About: Dogpark local from the downtown area. I have a dog, Barbie, and my two cats, Kori and Envy. I’m active, positive, professional, and gentle. I feed both my cats and dog in the morning and afternoon. I take Barbie out every morning and afternoon, sometimes at night around the park. All of my animals are very playful. I am a Dogpark local, who takes care of many of my friends pets and homes. This includes taking them to the Dog Park, walking, and sitting for them.
“Nichole was very attentive and Lenny enjoyed his time with her. She went above and beyond and paid special attention to him because he was sick, but still took the time to let my other pet out and take care of him. Her background as a VA was a big reason why we chose her, but her compassion and attention to detail is why I'll chose her first going foward.”

“Grey was great! Respectful to our home but most importantly respectful to our pup! Sent regular updates and went above and beyond. We travel often so we will be using Grey again in the future! Highly recommend! We came home to a happy and healthy pup!”

“Danielle was responsive, took time to meet my dog before the booking, and communicated well throughout the process. She took good care of dog and was even flexible with my return. Highly recommended!”

“Could not have chosen a better sitter for our pup. We came in from out of town and I was so nervous to get a sitter to come to our Air B&B but Nev hit it out of the park! I am so thankful and would love to come back and have this star sitter in the future!”

“Ashley was fantastic! Her background as a former vet tech really shows—she’s incredibly knowledgeable about puppies and made us feel completely at ease. We also reached out last minute, and she was so accommodating and flexible with our schedule. We’re really grateful for her help and would definitely book with her again!”

“I am so happy and pleased with Margaret! She sent me lots of photos and check ins which I absolutely loved. I felt that was my dog was in great hands the entire time. I am so glad I found Meg! She's a dog angel!”
“Ciria is absolutely incredible! She is very communicative, sweet, and reliable. I appreciate how she always keeps me updated on the kitties. Better yet, she has fun with them by giving treats, playing, and dressing them up. We came home to happy, healthy, well-loved kitties which is all you can ask for. Thank you Ciria!!”

“Ericka calmed all my fears about leaving my reactive pup with her! She sent me lots of pictures and just took such good care of them! My dogs loved Ericka 🥰 (I’m only begrudgingly leaving this review bc I selfishly want to keep her for myself!)”


About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and have owned them throughout my life. As a student attending school to major in Veterinary Medicine, I want to get the best experience I can day by day. I currently own a doxie right now and she truly deserves the best. I am currently a sophomore student athlete going into my second semester. I want to be able to stay busy and get some experience with a variety of pets by understanding day by day. Also please understand that I will do my best to keep my availability updated, and as a student athlete please have patience with me. Thank you! I believe that caring for an animal is like caring for a child. The attention and care is a priority, as I do have a doxie myself. She is my whole world and she truly deserves the best along with all other pets!
“Jared will genuinely care with love for your pets, whether they are dogs, cats, gerbils or horses. He has a special gift with all animals and for as long as he's available he is my top choice to care for mine, always.”

“Lindsey was amazing! She helped us out with a last minute trip and was very communicative. She sent lots of pictures of my babies and they seemed to love the attention. Would absolutely recommend her!”

“Damien did an amazing job at caring for my dogs. They warmed up to him very quickly loved being around him. He was also very respectful of the house and very clean. I will be booking him again. I highly recommend Damien to anyone needing a good sitter.”

“Taylor and John are very helpful and trustworthy while I was away on a week vacation. Got plenty of updates and great communication. I would highly recommend them and would rebook again anytime I needed help. Very reliable and helpful.”


“Melissa did an amazing job sitting our two dogs. She was very professional and communication was excellent. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

About: Mature (50+) & Reliable House & Pet Sitter with a Lifetime of Animal Experience **I understand that pets are family!** Growing up, there was always at least one dog in the house, along with a few cats over the years. As an adult, I've shared my home with many dogs and cats and understand that every animal has its own personality, routines, and quirks. **Your fur babies are my fur babies** My mother has worked as a pet sitter for decades, and I've assisted her with pet-sitting assignments involving dogs and cats. Through those experiences, I became comfortable caring for animals with different needs, temperaments, and schedules. **Because I work remotely and have a flexible schedule** I can often provide more companionship and supervision than sitters who are away at a traditional job during the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet company, or simply sticking to a familiar routine, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. **Does your dog or cat need a buddy while you're away?** While I haven't had a pet of my own in the last few years, I still genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand the responsibility involved in caring for both pets and the homes they live in. **Say no to the kennel** I believe the best pet care comes from patience, observation, and respect for each animal's unique personality. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing your home is being well cared for too. **I work remotely** Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. My children are grown, and I currently don't have pets of my own, which means I have the time and flexibility to focus on the pets in my care. When caring for your pets, I can typically provide: • Frequent potty breaks and walks • Consistent feeding schedules • Plenty of companionship throughout the day • Playtime, enrichment, and attention • Medication administration when needed • Careful monitoring of pets who are shy, anxious, or prone to escaping • Regular updates and photos for owners Because I'm often home during the day, your pets won't be left alone for long stretches of time. I understand that most animals are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I make it a priority to keep feeding times, walks, medications, and daily habits as consistent as possible. My goal is simple: happy pets, a well-cared-for home, and peace of mind for you while you're away. When someone invites me into their home and entrusts me with their pets, I understand that they're placing a great deal of trust in me. I take that responsibility seriously. My approach is simple: • Follow your instructions and routines carefully • Keep doors, gates, and potential escape routes secure • Pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or activity levels • Maintain a clean, respectful environment in your home • Communicate promptly if questions or concerns arise • Provide updates and photos so you can relax while you're away I believe pets feel safest when their world remains predictable. Whether I'm caring for a confident dog, a shy cat, or a household with multiple animals, I focus on creating a calm, stable environment that helps them feel comfortable while you're gone. My goal is for you to return home to happy pets, a well-cared-for house, and the confidence that everything was handled with care and attention.
Jefferson pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was the first time I have ever had someone I don’t know staying in our home watching our animals. Jared was amazing. He came for a meet and greet and the dogs immediately loved him. Our older female border collie usually doesnt love on new people so her reaction was very telling. We trusted Jared with our place for 10 days while we were on the other side of the country. He did an amazing job with texts multiple times a day every day as well as pictures of the dogs loving life. We have a doorbell camera and can confirm Jared took the dogs out every 4 hours as we requested and did long walks with the dogs so they could play. Not just pee breaks. I will definitely be using Jared again and if anyone has any reservations about him please take my vote of confidence. He did a fantastic job.

Another stellar visit with Rebeccahlynn! She is so wonderful with our 14 year old Shih Tzu Barkley - this is her second time staying at our house while we were on holiday. She is incredibly responsive, kind and attentive. We received tons of photos and updates while away, which gave us a great peace of mind. I’m reluctant to give her such a stellar review as she may become too popular for future bookings. But she is really amazing with our precious little man.

Sonya was SUPER sweet and attentive to my pups, I get super bad anxiety leaving my babies due to past experiences but with Sonya I didnt worry at all! My dogs are a pain and try and get away with everything so I'm very glad she knew exactly how to read my dogs!

Ashley was super understanding and thoughtful. She knows her way around cats and I was very grateful to have someone who kept them company. I also have a newly senior cat and she was able to handle her supplements and her asthma. Thank you so much again Ashley!

Jianna was an amazing sitter for our babies!! Our pups immediately felt comfortable with her, she communicated and made sure to give me regular updates with lots of photos and was overall a great person! So happy we found her to watch our babies while we are away!

Best decision I ever made! My dogs were taken care of and loved on and taken for walks! Made my momma heart rest a bit easier while away! Pictures were sent every time they did anything! I came home and they were so happy! Way different than any time I’ve boarded them…10/10 recommend these guys, worth every penny!

Christine responded quickly to my request, and met up with me and my dogs to better acquaint herself with them. Christine was caring and professional while caring for my dogs, and maintained communication with me. She has a sunny disposition, and my dogs felt comfortable and reassured by her presence. Christine is highly recommended!
