“This was my first time leaving my dogs in the care of someone who is not a family member. I couldn't be happier with the care they received. Tracy kept in contact with me and took great care of my dogs. I highly recommend Tracy.”


“Brooklyn was able to help me out last minute and was great. She paid a lot of attention to my dogs and they really liked her. She communicated well and was fully invested in making sure my dogs were well-taken care of while I was gone.”


“Brianna took great care of our fur babies. Followed all directions and asked questions when things werent clear. She let me know whenever she was leaving the house and when she was expecting to return.”


“Lisa gave great updates, followed my dogs’ schedules properly, even cleaned up some messes which I am so appreciative of! She gave them lots of love and care! She was great!”


About: I have taken a wide variety of dogs from a Chihuahua to a German shepherd. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, give medications and play with their dogs. I have also stayed overnight servers different times. This has given a wide variety of experience with different cares and types of dogs. I am currently looking for part time summer jobs. I am fairly flexible and could work a variety of days and hours. I am able to pick up jobs at a short notice. I have a two weeks I would not be able to work but am free the rest of the summer. I am not currently in an apartment that would not suite dogs. I am comfortable and have experience with pet care in the home. I would be able to stay or night or visit throughout the day. I can walk, play and crate dogs if needed.

“Bree was wonderful! And most important, Sophie was a happy girl and well taken care of. Bree’s experience is such a plus and, after just a short time, we felt comfortable and assured that Sophie would be in good hands. We will definitely use her services again.”


About: Our three beloved dogs of 15 years are now gone. We are eager to help care for your fur babies when you need someone to do so. We are care and comfort providers! Through Rover we have had over 40 four legged friends come to stay! I work out of the house 20 hours a week. I am able to be home and around for all potty breaks, play time, and walks! My husband is home in the evenings for snuggle time! I have a fenced in yard, three cats, and one rabbit. They are all current on their flea meds and shots. I live in a great walk friendly neighborhood as well.

“Alydia did an amazing job watching our pups. She went above and beyond with everything that was asked of her. Great communication as well! 10/10 recommend”


“Rachel was amazing! We needed to find someone within a week and Rachel took time to correspond with us and come out to meet us and our fur babies. She was very attentive to the pups and how they were responding. She made sure she knew their schedule and asked questions about each of them to understand them individually. I've never left my dogs with anyone other than family, and Rachel made us feel at ease. We even received updates and pictures while away. We feel very lucky to have found Rachel and will definitely book with her again!”


“This was our second time having Tonie watch our animals and I appreciate her SO much. I’m protective of my lil babies, especially having a pupper with particular needs and allergies. She handles our concerns well and adapts when needed. I know my animals are safe in her care. She also is very communicative, which I appreciate! We will continue asking for her support when needed!”


“Great in home sitter. Very attentive and responsive to our dog's needs. Regular communication and updates. We were gone for 2 weeks and felt very comfortable the entire time leaving our pup with Sami. Would book again.”


About: Let me care for your loved ones while you are away, so you can rest at ease and enjoy your adventure with your family and friends. I love being on the move and having a variety of tasks. I love helping to build a strong community as well in this area. Pets are important family members, and I believe owners should know they are valued as such when they are away. I have been an educator for almost 20 years. I have taken teams on international mission trips. I have travelled to many countries and lived in many different places. I am a responsible adult ready to help you and your family by providing you pet sitting/walking services.

About: I have taken care and dog sat for people in my family for about 2 to 3 years and they are very energetic dogs. I am used to being very involved with the dogs I dog sit. I do have a job but I only work Wensdays, Fridays and Saturdays ranging from times of 4 to 7 hours. But the rest of my days are free to take care of your animal to the best of my ability. I do work about 16 hours a week but that is all, all my other time will be spent watching and caring for your pet. I would care for your pet like it was mine. I would take very good care of your animal, treating it with love and respect. I would take your rules very seriously and follow them to a T.

“I was incredibly hesitant to use another sitter from Rover after a terrible experience the last time but I took a chance with Brandi & Luis because the second I met them during our meet and greet I felt like they would be different and I was right! They were the BEST decision I made for my two doggies! They came right in and actually said hi to my dogs and showed so much interest in them and seemed to love them instantly! They worked with my schedule to do exactly what I needed and stayed at my house the entirety of my time away. I used them over the Fourth of July and one of my dogs does not do well with fireworks so I felt awful leaving her but she couldn’t have been in better hands! They stayed with her the entire time and followed my instructions down to every last word. They sent frequent updates with pictures and there was not a second I was worried my doggies weren’t being loved! They spent their time relaxing on the couch with them just like they do when we’re home and I know they took the absolute best care of them! I can’t wait to use them again if needed and I know my dogs will be THRILLED to see them again. I can’t speak highly enough, this was without a doubt the best Rover experience I’ve had and now I don’t ever want to use another dogsitter because I don’t think you can do better than Brandi & Luis!”


“Lydia didn't exceptional job watching our dog, Fiona! She was very helpful when I needed to extend our trip and have her watch Fiona longer. She did a great job with Fiona!! We will definitely be using her services in the future!!!”


“Natalie did a great job watching my 2 pups while we were out of town. She was so sweet and kind. My dogs felt comfortable with her right away. She communicated well with me regarding my dog’s needs and sent me a few pictures and updates while we were gone. Definitely would recommend Natalie for your pet care needs.”

About: I’m currently pursuing my education with one goal in mind: to make a meaningful difference in the lives of your beloved fur babies! Whether it’s training energetic puppies or giving extra love and care to senior pets, I’m here for it all. I’ve been caring for animals since I was just 4 years old, and with my Bachelor’s Degree in Biological Sciences—concentrating in Ecology—I’m excited to bring both heart and science together to provide the best care possible. Making tails wag and pets feel safe is truly my passion! I’m currently available on weekends, which means I can dedicate lots of quality time to caring for and playing with your fur baby! Now that I’ve finished college, I also have plenty of free time—perfect for early morning potty breaks, training sessions, fun play routines, and even overnight visits with attentive monitoring and late-night potty runs. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my top priority! I have spare crates available and two sweet pups of my own who love making new friends! With plenty of toys and regular trips to public parks, your fur baby will have lots of enrichment and playtime. My apartment even has a doggy-gated play area where your pup can run around safely and freely! For added peace of mind, I’m fully prepared for emergencies—I can crate when necessary, and I use doggy seat belts for safe car rides. I’m also CPR-certified and have hands-on experience with syringe-feeding medications if needed. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority!

“Kara watched our fur babies at our place for two days! She was professional, polite, and knew what she was doing! I definitely recommend her the next time you have to go out of town!”
