“Eleanor was very responsible and our family felt like she was taking care of our dogs well. We got photos of them every day we were away. She was great about responding and getting in touch with any questions or concerns in a timely matter. We will definitely rebook with her in the future.”


“Danny & Jennifer were amazing! I can not recommend them enough. From the daily updates, to our specific accommodations, to the care and love they showed our cats, I truly couldn’t be more grateful for these two! Leaving our cats in the hands of someone else is very stressful, but Danny and Jennifer made it so easy for us to not worry as we knew they were in the best hands possible!”



“Rachelle is wonderful! Super responsive, very friendly and eager to help. Sent lots of cute pictures of our girl and was even kind enough to make an extra visit to confirm our auto feeder was working when I had a concern. Excited to hire her again for our next trip, would definitely recommend!”


“Danielle was wonderful! She took great care of my dog, and had no problems with both the instructions for her and for the house. (the last sitter didn't follow instructions, and set off the burglar alarm) She also sent several photos with each visit, and was excellent with communication. Heidi and I will definitely contact Danielle in the future!”


“Absolutely fantastic! She gave my dog snuggles and made her feel less alone while I was gone! It’s true that dogs and animals can read people and Clare is truly one with the fur babies!”


“We are so happy Callie was available for a drop-in visit with our 7 month puppy! When we first booked our appointment, she went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of the visit went smoothly. During the visit, she engaged with our puppy and supervised him closely, which made for a safe and a fun visit. Afterwards, she provided a detailed update, and our puppy was extra sleepy for the rest of the day. Thank you so much Callie! We know Graham appreciates it too! ❤️”


“Anna is wonderful! She’s does an amazing job with my puppy. Pepe just loves her. Anna is a great communicator and keeps me informed of how Pepe is doing. I feel very comfortable with Anna watching Pepe. She knows exactly was she’s doing!”


“Alena is so good with my babies while I am gone! She keeps me updated on everything I need to know and makes sure to send me lots of pictures. I will be using her for all future trips if she is available!”


“Heather is always so wonderful with our two orange floofs! We always feel so much better about leaving them knowing she is visiting and taking care of them each day!”



“Erin is so good at staying in the loop. Responds quickly to all questions. Was very good with both our cat and dog whlie we were away. I will use her again and again. Feels like she's part if our family now.”


About: I’ve been taking care of animals for years! I have lots of experience with different breeds and many different types of caregiving. Some of my experience includes watching two very active pit bull mix siblings. I would check in on the dogs 4+ times per day, take each one on a 2+ mile walk every day, and spend at least 1-2 hours of sit down time so they weren’t lonely. I watched those lovely dogs for 2-3 weeks at a time for numerous years! My most recent experience was taking care of Two english pointers, a rottweiler, and smaller mutt dog for 3 nights! Each dog had a separate feeding space and interactive form of eating. I made sure to follow their owners specific instructions and give the dogs lots of walks, outside time, and sit down time for 5+ hours a day! As well as the dogs I took care of two goats at that home as well! I am very capable of walking and pet sitting many different dogs. I have experience with smaller dogs like Mini poodles, to high energy large dogs like weimaraners. I will do my best to give your animals the love and care they deserve. I will make sure that they are healthy, safe, and most importantly happy! I’m currently working part time at the Sunset Country club. Even with my work I should and will be able to schedule and give your pets the best of care that includes at least 3 or more check ins per day and walks twice or more a day, depending on their needs and your request. I do not work Mondays, which makes me more free! I care for pets to the best of my ability and give them the most love and care I am capable of! Between my two households, I have 2 dogs and recently one that passed. I take care of my pets and others pets to the best of my ability and want to ensure that your pets are cared for and you trust and are confident that they are healthy, safe, and most importantly, happy! I will always adjust to you and your pets needs, so please communicate openly and fully so I can do my best to give your pets the best!

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. From Hogan the schnauzer, Misty the terrier mix to Ramsey the cocker spaniel - they were each special members of my family. As an adult, I had a schnoodle named Coco for 16 beautiful years. From puppy to senior, I did it all. I trained her, gave her nothing but love & comfort and cared for her before she passed (dog diapers, meds and all!). She was family. I’ll treat yours as family too. You’ll be able to count on me and the job will get done with lots of TLC and great communication. I am semi-retired from working in a public high school. I love giving back to my community. I thought this would be another way to do so. I realized since our dog passed away last fall, there is a void of not having a pet around. And since my time is flexible, working for Rover will check a lot of boxes! I will care for your pet and home with utmost care and safety. I will ensure doors are locked, things are left where they belong, and take extra precaution to keep the pet safe on walks or outside. I value cleanliness and being organized in the home and stick to schedules and routines.


About: I love dogs and cats equally, and will show care and affection to each one I take care of. I will also take care of any medical needs your furry friend might have as well. I would love to be a sitter, because it is fun and exciting to meet new dogs of all types! I had a dog and 2 cats in the house while growing up. I always take care of my pets, and will show yours the same love and care. I work Mon-Fri from 7am until around 3pm. The rest of the day is dedicated to taking care of any pets I'm watching at the time. Whenever I am dog sitting or cat sitting, I make them my number one priority! I am there to make sure they never feel alone, and to keep them happy and healthy!
