“Ericka was a blessing! At the very last cancellation of our previous chosen sitter, she came as a life saver! She was great with our dogs! Both dogs loved her and she was able to train them! The dogs and our house was kept! We highly recommend her and we will definitely use her services in the future!!! Thank you for all that you do Ericka!:)”


“Jordyn you were absolutely amazing. You took care of Denim as if he were your own pup. You were so patient with him. Gave him time to get to know you and to start trusting you. Thank you for the constant updates and for the kind note you left for me. I really appreciate everything you've done for us. Thank you.”


“Jacob was incredible. He stopped by to meet our boys last week. They immediately took to his kind calming demeanour. He was as very personable and kept us informed periodically throughout the day with pictures and updates on our boys. We are very thankful for him and would use him as our sitter again in a heartbeat.”


“Tony was absolutely wonderful for a 3-night homestay with our 2 high energy dogs! He took incredible care of our house and pups and kept in touch the whole time to share updates. We came back to 2 very happy dogs and our house just the way we left it. Thank you so much for helping us enjoy a worry-free getaway!”


About: I’ve had animals my whole life and love interacting with them and spending my time with them! Whether that’s just sitting around or being outside playing/walking! I’m very much an animal person! I work full time but 12 hour shifts so I only work 3 days a week. My work schedule is 7AM-7:30PM. I can wake up early to let them out and feed them and can take care of them when I get home but on my days off my attention goes to them when needed! I make sure I listen to exactly when and how the pets need to be cared for. I don’t over push the walks or the play time. I make sure if I am staying in the clients house that I keep it clean and listen to their rules and expectation for me staying. I also make sure I communicate often and keep up with updates to the clients.

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I consistently watch and/or walk 5 dogs and have experience with small and midsize pets. I currently work full-time from home and have a flexible schedule. With enough notice, I can schedule around routines and walks easily. Weekends are typically flexible as well. Currently, there is no dog living in the home so it would just be your pet(s). We allow them on furniture but adhere to whatever makes them more comfortable (ie. if they prefer crates vs. free roam, we are happy to follow any guidelines.) Smoke-free home. I work from home and will be present with them all day. We do not have a yard but I typically walk 3-4x a day.

About: My love and patience for all kinds of animals is what makes myself the go-to sitter for my community! Not only have I been sitting for 2 years, I’ve also grown and developed around many kinds of animals and would now like to expand my pet sitting journey! These past couple of years has brought me many new developments such as bunny care and assisting with 2 litters of newborn puppies. I love meeting new people and their pets! Thank you for considering me! Currently working at Home Depot, My typical week is Monday-Saturday 6am-2pm. I do not have a set schedule and may have a day off between Mon-Sat, but I work around my work schedule to accommodate your pets. I prefer to have instruction written out so I can use it as a reference. I am open to get-to-know-you visit to build comfortability and trust! My goal is to hide by yours and your pets routine as closely as possible! Communication is important to me in order to keep not only our furry friends but also myself safe!

“This was my first experience of using Rover so I was a little unsure of how it all worked but Jennifer was such a blessing to find, her knowledge and experience of dogs and rescue is invaluable. Angus was walked and played with and entertained. I was relaxed and able to enjoy my weekend away without worry. They even had an adventure with a squirrel being chased into the house !!!! Jennifer was very capable and confident and calm and was able to get the squirrel out !! much to Angus' excitement. LOL Jennifer was punctual, and left my home just as I left it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs a petsitter.”


“The best! She made sure my pup was well taken care of and spoiled with all the cuddles hehe thank you so much for helping me stay at ease when being away! Appreciate you so much!”


“Zyanya deserves 10 golden stars!!! She is the most amazing dog sitter we have ever had!! She is the best communicating with us, responsible, kind, caring and she loves our Lily so much! We have peace of mind every time we are away knowing she is staying with our pup!”


About: I treat every dog as if they are my own, learning their routines, preferences, and personality so they feel safe and loved. I have been caring for dogs all my life and it is something I take great pride in. I understand the importance of walking, exercising and proper attention to feeding schedules and water intake. Every dog is a new friend! I work from home and always have time for a four legged friend in need. Whether it be a walk or a drop in visit, my schedule is flexible. Please just message me with a time & date and we could work something out. I live in a house with a fenced in back yard, so there is plenty of space to explore outside. I will ensure your pet is leashed if there is no fence at your home as well as going on a walk. I would care for your best friend as if I was in my own home. I will ensure your pet is shown love, well fed, and appropriately exercised. Trust is a two way street along with respect and humility.

“Highly recommend Jessica. Came home to two happy dogs and a bouquet of pretty flowers. Jessica gave me daily updates and pictures. Will definitely have her watch Molly and Maibel again.”


“Samantha was nothing short of amazing! We received daily photos and videos of our baby. She followed all of our instructions. We are so happy with her! We would definitely recommend Samantha and we will be using her again the next time we go out of town!”


“Courtney was amazing. I’m the neurotic Mom when it comes to leaving my kitty Aleah and pup Anaiya. Especially when it comes to Aleah who is 16 and gets upset and hides when I’m gone. Not with Courtney. Courtney sent pictures of Aleah out and about. The morning after I came home Aleah looked upstairs I think to see if Courtney was coming down. Anaiya is just 1 1/2 yrs so I figured she’d be fine. I highly recommend Courtney and definitely will be using her again.”


“I cannot recommend Lindsey enough. Lindsey was extremely responsive, which was a huge green light in the beginning and it only became more true during her stay when taking care of our pets. We had a new puppy and a six-year-old dog and left for two weeks and Lindsey did a fantastic job watching them. She gave us updates. She was honest about things our puppy accidentally chewed. She was respectful of our house when she was housesitting and left everything neater than when she came. I cannot thank her enough for the peace of mind we will be using her in the future. thank you so much Lindsey for everything you did.”



About: I respect and love all animals. I am proud mommy of two dogs of my own. Xena and Buddy. Both are rescues. Xena is a 1 year old female Shiba inu and Buddy is a 10 year old male American Bull dog retriever mix. Once I get to know your loving family pet; they will be become apart of my family. My goal is to always do my best to learn each individual pets needs and wants; so can we can bond with each other to create a better experience. I work early morning hours, so I am available from 2pm-9pm daily; depending on the circumstances and days off I am available 24/7. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile; hope to do a meet & greet with you and your pet soon. ~Marie :) I work retail so my schedule varies. I will always update my schedule every 2 weeks to insure I will be available with the times agreed on to fit your schedule. It depends on what is asked. I usually play for a little bit so they trust me and have some comfort level, I fed them, sometimes groom them, let them outside for fresh air, walk them around a little. Give them a few treats.

Jordyn was absolutely amazing taking care of our senior dog. He needs a lot of TLC and medicine, and she knocked everything out of the park! I was so grateful for her updates and pictures. He also could have cared less that we came home, which is a true sign that he was incredibly content with her company!

Courtney was amazing. I’m the neurotic Mom when it comes to leaving my kitty Aleah and pup Anaiya. Especially when it comes to Aleah who is 16 and gets upset and hides when I’m gone. Not with Courtney. Courtney sent pictures of Aleah out and about. The morning after I came home Aleah looked upstairs I think to see if Courtney was coming down. Anaiya is just 1 1/2 yrs so I figured she’d be fine. I highly recommend Courtney and definitely will be using her again.

I can’t say enough good things about Tony. From the very beginning he was responsive to texts. When he came for the meet and greet my dogs did so well. I have never seen them be so clam with someone for the first time. He had a very calming affect on them. For the stay he had great communication, sent so many pictures and kept my boys happy and healthy. I will not hesitate to have him stay and again and couldn’t recommend him enough!
