Liane was very accommodating on short notice and great with my pets. She made sure my pets felt comfortable in their own home and took time to give me updates. I will recommend and book with her again in the future. :)

We left Chloe with the dogs overnight and she stayed at our house. We came back to happy pups! She was very responsive to text messages and we hope she will sit for us again.

Konnor was a great sitter! So easy to communicate with and was great with the boys during the initial meeting. The dogs were barely excited to see us when we got home so they were probably tired out, which we love! Thanks again, Konnor!

Erin is the best! I have two small pups and they loved her which is amazing because one of my boys is a rescue and is very scared of people but he laid on the couch next to her and was not scared. She took excellent care of my dogs and I will book with her again.

About: Hello! I’m Angela. A bit about me: I grew up in South America surrounded by animals. My first German Shepherd, Joe, and my small dog, Lulu, taught me early the importance of love, care, and respect for pets. I saw my parents prepare their food and give them attention, showing me that animals are part of the family and deserve compassion, understanding, and affection. From a young age, I learned that animals act according to their environment and training. I remember a neighbor’s dog jumping toward me once—he only defended himself. Experiences like this taught me patience, empathy, and how to read a pet’s signals to ensure they feel safe and loved. Throughout my life, I have cared for a variety of breeds and sizes. These experiences have deepened my understanding of different temperaments and needs. In my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced one-acre backyard where they can run freely, a doggy door for access in and out, full access to the house, and orthopedic beds for resting. I do not use kennels, allowing them to feel at home. The space is kept clean and fresh at all times, with water always available. I provide companionship, exercise, and mental stimulation so pets are happy and healthy while their owners are away. I love pampering animals and preparing healthy treats approved by their owners. I make homemade snacks, including collagen, chicken feet, and beef bones with vegetables, all 100% natural. After my German Shepherd Joe passed away due to a serious illness, I began preparing natural meals combined with dry food for Jack, my current Shepherd. I have seen remarkable improvements in his health, coat, and well-being, ensuring a long, happy, and vibrant life. Animals are never “just pets”; they are family. I put myself fully to provide a safe, loving environment full of attention, play, and care, giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, healthy, and loved. Thank you for visiting my profile, I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to meeting your precious animals! Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I provide meals, exercise, and playtime, supervise pets closely, and ensure they feel safe and loved. I also take time each day to explore new ways for pets to enjoy their environment, keeping them mentally and physically stimulated. Weekly, I clean living areas, check on health needs, and communicate with pet parents to ensure their pets are happy, healthy, and thriving in a secure, caring environment. I provide a safe, loving environment for pets, with a fully fenced one-acre backyard for play. I supervise closely, follow feeding instructions, and use gentle handling. Pets feel happy, secure, and cared for, while I keep owners updated so they trust their furry friends are in good hands.

Simply a blessing. Naee’ sat our boys (one is a puppy) for 5 days. We were even having work done in the backyard which made the stay more challenging. She sent pictures and it was extremely easy to communicate with her. Upon our return home, we could tell our boys were not stressed and the pups and the house were treated with care. We sincerely appreciate having someone we can trust with our fur babies and our home. She’ll definitely be the first we call when we’re planning to be away. She’s awesome. Thanks so much, Naee’!!!

Carla was such a fabulous pet sitter for my cat Achilles!! She checked on him often and sent me pics and videos. When I returned he was happy and the house was just as I left it. Maybe better!! Will definitely use her again???

About: My husband, Jesse, and I love our dogs like family and we will love yours like family as well. We are the trusted home of many family members’ pets. We know it can be difficult to find good care for your dogs while you are away, and would love to be their home away from home. We have 2 dogs who currently experience seizures so we have some experience in special care, and know the importance of providing the extra care and attention to ensure a safe and healthy dog. We also have a wonderful fenced in backyard with plenty of room for your pet to stretch their legs and can provide a 30 min on leash neighborhood walk as well. We do crate at nighttime for the safety of the dogs. Due to work schedule, responsibilities at home (children and pets), multiple Rover requests with same times, I do have a 30-60 min window on drop in times but we will attempt to stick as closely to the requested time as possible. We do offer 15 min drop ins for a reduced price- just ask us about it! We have a large fenced in backyard and 3 dogs who can keep your puppy company. We do have small children who love pets so we would like to host dogs who do well with kiddos.

About: I love animals and have had/do have multiple dogs and cats. I am very playful, attentive, and can take them on long walks and other pet related approved services etc. I work a remote job that offers very flexible scheduling so I am very reliable and can work there if needing to attend to the pet or can do check ins whenever. I have two friendly cats that can stay in the downstairs portion of my home with a cat. A dog would not work at my home unfortunately, but u can watch cats and dogs at your home.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats ever since I was a kid, and have always loved looking after them! I have also had experience in pet sitting for several people over the years! My experience includes cats and dogs, both big and small! I currently only work three days a week at a local urgent care, so I will have plenty of time to care for your furry family members. I currently have one dog and two cats in my home. We do have a small front yard, which my dog loves to play in. However, it is not fenced in.

About: I have always been hesitant to leave my pets at a boarding facility so I understand wanting to leave your fur baby with a loving caretaker that is going to give them the attention they deserve! My entire life I have had pets in my house, so I have plenty of experience with animals such as dogs, cats, ferrets, bunnies, and chinchillas! I am a full time Ultrasound Tech. My work hours are 7-5:30 and off on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My husband gets home at 5PM and is able to help with care as well! Weekend trips are perfect for me but if you need care through the week, it still works! I have a corgi and 2 kids ages 3 and 6! I also have two cats but they can be separated from the dogs easily if your dog hates cats! (the cats have the whole finished basement) I have a large yard for your babies to run around if they are trained to come when called. If not, I have no issues bringing them outside on a leash!

This is our 2nd time entrusting our beloved dog (and house) with Lucas. He is such a good caretaker! We were out of the country for a week over spring break and we received updates with pictures at least twice a day! Already planning a future trip and will rebook.

Lexie did a great job with our three crazy pugs. She showed up when she needed to and actually spent time with them like we requested. They are very emotionally needy dogs that need attention, and one has a bit of separation anxiety. So spending time with them as a dog sitter is very important to me. It was clear they liked her!! She sent plenty of pics too which I loved. And she’s very responsive!!
