“Joanne was great with my two goofy german shepherd mixes - we had a great meet and greet and my dogs immediately took to her. She came as scheduled and took great care of my babies like they were her own - fed them, lived on them, let them out for potty. She took pics and keep in touch with the details of the visits. Very confident and comfortable with my larger (70 lb) but very friendly pups. She let me know one of them had an accident and took care of cleaning that up for me (so sorry, thank you so much). I will definitely be in touch for the next time I need care for my pups. Thanks again!”
“Is my second time booking with Isabelle who is very flexible & responsible. She took care of 4 dogs! No problems at all and I could relax knowing they were being looked after.”
“This was my first time using the rover site and having Lucinda care for our pets while we were away - absolutely wonderful - the process and how easy it was and how terrific Lucinda was! I felt relieved to find someone so great that I could trust. I will definitely try and book Lucinda for our next trip!”
“I reached out to Julianna when my last dog walker quit at the last minute; she has been an amazing addition. It’s obvious she’s very experienced with dogs; and has the necessary patience to provide care for energetic puppies such as my 4mo old German Shepherd. She provides detailed notes after each session, and lots of pictures. My puppy always looks so happy in the pictures she sends!”
“Deanna was so lovely! She accommodated us as with a last minute request and responded quickly by asking lots of questions about our dogs, their habits, and needs. She followed our instructions to the letter and although it was a quick drop in, she still gave us a full report and pictures. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Victoria did an excellent job with Tobias. She sent me texts and pictures while she was here. I don't trust many people with Tobias but I will gladly book Victoria again and rest easy knowing he is with her. Thanks again. 😊”
“Nadine exceeded all expectations as our dog sitter! Not only did she provide excellent care for Oakley and Nova, but she also went above and beyond by showering Yintcy with extra love and attention. Her dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals make her the perfect choice for anyone seeking peace of mind while away. I was able to have a stress free anniversary trip, with my husband!”
“Brooklyn was great. She was exactly what we needed for our boy, Cash. She came in, fed him and played with him for the whole half hour that she was here. She also messaged me letting know that he was OK after a day that he hadn’t been feeling well. And sent plenty of pictures to reassure us that he was doing great.”
“Denise is beyond awesome with our Sammy! She is a great communicator! She treats Sammy just like he was hers! I am sorry free when Denise comes and visits! Sammy is well taken care of! Thank you Denise!”
“Samantha was more than wonderful with my fur babies! She was very attentive to my instructions and took exceptional care of my babies, so that I could thoroughly enjoy my time out. I will most definitely and confidently use Samantha in the future!! Thank you, Samantha, for your time and attentive care!!! So greatly appreciated!!”
“Brittany was fantastic taking care of our 15 year old, blind senior cat with health issues and our shy kitten. She was able to get the senior to take his oral medications everyday and provided very detailed updates and pictures during every visit. She was very communicative and always responded quickly. She was VERY accommodating when there was a mix up at the beginning of the stay (my fault) and she went back to the house for a second time. I trust her 100% to watch my babies while I was away. Highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!”
“Barry was flexible, professional, quick to respond, and easy to get in touch with. He was always on time for the visits we scheduled for. He sent the best detailed updates with pictures included. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
About: I have been caring for animals my whole life. I currently have two cats who I rescued 6 and 7 years ago, and a 3 year old Australian Cattle Dog who keeps me on my toes! I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, from kittens/puppies to seniors. I will care for your pets, and love them, like I do my own. I am currently working part time so I am fairly flexible most weekdays! I have Monday and Friday completely open, and Tuesday-Thursday partially available. I can pop in for a visit or a walk almost anytime. I am very trustworthy and reliable. You won't have to worry about the safety of your pets or home while I am working for you. I will follow all of your guidelines and wishes, exactly how you want.
“Was totally comfy and happy with the level of care and attention provided while I was away!! I’m sure my cats, especially Cid, will miss his new friend. Thank you so much for everything and merry christmas!”
About: I am a nurturer by nature and am a Registered Nurse. In the later part of my career I worked in labor and delivery and took care of mothers and newborns, and I have to say when I got the chance to help deliver a litter of puppies, it was just as exciting! So since I no longer work in the nursing field, and I don’t have my patients to spend my time caring for, I’ve now decided that since I love animals so much it’s time to spend all my extra time spoiling them, caring for them, and just loving on them. As a child, I grew up always having a dog and a cat in the house and then when I left the nest, my husband and I started out with one dog and we eventually ended up with three. Still I find there’s plenty of space in my heart to get to know even more. Our oldest golden retriever boy takes seizures, so I am comfortable taking care of dogs that do have a history of seizures. I am also comfortable giving medications. I will always make it a point to send photos to mom and dad so you can see how your fur babies are doing. This way when you’re away from your fur baby you’ll still feel comfortable. Just one thing I wanted to mention. I enjoy taking dogs for walks however I am not able to walk a large strong dog that pulls. I have no problem pet sitting a large dog if they have a fenced in yard and I would not have to walk them. However, I just would not feel safe walking them as I would feel that there could possibly be a chance that they would pull too hard and possibly either knock me down or get loose. However, like I said, I do love my big dogs. I just feel for safety sake. I wanted to put out that information. My schedule is almost completely free except for an occasional appointment here or there which I usually know well in advance. I’m available for drop ins and overnight stays as well. The only other commitment I have is I usually photograph the dogs at a local shelter once a week to help them get adopted. Unfortunately, at this time, I cannot care for pets in my home as my senior dog is recovering from cancer and he has become a little bit grumpy with dogs that he does not know. I have no problem caring for your pet in your own home, which I believe is actually often the best scenario as it seems to make things less stressful overall for your pets while you’re away from them. I can follow whatever routine your pet is used to and whatever instructions you leave.

Miriam S.
“Miriam has taken care of my cats for many years whenever I’ve been away for work or on vacation. She is one of only two people, aside from my fiancé and me, who have managed to get on my oldest cat Lio’s good side. He’s a COVID cat, so he can be a bit aggressive and generally doesn’t trust people at all, but he absolutely loves Miriam. She is very sensitive to animals’ needs and personalities. She is both responsible and attentive and she’s great with administering medications and managing special diets when necessary. I know I can trust her to care for my cats with the same love and attention I would give them myself. I would recommend her services to anyone!”

Mary K.
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mary as a dog sitter! From the moment we met her, it was clear she has a true gift with animals. With three dogs of her own, she’s not only experienced—she’s deeply in tune with what dogs need to feel happy, safe, and loved. Mary is incredibly caring and attentive. She took the time to learn my pup’s personality, routines, and quirks, and made sure every little detail was just right—from feeding schedules to playtime. I got regular updates, photos, and could tell my dog was not just being looked after, but genuinely loved. She treats every dog as if they were her own. Mary’s calm energy and thoughtful approach made a world of difference for my anxious dog. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your pup, Mary is the one. She’s everything you could want in a sitter—responsible, detail-oriented, kind, and absolutely devoted to dogs.”
