitter and should be yours as well!”


11. Ariela F.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child, I’ve learned and read a few things about dog behavior and body language. I’ve trained two puppies up to adulthood so far. I am a fierce animal lover. I will love and take care of your pet just as you would love and take care of your pet! I have time for walks, feeding and daily play due to my work arrangement at home, and being a pet owner myself! Your fur family is my first priority. I have 3 friendly dogs, a fenced in yard, a walking trail, and plenty of space so that your furry friend feels as much like he’s at home as possible.

13. Bobbi T.

15. Jennifer R.


“Jennifer loved my pups like they were her own! I was so appreciative of regular photo updates! It was like vacation for my dogs. They got to play fetch, eat cookies, get lots of lap and play time. 5 out of 5 - would highly recommend and will be using her again. Thank you!”


16. Linda L.

“This was the first time we had to leave our dog with someone other than family for an extended period while on vacation and we were nervous leaving him with a stranger, especially since he is an older dog with mild health issues. From the moment we met Linda she put our mind at ease and gave us the feeling she would do everything she could to make sure Leroy would be taken good care of while we were gone. She was very conscientious of trying to maintain his schedule to make sure he was comfortable and provided periodic updates to ease our minds. Linda left our house extremely neat and tidy, which was very much appreciated after a long day of traveling. We would absolutely ask Linda to watch our dog again!”


17. Thomas F.

“Thomas was amazing! We had a sitter cancel on us last minute right before the holiday. Thomas saved the day & watched our two dogs. Our older dog can be a challenge and he was so sweet & patient with her. Highly recommend!”


18. Tonisha S.
“Toni is a great worker who strives until the work is done. On the days where I would work late, she would feed my dog, take her out, and clean up. She has shown me countless times that she is a hard worker and loves what she does. One time my small Boston Terrier ate a cap that blocked her airway. Toni got the cap out and did CPR. About two minutes later my dog was running around playing again. I still call her to this day when I need her, and we met almost 5 years ago. Toni doesn’t disappointed.”


19. Crystal D.
About: I've taken care of animals since I was 10. I care for all animals even the fur babies that have anxiety away from home. They will be loved and you will have tons of photos I can pet sit during the early mornings or late at nights. Staying at the animals comfort home so they won't have too much anxiety while you're away. I can care for any animals at the comfort of your animals home. Animals prefer their home more than someone else's. Lesser anxiety for them.
