“Ashley was awesome. She was very clear with her availability and very punctual for the scheduled walks while we were away. She's full of energy and that's what my lab needed. We will be definitely using her services again in the near future. I like that we received pictures and also showed the trail, length and time of the walks through the app. We highly recommend Ashley!”

I have a fully fenced in yard with a dog pool and what feels like a million toys! I have had dogs and cats my whole life and really enjoy taking care of them. I will keep in contact with daily pictures and good communication. I am on a set schedule for work but also work 10 minutes from home and can go home if needed.

“Cassidy was very accommodating, flexible and kind with my fur babies. It was their first time left alone all day in a very long time and my first time using the app and Cassidy was patient with my new navigation of this process and tender hearted to my lonely doggie. Warmed my heart that she sat with my girl and encouraged her to eat her meal even though she was missing her momma. I even needed to add an extra walk when my day went unexpectedly late, and this was no issue.”
“Cameron is wonderful! Very caring, loving with my pup, easygoing and communicative. I’m so glad I found someone I can trust and feel comfortable with!”
About: I completed a four year veterinary program in high school on top of being a lifetime animal lover who tries to gain as much general animal information as possible. With this I have basic skills and knowledge on how to handle dogs professionally. At college, I am my dog’s full time caretaker as well as taking care of three dogs total at home. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! I plan on working part time for the summer, but whenever I am not working I am available! My weekly schedule cannot be known until my job posts when I work but I will be able to communicate specifics. I will comply to and rules and regulations that the owners put in place for their animals. I cannot work out of my own home but am more than willing to pet sit or do drop in at the owners home, where their dog will more likely be at home.
About: I grew up on a farm and then moved on to caring for my family's pets. My love for animals grew as I have aged I am semi retired and home all day with plenty of time to be attentive to the animals in my care. They will be well looked after I live in a safe contained mobile home park where there is plenty of room to walk pets. I also have a yard and Florida room. I do work part time i do still have alot of time for your pets and time to walk and playing and petting and lying on the couch I have a Florida room whitch i call the rover room we go out and play when it's raining i keep my living room door open
“Thanks so much taking care of Quincey-sr dog and Endy puppy; different needs; feeding,walking and making sure they were happy and cared for”
About: I’m patient and attentive when it comes to animals and their individual needs. I’m physically capable of engaging in any animal-related activities, and I stay observant to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I also adapt easily to each animal’s personality and preferences. As a college student without a current job, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time throughout the day and week to care for pets. This fits well into my routine and gives me the opportunity to focus fully on their needs. I provide a safe, loving environment, follow routines closely, offer regular potty breaks, playtime, and ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.
About: I have had animals in my house all my life and have always loved taking care of them! I grew up with cats and when we finally got our first dog we were inseparable. I went off to college and got my own animals to take care of for a couple years but I recently moved across the country with my husband and we had to leave our little friends behind with our families. My late childhood dog had gotten older as I was going off to college and lost her hearing and sight, so I'm well prepared to take care of animals that need a little extra attention! I'm hoping to help people in the area out with their little family members! I love to walk dogs, play with cats, and just hangout with all types of animals. Im currently working from home and doing some online schooling. This allows me to be super flexibly for a job with Rover. I can tend to your pets needs 24/7. Because of my situation, your pet will almost never be left alone and will be well taken care of and loved! I do not have any pets of my own currently and will only be taking one family at a time. I have a huge yard outside my apartment unit and a fenced in dog park that is not too far of a walk away as well!
“Sandra is wonderful! She is very thorough and Lucy just loves her. She sends me daily pictures from the walk and updates me on how Lucy is.”
About: I have owned dogs since was 9/10 years-old, and enjoy playing with dogs and love keeping them occupied espically puppies. For puppies, I like to help potty-train them by offering treats to understand that "outside is where we use the bathroom not inside". I also pay really close attention to due to possible getting into things. I watch out for things that could possibly hurt your dog. As a dog owener myself I will treat your dog as if it was my own dog at home, giving all the attention and play time there hearts desire. I’m currently working part time so I am available during select times. I also know what it is like to need a caregiver for your pets while you are away on a business trip or just a quick get away from reality. I live in an apartment complex where everyone keeps to themselves but as for any home I would treat it as if it were my home and how I would want to make sure things are in the right place
“Always amazing to work with Deanna! She is so kind to our pets and so thorough with her work and communication.”
“Jon as been super professional and is great with our dog who is excitable and can be a handful.”
About: I grew up with all sorts of pets- dogs, rats, chinchillas, ferrets. I LOVE animals! My dog I grew up with lived to be 17. They fill my soul with joy and I will provide your pet with nothing but love, cuddles, and plenty of food and walks. I am available all summer. I do not sleep over at your house, but check in as often as possible. I plan on following all of your directions clearly and if your pet needs to be crated or gated in a certain place, I will do that. I always make sure pets are safe and healthy and away from any harmful foods/plants/etc. I am available all summer and will do my best to be flexible and as responsive as I can be. :) Mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, etc. I will follow the owner’s rules. Should the pet need to be crated at a certain time, I will do that. I provide plenty of walks and love.
About: Growing up we always had pets and learned how to take care of them. Over the years I have had two ferrets and two large dogs (not at the same time!) Recently I have been doing more pet and house sitting and volunteering for the SPCA. For the SPCA I have walked dogs of all breeds and sizes and helped with adoption and fundraising events. My schedule is very flexible right now. I am talking online classes and can adjust my schedule as needed. That frees me up for walking, drop in visits or sitting. When house sitting, I respect your home and your wishes as a guest. Share with me all the details about how to best care for your furry family members so that I can make the time you are away the most comfortable for them. Currently I am not available for day care or boarding.
“Lindy has been walking my dog each weekday afternoon for a few weeks now and she does a great job with him. He loves walking and playing with her and I know he is being taken care of every day. If you are looking for someone that genuinely cares about your pet and is completely reliable, you couldn't choose anyone better than Lindy.”

Jyana T.
“Jyana is a great choice to walk your dogs or just look after them. Her own dog is always beautifully maintained and well behaved, as well as spoiled and healthy. I trust her entirely with my difficult corgi who has reactivity towards dogs and men as well as typical corgi attitude problems. She also does very well with my cat and respects his boundaries but still loves up on him when he wants it. She is very responsible and reliable and has a great response time. She has had experience working at a vet and is studying animals. She is also very respectful and adaptable to any plans and communications.”

She checked in with me consistently to let me know how everything was going. She also shared pictures with me. She is very friendly and lighthearted and her dog Mochi is a beautiful little puppy. I'd highly recommend Michelle for any dog sitting or dog walking needs!”
Kendra N.Star Sitter
“If you're looking for someone who truly understands and loves animals from the heart — look no further. Kendra is kind, caring, and incredibly intuitive with every pet she meets. She just knows what they need, whether it's extra cuddles, a calm presence, or some playful energy. Our pets absolutely adore her. In fact, all we have to do is say her name and the tails start wagging instantly! It's like they know their favorite human is on the way. She spoils them in the best ways, making sure they’re safe, loved, and happy. Honestly, you can’t find a better person to care for your babies. She's not just a pet sitter — she's family!”

Mickey M.
“Mickey clearly loves animals and Blinx quickly became her lap cat. When I left he was not eating normally and Mickey noticed that his face was swollen. She took him to the vet for me as I was out of the country. She administered his medication and followed his feeding schedule. I can't imagine how bad his infection would have got if she had not been so attentive. She even emptied and washed his litter box. Next time I need a pet sitter Mickey will be the first person I call.”
