“Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her. She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”

“April was amazing. Very professional. Took care of any changes we had immediately. Our Animal kingdom loved her, and she loved taking care of them. She was always on time for her drop-ins and she checked in and checked out perfectly. She let us know of any issues, a and took care of them immediately. Such a pleasure knowing that we could relax knowing our pets would be well cared for. We were able to concentrate on our family. We will most definitely book with her again.”

“Yan is an AMAZING cat sitter! She kept in daily communication in a professional and upbeat way; it's such a relief to find a sitter who sends a detailed report with plenty of adorable photos. She very smoothly handled some hiccups when my lively kitties got into some mischief. She seemed to care for them in a way that really put me at ease. Would definitely book again!”

“Kylee is amazing!! This was my first time using Rover for our boxer dog. I was nervous to allow a stranger into our home for drop in visits but Kylee really made me feel at ease. I could not have asked for a better experience! Kylee was always on time, extremely reliable, quick with all communications and provided daily photos and details of her visit. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again!”

About: Hi my name is Rachelle! I’ve walked and watched most dogs since I was seventeen my love for dogs and animals are my passion. I’ve had animals such as goats, dogs, ducks you name it since I was little! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I have a year and a half German shepherd who has very high energy so we spend most of our time in the yard playing fetch and going on walks My German shepherd requires a lot of walks and running through out the day it makes for a very fun day especially to see her so happy! I make sure everything is ok while I am walking them, make sure I have plenty of water with me and it’s not too hot for them

“Franci was wonderful!! I lost one of my cats right before my trip and she was so kind and caring to my other cat. She put me at ease while I was gone and was a great communicator!! I would definitely ask her to care for my babies again!!”

About this sitter: I've always had two passions: Animals and photography. I've never met an animal I didn't like (unless you consider a tarantula an animal). ;) I am fun, thoughtful, careful, attentive to details, responsible, caring Christian who works and walks with Integrity. Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover all my life. I've had dogs of my own and have always loved to take care of family and friend's dogs. I pet sat part time in the late 1980's & have done it full time since 2010. Meet my pets Will care for most domestic animals including reptiles and birds. About my yard I only sit in the client's home, not at my own. This allows the pet to feel more comfortable in their own environment. No travel trauma for pet or owner. Reduced chance for picking up illness as not boarding with other pets. Pets can keep their same feeding & exercise routines. They can also have the familiar sights, sounds & smells that make them feel safe in their own home. My experience administering medication I will administer most medications as long as the pet is friendly and accepting of it. I am available for your let's needs, whether that be stop I'm visits, house sitting and overnight stays and more. I also do pet and family portraiture. I do not care for client's pet in my home, but rather the pet's own home so they feel confident, safe, relaxed and can keep their own routines, surrounded by familiar sights, sounds and smells.

About: I’m the biggest pet lover I know! I frequently dog-sit and cat-sit for friends and neighbors. Throughout my life, I've had six dogs, two of whom now live with my parents. All of them have enjoyed wonderful lives! One of my special skills is out-energizing dogs during their walks. I love taking them around the lake and enjoying my neighborhood! I often visit my neighbors to check on their pets, change the kitty litter, or just spend time with them—especially when they go on vacation. I also feed and walk my friend's pets. See I create a detailed list of needs and wants for the pets, all discussed with the pet owner to ensure that I understand what is required for their care. I also like to get to know both the owner and the pet before providing care. This allows me to ask questions and gather the necessary information to properly care for the pet.

“Cassidy took amazing care of our Daisy. Highly recommend her. Thanks.”

About: We're a couple who love animals of all shapes and sizes, especially cats and dogs! We have experience traveling around the U.S. as pet sitters, Megs currently works at SPCA Florida (an animal welfare nonprofit), and we have five incredible rescue cats of our own. We have experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. We also are comfortable caring for cats with a variety of needs and set-ups. We truly just love animals and want the best for each and every one! Megs currently works part-time and LJ has a flexible work-from-home job, which leaves us plenty of room for snuggles and walks and any other kind of pet care! We prioritize the health and well-being of our own cats at home, ensuring they have an enriching environment, high-quality food, a consistent schedule, plenty of attention, and as much play and exercise as they could want. We would love being a part of doing the same for your pets whether that's through drop-in visits or walks!

About: I have had at least one dog my entire life, so over 20 years. I have experience with puppies who were just born, all the way to a pup who is 17 years old - almost as old as me! I have owned multiple dogs at a time, trained my own puppies, and have even had farm animals (cows, pigs, goats, chickens, you name it!) My family and friends have relied on me to care for their pups for years, and I have experience with over 20 breeds including (Shih Tzus, Yorkshire Terriers, Chihuahuas, English Bulldogs, Great Pyrenees, German Shepherds, Mountain Curs, Golden Doodles, Golden Retrievers, Doberman Pinchers, and many more!) I am a 23 year old newly married, dog loving girl! I have a 5 year old English bulldog of my own and her and I are the best buddies! I can assure you, your pup will be just as loved as if it was my own. I absolutely love walking dogs and taking them to the dog park (two of my faves) or simply just playing in the yard. Prior to taking care of your pup, I love for them to get familiar with me, so I will take the on a walk or play with them first. I do not offer overnight services in my personal home, but will visit your home so that your sweet pup (or cat!) feels safe and very familiar with its surroundings. I have found that relocating your pup to a place they have never been can make them very nervous, therefore I simply visit your home where your pup is at the times that you typically feed/water, and take out your pup on a normal basis!

About: Ive always gotten along well with cats & dogs. I always try to cater to the need of the owners as long as their reasonable 😂. Honestly animals in general bring so much joy to everyone and deserve the cuddles and care the need. 😁 I’m usually available on Mondays & Fridays after 5pm and am free throughout Saturday, as for Sundays I’m free either in the early mornings like 8:30am - 11am or after 4pm-9. I try my best to be flexible with the hours before and/or after 12pm to 5pm. If you have any rules in place don’t hesitate to let me know. I’ll always strive to make sure to stick to them. And make sure that your pets are relax and have the necessary attention they need. 🙂

“Bridget was so kind, caring, and attentive to our kitties while we were out of tow, we also loved getting pictures of them each day. I can't recommend her enough!”
