“It’s been a while since we’ve used Rover and so happy we did. Jacob took great care of our fur babies. He was quick to respond to us and updated us with pictures of our pets. Would recommend Jacob to anyone. We will request him again!!!”
“Susan was wonderful. My pups loved her. Very friendly and experienced. Would highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again.”
“Emmanuel did a phenomenal job taking care of my three dogs while we were away. He gave them extra attention, followed instructions to a T and kept me updated throughout our trip. I truly appreciate him and glad for his prompt response.”
“Madison was incredible! It was my first time leaving my puppy with a sitter and I was a little skeptical during my search, but when I reached out to Madison, she suggested we do a meet and greet to get to know each other and my puppies, which really put my mind at ease. She sent me multiple pictures and videos throughout the day along with updates. She also trained my puppy to sit and got her on the right track for potty training, along with other tricks and manners. I will definitely be booking again with Madison in the future, whether it be for a drop in visit or a week long trip! Thank you so much, Madison for taking such good care of Millie and teaching her as well!”
“Alexandria did a great job, our doggy Ruger is a nervous boy and she stayed with him and was in good hands. She also cared for our cat and even sent a picture when he deigned to show his presence.”
“Allana did great with my puppy! She was super flexible with what we needed and made sure to be attentive with my puppy both inside the house and when she took him on walks. He was comfortable enough to eat, sleep, and play with her! We came back to a puppy who was out for the rest of the night! It can be really hard to leave your puppy with someone, especially in your own home, (my puppy is only 4 months) but allana did a great job and I’d hire her again.”
“Parris was great! Shee was reliable and the dogs seemed to love her. She walked them and played with them while we were gone. Will definitely call on her again!”
“Fate is fantastic! I cannot say enough good things about how incredibly flexible and accommodating she was throughout the entire process, which allowed for us to be able to enjoy our holidays across the country without having to worry about Tank (our dog) back at home. We spoke everyday and received lots of pictures, keeping us reassured that he was happy and in good hands. Our main ask for a sitter is to try and spend as much time with our boy as much as possible, and she really never left his side - which he clearly loved, as he was cuddling up to her in every pic we received! She is as nice as can be and left her house spotless after her stay! I would absolutely book with her again and recommend you do the same! :) Thanks, Fate, for helping make our holiday possible and for looking after our baby while we were away. You’re the best!”
“Erin was amazing with my dogs! She went above and beyond while house sitting! She sent me pictures and kept me updated on how they were doing the whole time. She is dependable & trustworthy. I highly recommend her to anyone. ?”
“Absolutely amazing. Our pups loved her and she left us the sweetest note ever. Will definitely book again!”
About: I did basic obedience dog training, and am currently in introduction training for canine specialist. I work at a rescue facility with cats and dogs. I work part time mostly morning and can come take care of your pets after work like I do mine. On days I work late I get an hour lunch I can come during lunch! If you have a yard I can go outside with your pet and watch them, as well as play with them. Or I can walk your pet!
“Absolutely a fantastic sitter! I felt SO assured that my boy was going to be taken care of while I was out of state. Nothing but good vibes! Even with my flight being delayed on the night I came back, she still made sure to hang out with him a little later. I could tell my pup was well fed and played with while I was away. Could not ask for a better sitter!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets professionally for over 10 years, and I have several dogs of my own, so I truly understand that pets are family.

I’m confident giving medications, handling special diets, and maintaining routines that help your pet feel safe and at home. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or slow, gentle walks, I’ll tailor my care to fit their unique needs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, secure, and happy while you're away and to give you peace of mind with updates and photos along the way! I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, around-the-clock care for your pet. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a specific feeding or medication schedule, I can easily accommodate your pet’s needs throughout the day. The best part? My work can come with me, so your pet never has to be alone for long! I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most secure. I follow all routines and instructions closely to maintain a calm, familiar environment. From feedings and walks to medication and playtime, I handle every task with care and attention. I treat your home with the same respect I give your pet clean, tidy, and secure. You can count on me for consistent updates, so you always know your furry family member is happy and well cared for.
“Michaela was the best dog sitter ever! She sent me so many pictures so that I always knew what Poppy was up to, and even left me with a little souvenir polaroid of Poppy. :) She also sent me pictures of my turtles, who she wasn't even responsible for caring for. I would definitely recommend her services!”

“Kiley went above and beyond watching our animals. She was able to accommodate us on short notice. She was attentive, organized and detailed with her care for our 2 dogs and cat. She updated us several times a day with pictures and details about their day. We enjoyed having her care for not only our pets but our home as well.”
About: I love dogs, been around them all my life and I love taking care of them. Love to have fun with them and take them out to enjoy the air when it's nice out. Love the dog parks also and building a relationship with the dogs and puppies I care for. They're so full of life and getting to know them and making them my best friend is very important to me. I also love to get to know my clients as well and build a relationship with them and trust so they can see I work well with others and their pets. Building a relationship with ur clients is most important to me and to them also. They need to trust you in their home and with their pets
“We have booked Gracie for a few different services now. Most recently Gracie house sat for me and did a great job! Thank you Gracie for always being a great house guest and keeping my anxiety at bay with all your updates.”
“Esmerelda is a wonderful sitter! She always took pictures of my fur babies and she updated me daily on how they started to become more friendly with her. She even took the time to sweep up the litter that was tracked and took out the trash. I have no complaints about Esmerelda and I would definitely have her look after my kitties again!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and other animals for as long as I can remember. From senior dogs, to young pups, I have done it all. I love being able to play with the young pups, but also love being able to chill out with the seniors. You'll receive tons of pictures when your animals are with me, I'm always snapping photos when I'm with peoples animals! I've done vaccines, pet wellness classes, dog training classes, worked at multiple boarding facilities & pet stores working with all ages, sizes and breeds I currently am looking to do pet care every other week when I'm not nannying a sweet little 4 year old. Nannying is my only other job so when I'm with your pets that's all I'm focused on. I mostly would like to do pet care within a clients home due to me having 2 pups of my own and one of them doesn't really love other dogs.

“To Whom It May Concern Amy has occasional cared for our 3 year old female Laborer Retriever for the past 2 years. mostly During our 2 week family vacation in the summer time or on other holiday trip. Amy does pet sit for us and follows our detailed walk/food instructions for Dog Mia and also our 12 year old cat Patches. Mia is slightly over weight so walks are often but with nap breaks in between. I've never experience any issues with her work performance and service. Amy also gives her time to work on not scheduled days if she is available. There have been times when we've had an family or work emergency and she has came in to work.”
