Kendra was INCREDIBLE with our pets! She sent updates and photos and she put us completely at ease the moment she got to our house. She was so patient with our dog who is terrified of new people... she even got kisses and cuddles by the middle of her stay!!! I couldn't believe it!!! I am so thankful I found her in here and I highly recommend her!

Claire did an amazing job sitting with Grace! She kept in touch with us and sent pics. We had some issues with our trip and she was very flexible with changing the times/days as we needed her to. She even checked in to make sure that we made it home so Grace was cared for. She stayed in our home and you couldn't even tell she had been here. Would highly recommend Claire!

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors dogs for years! I have three chihuahuas and a german shepard hound dog mix! What sets me apart is my dedication to anything I do. I can promise a safe and caring environment for your best friends! As well as someone who truly cares about giving people the best service possible. I am in school and work part time! However even if my availability doesn’t align with your needs, I might still be available! Due to Rover settings I cannot put in hourly settings, but I am available certain times that I cannot put in the app. I am currently looking for a part time job while I am enrolled in school, and want to do something I love as well ! I have a fenced in backyard, as well as a doggy door so they can have access 24/7! Additionally I have a large neighborhood to take any fur baby’s on walks.

Olivia was great! She house sat our puppy and two cats. All of them had special instructions/ needs including daily meds. She did awesome with them and was very communicative throughout the booking, initial meeting, and stay. She even cleaned all the linens she used and left the kitchen impeccable! Will definitely book her again!

About: I have worked with all types of animals since I was a child. My friends would call me the dog whisperer because I just understand them naturally! I love training dogs and horses. I currently have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a flock of ducks! All of my dogs have been raised from puppies. I have cared for senior pets as well. I have spent hundreds of hours over the last several years educating myself on animal behavior for my own pets benefits so I am well equipped to love and care for yours as well! I have always been passionate about working with animals of all type. I will always go the extra mile to provide topnotch care and service. My husband and I travel often so I know how important it can be to find petcare that you can feel good about! I currently work from home full time with a very flexible schedule. I am able to come to your house during the day or stay nights! I can offer limited boarding as well. I love animals and I love travel. I would be committed to caring for your pets as if they were my own. I enjoy getting to know your pets as each one is so special. I am reliable and can accommodate just about any extra requests such as bathing, working on training skills, hiving medication, providing adequate excercise etc. I will ALWAYS do this with your pets safety and happiness as my top priority.

About: I have taken care of my family's pets since I was very young and have always been such an animal lover. I used to babysit, and when they had furry friends with them it taught me how to care for many pets with personalities. I am very patient, loving, and just want your pets to feel comfortable and safe while you are away! I am working part-time as of now, making plenty of time to spend with your animals. Since it is the summer and I am out of class, I am more flexible to fit to your schedule. I will accommodate to any of your needs for your pet as need be. If you need me to crate your pet, or keep them in a specific fenced in area, that is my job!

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, so caring for animals has been a steady part of my life for a long time. Through Paws4People and an Assistance Dog Training minor, I’ve gained experience working with dogs of different temperaments and learning how to support good behavior and calm handling. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a slower, gentler routine, and I focus on making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine since I’m currently not working elsewhere, which allows for a very flexible schedule! I’m able to do frequent drop-ins, extended visits, or stay with your pup as needed to keep them on their normal routine and give them consistent care and attention. I’m not able to board pets in my own home, but I’m happy to provide care in the comfort of their own environment where they feel most secure! Since I don’t offer boarding in my own home, all care is provided in the client’s home where pets are most comfortable and able to stay in their normal routine. I follow each pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication needs, and I can also take them on walks as often as needed. I focus on keeping things calm, consistent, and tailored to each pet so they feel secure while their owner is away. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language, make sure they get plenty of attention and enrichment, and always respect the home as if it were my own!

Raechel did a really good job with our boys. She stayed at our house and cared for our two golden retrievers ( one 4 years old and the other 6 months) for 3 nights. From the moment she walked in the house our boys loved her. She was very communicative leading up to watching them and sent good updates.

Lauren went above and beyond for my River. River got a stomach bug and was having accidents in the house while I was out of the country and Lauren took wonderful care of her, cleaned my house, rearranged her schedule and fed her homemade meals until River felt better. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Thanks again Lauren!

Emma was fantastic! Moving here from out of state and traveling often for work, it was crucial for us to find a dog sitter that we trusted to care and love for our dogs the way we do. Emma stayed at our home with our two labs the whole duration of our trip, continuing their normal routine and making them Feel loved and cared for. She sent us daily photos and videos, had very prompt communication, and even did some household duties! I felt so much relief knowing Emma was with our dogs. We will absolutely be using Emma again!!!
