Jayna took the time and effort to make sure Blaze was taken care of. She took care of his basic needs and provided attention and play time. She ensured he was fed, had access to clean water, and ensure he had his necessary bathroom breaks. Strongly recommend Jayna for any type of dog care service!

About: Hi! I am an experienced and dependable pet sitter with several years of hands-on experience caring for domestic (dogs & cats) and livestock (goats, sheep, swine, cattle, equine & alpaca) animals. I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds and sizes of dogs—from small dogs (Chihuahuas & French Bulldogs) to medium breeds (Australian Shepherds & English Bulldogs) and large breeds (Pit Bulls, Rottweilers & Mastiffs). I also have experience caring for cats of different temperaments. I am comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and giving cats the space or attention they need to feel safe and relaxed. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I am attentive, patient, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. Whether it is walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m here to provide reliable and caring support. I’m currently a student and available for evening walks as well as weekends. I’m flexible and committed to clear communication to find a schedule that works best for both of us. You can count on me to be reliable, responsive, and accommodating to your pet’s needs! I have two pets at home: a 5 year old neutered male domestic shorthair cat and a 4 year old spayed female mastiff. My cat is friendly around dogs and has some experience being around other cats as well. My dog is a recent adoption, so we’re still getting to know her personality and behavior. So far, she’s been doing well around cats and continues to adjust nicely to her new environment.

Mackenzie is an exceptional cat sitter! From the moment we first contacted her, her communication was outstanding. She was incredibly responsive to our questions and updates. Her punctuality was also remarkable. She arrived exactly when she said she would for every visit. She made sure that our two cats (they are really shy) were well cared for and happy. We truly appreciated the regular photo updates of the cats during each visit. Mackenzie went above and beyond, and it's clear she genuinely loves animals. We wouldn't hesitate to work with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter :)

About: I recently moved to the United States from another country and am currently studying English. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had both dogs and cats and truly understand how much they mean to their families. Back home, I have a senior Yorkshire Terrier who is 17 years old and still in good shape and decent health for her age. Caring for her has given me a lot of experience with senior dogs, patience, and gentle attention. I know how important routine, comfort, and love are. Being away from my own dog makes caring for other pets even more special to me. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm retired and studying part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and lots of time to spend walking, playing, and giving pets attention they deserve. I live in an apartment with a secure building and quite environment. My home is calm, clean, and safe. I ensure regular walks, playtime, and supervision so pets stay comfortable and well cared for.

Adrian was amazing! On time and followed care instructions to a T. I’m nervous to trust anyone with my pets and I’m so happy I found Adrian. They also sent pictures to show how much fun they were having and it put me at ease to see them having a ball. I will be booking with Adrian again whenever I need a dog sitter! Thank you so much for your care of my fur baby and I can’t thank you enough!

About: What sets me apart from other pet owners and sitters is that I had to teach my dog sign language since he was born deaf I’m self employed so my work schedule is ideal for this and those needing a regular dog walking service. Morning, afternoon, or evening all work for me My dog at home has his own carrier and frequently travels with me, but at home he has freedom to roam as he pleases and enjoys walking around in our neighborhood

I have three very picky kitty cats. I set up a meet and greet with Sara knowing full well that all three of the cats would scatter and she might not see them at all that day. Boy was I wrong instead of running two of them came to the door to greet her. The third cat didn't run away and even let Sara come pet her! I think it is safe to say that Sara does have some magic or charm that my kitty cats fell in love with. I felt secure and safe having her taking care of my cats, going above and beyond even. I felt at ease giving her the key to our house knowing everything would be okay. I also love using Rover because that is an extra measure of protection for my home and pets. Thank you Sara and Rover!

About: Hello there! Thank you for taking the time to look into me as your next care taker! I have over 2 years as a sitter and even have 2 pups of my own. I have also rescued a dog and a cat from shelters and sent them up to new families as well! I love any and all animals at any age and can’t wait to meet yours! I am also in the navy so you can count on me being honest and reliable! I am available most days after 2 pm when I am off work for walks or visits. Weekends I am able to stay at the owners house to watch the furballs if needed! I enjoy things like running and walking myself so that’s always easy for me to do with dogs! Having 2 dogs of my own I know how to administer meds and feed, let out/walk on a set schedule. When I am sitting the dog has my undivided attention. Plenty of playing and pets.

I had a great experience with Sara. She was very responsive from the start, which made communication easy and stress-free. She also took the time to come by for a meet and greet beforehand, where she asked thoughtful questions and took notes to make sure she understood everything the pups needed. She was incredibly kind and attentive, and it was clear my dogs really enjoyed spending time with her. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her to others and will absolutely be using her again in the future!

Kelsey was incredible! She was so kind and communicative with me about my kitties and any issues that arose (for example, my automatic litterbox got stuck and needed to be manually reset). I can tell she truly has a deep love and respect for all animals. One of my cats is very shy usually but by day 2 he was coming out to see her for treats and toys during their drop in! I came home to happy and healthy animals and Kelsey was even kind enough to bring my Amazon packages inside. This was a great experience and I’ll be using her in the future again for sure!
