“Michelle was AMAZING! She treated Tank like he was one of her own. We were able to relax on our vacation knowing that he was being so well cared for. We will not hesitate to have her watch him any time we go out of town.”


“I can’t begin to share how reliable and helpful Alicia was. This was a last minute house sitting for our pup and she was so helpful and kind. She’s walked her often and sent us pictures and even helped us take our trash out while we were out even though she didn’t have to. She’s a true gem and we cannot recommend her enough!”


“Shelby is WONDERFUL with both my high energy beagle/lab mix and with my little old shih tzu. She sends pictures while I’m gone, is very meticulous with notes at a meet up and updates as well. I trust her in my home and with my pups. Highly recommend.”


“Jack and Emily took very good care of Riley. They spoiled her and made her comfortable as it took her a day or two to adjust to her new surroundings. Jack was good about sending pictures and updates. He even sent her home with a special treat. Thank you for watching her for us!”


“I searched for quite a while to find a pet sitter that my fur babies would be comfortable with. Also someone who would put my mind at ease while I’m away from them and from home. Someone patient, trusting, responsible, kind and has all around good vibes. When my fearful dog (who does not like anyone except her family circle, especially did not like the last pet sitter) was not afraid of Sydney, I knew my babies were in good hands. Sydney took care of my 3 dogs (age 7, 4, and 7 month old puppy) & 2 cats ( age 11 & 12) as if they were her own. By day 2 of house sitting, they were relaxed and cuddling up with Sydney and in their usual routine. From the start of the day, Sydney made sure to communicate with me throughout the day and send pics. I highly recommend her!”


About: A little bit about me, I am going on to my second year at MCC and after plan on joining the Air Force! I currently have a part time job at restaurant but have gotten the unfortunate news that they will be shutting down my store so I am looking to make this my full time job until the near future. I have been taking care of animals since my early teenage years starting off with a close family friend and her 2 poodle mix’s. They would be dropped off at my house around 9:00 am and then get pick up at 6:00pm. I have bathed, cleaned, and even trained some dogs (simple commands). In addition, I have also taken care of multiple furry felines and have had many cats of my own so I am also quite familiar with their needs as well. I am wanting to soon be Pet CPR and First Aid Certified. I have always been interested in pet-care I just didn’t know how to go about it until I found out about rover! I will be putting all my focus on pet-care as my full time job. Since I am just starting out I will only have weekday availability 11-9 and will only offer drop in’s and walk services at this time. I have been around pets for a long time and feel I am able to pick up on signs if anything might be wrong with your furry friend.

About: I have always been a pet lover, but my soft spot is definitely for dogs! I have experience at dog daycares and boarding facilities and sanctuaries/rescues. I am CPR certified. I have experience and patience with senior dogs, they deserve all the love too! I am currently looking to becoming a full time pet care specialist, I want to build a clientele here and build relationships with new dogs. A few things factor into this. Most importantly for me is knowing and understanding the pets current routine, following all instructions and any precautions-for pets safety and my own, then updating owner about stay/walk/visit.

“Llysia was great! She sent us pics of our babies and updates! Gave our senior dog her medication and took good care of them while we were away. We would use her again in the future and recommend her!”


About: [Free pickup/drop-off for first booking!] Rover is my part-time service to provide local owners great boarding pet care. I do have over 5 years of experience sitting for family, college friends, and neighbor’s pets and love helping pet parents feel at ease about their pet sitting needs. I have two rooms to separate my very gentle cat Pumpkin from your pet until they get used to each other. I'd love to spoil your fur baby with lots of love and am happy to accommodate them! I am always a text message away and I pride myself in taking those extra steps in being organized and respectful of any instructions you provide to ensure your pet(s) will be happy! I work from home and rarely leave for over an hour at a time. I usually start my day at 4:45 AM and am happy to space feeding and playtime schedules according to your usual routines. I have a separate room to care for your pet privately should you prefer. Otherwise they will have access to the entire home with food, toys, and companionship at all times during their stay just like my 3 year old gentle and friendly cat Pumpkin.

About: I have never had a life without dogs, so I get it! Finding a sitter you trust is absolutely essential and I am happy to provide that for you and your fur baby. Being a sitter for over 5 years, I come with lots of references and experience! From dogs, cats, rodents, birds, and exotic pets, I can care for them all. Full time pet sitter - Your pet has my attention full time so get ready for lots of photo and video updates! I know this is important I have many references that have told me I get along with their pets very easily and they appreciate the communication I provide. They also appreciate that I respect the home and leave it just as clean or cleaner than how it was when I arrived .

About: My name is jaiden, I’ve owned and trained dogs since I was 11 years old, mainly large breed dogs including pit bulls, German shepherds , and labs. I’ve been recommended to friends and family for my remarkable success with training even the most difficult dogs. My motto is patience , kindness , and consistency when it comes to working with animals and I believe that our fur babies deserve as much care and love as anyone else. I also would love to become a veterinarian after college and I am currently saving up for that. I have open availability throughout the next couple months. I do accept same day requests and I will be available Monday - Sunday at any times. Each pet has their own personality, it’s important to get to know them before going ahead with standard routines. I take my two dogs on 30 minute walks 4 times a day as well as off leash yard running time and they are fed meals 3 times a day. They have a play time in the backyard as well as rest time and this is not even half of their routines :) both my dogs enjoy different meal preparations and I make sure to make any necessary changes to their foods to keep them happy and healthy and will do the same with my clients pets

“Our dog seemed content when we returned but not overly anxious about us being back. Our dog sitter kept Diesel happy and content while we were gone. House was in good shape. Overall pleased with her assistance. Would recommend her to others.”


“This experience was the best I’ve experienced with a pet sitter! Frances went above and beyond what was expected. She took very good care of the pets. She was very attentive. She informed me every day of everything. She cleans the house she clean the patio area. I will be definitely booking again for her. 😊”


About: I’ve owned cats and dogs for about 20 years, growing up we always had Akitas as the family dog and had 3 cats at one point (one of which needed seizure medication consistently so I do have experience there). I work remotely making calls most of the day and our family dogs passed a few months ago so I’d love to be around animals again just not ready for my own right now I currently work remotely making calls most of the day Monday-Friday and can step out to make sure your pets get all the care they need, weekends I’m also available as needed. I live in a small apartment along the canal so I’m happy to take them on plenty of walks along the canal if boarding is needed

About: I have had as many as 13 cats while rescuing. And 5 dogs at a time. I love animals and would love to help your pets as I would my own. I have pet sat for friends and family and have friends who use rover. So I thought it would be a wonderful fit if someone needs help as I have in the past. I have a chocolate lab who is a big cream puff. And just lost my 20 year kitty. I kennel my dog when away for vacation and appreciate the love and care they give him. So that’s why I’m looking into rover because I understand how important it is to rely on good care for your beloved friend, dog or cat. I have flexible time and look forward to loving some pets. I have fenced in yard I have crate trained my dogs and house trained. I don’t ever think I haven’t had a successful situation I I am flexible to dog sit my house or house sit for your pet sr home. My dog is loving and wants to play in comfortable situation.
