“Karlie has been super patient with our boys who can be a handful. She is punctual and communicated well with us while we were gone. We look forward to having her help us out again in the future ❤️”


“Jennifer did a great job and our pups were very happy! She kindly dealt with us coming home in the middle of the night due to a sick child. Somehow even with our surprise entry home, the house was spotless too. Thank you so much!”

About: I grew up with dogs, I have a border collie myself. I can do walks, bathe, clean up after, comb, brush teeth, and give medication. I'm currently working to save up for Uni. I have open availability with my current job so I work outside of that. I get my schedule 3 weeks in advance and can ask for time off 4 weeks in advance. Fully depends on the family and the pets. If you have them sleep in pet beds, they sleep in pet beds, if they sleep in human beds, they sleep in human beds. It's my understanding alot of pets perfer schedules or not too much change, so I'll do my best to hold my care to the standard for the home. ❤️
“Grace was excellent! She provided updates when needed and was very helpful and attentive to our requests and instructions. We came home to a happy, healthy puppy and a clean house. All we could ask for in a sitter! We will definitely be booking Grace again! Thanks, Grace!”


About: I’ve worked in animal healthcare as a veterinary technician for nine years and have extensive experience caring for very young and chaotic to geriatric, medically complex, and behaviorally challenging pets. I’m comfortable administering medications in all forms and following detailed care plans! I work currently in veterinary medicine but am able to care for your pets after work, on days off during the week, weekends and holidays. I have many years of experience with care for multiple species and all the intricacies that come with them! I am able to continue your pet's routine care while you are away. From staying in home, walks/enrichment/exercise, feedings, medications of all routes, and more. Whatever they need to be happy and healthy until you are home!
“Mark took such great care of our dog! She was completely happy when we came home and our house was clean, packages and garbage cans brought in. We also had a few changes and he was so flexible. Will definitely be using him again!”

“Our experience with Samantha was overall amazing! The day before we were due to travel, one of our cats got very sick and our travel day was actually spent taking her to an emergency vet. We didn’t know when/if we would be traveling, but Samantha was super communicative and understanding through all of the uncertainty/changing plans. We ended up cancelling our trip, but we would love to work with Samantha again in the future. One of our cats is very skittish around new people, but she let Samantha pet her quite quickly so I was grateful to find someone Baby Grace was comfortable with.”

About: I understand the importance of routine and consistency when caring for new animals. My love for animals ensures they feel comfortable and safe while I'm looking after them. I'm extra attentive to senior animals, being able to administer medication, while also being able to keep up with the young energetic pups. My ability to handle different pets and situations makes me adaptable and trustworthy. I do work a full time 9-5 job but I am available for early morning or late afternoon drop ins or walks. I am also free on the weekends to make sure your pets are well taken care of. My fur babies are very loved and spoiled. We go on evening walks and go to dog parks on the weekends. Even my cats get to smell the outdoors and have the comfiest beds to nap on.
“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.”


About: I have worked at the animal shelter for the past 4 years when home from college and I have 4 dogs of my own at home :) I love all animals especially dogs I have a 9-5 during the week with flexible hours giving me time to care for animals before and after work. I also work remote on Wednesdays and Fridays so I am free anytime those days and weekends to care for animals. I have a fenced in yard and dogs of my own that your dogs can play with. I can also crate your dog or do any other requests that the animal would normally do in their own home.
About: I am experienced in administering medicinal injections, nail trimming and teeth brushing of larger breeds, lifting 60+ lbs, pad and potty training, and assisting senior and special needs dogs. I currently work remote and spend most of the day with my own pup by my side. We go to the nearby dog park at least weekly, go on two 20-25 minute walks (1mi+) daily, and play regularly throughout the day. He is very friendly and happy to tag along for any walks or play times, if the company is welcomed. I have a large crate available, if needed, and an in ground stake in the front and back yard with 30ft leads attached, allowing for plenty of time outside in shaded and unshaded areas. Food bowls are cleaned after every meal and pet waste is cleaned up after every trip outside.
“Jessica is great with our senior dog! It is so comforting knowing we can leave our dog and home with someone who truly cares. I’m so glad we found Jessica and we will continue to utilize her anytime we need a pet sitter.”

About: I have experiences with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I always ask for as many details about a pet's routines, favorite things, and commands/training words so that I can make transitions as smooth and low-stress for your pet! I'm not currently working, so I have plenty of time open for pet care! My schedule can vary from week to week but generally I have a lot of open time during weekdays. I maintain very open communication about how your pet is doing, send pictures at least once per day during house-sitting, and remain honest when anything happens.

“Gail has taken care of my pup-house sitting-several times and my baby adores her. She is the best and I am grateful to have someone I can trust not just with the dog but in my home. Highly recommend!”

I can’t say enough good things about Jim! He recently took care of my senior special-needs dog, and I was so impressed with his patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. Managing a pet with extra needs isn’t easy, but Jim handled everything with confidence and compassion. He took the time to understand my dog’s routines and special needs, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and happy. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter—especially if your pet needs a little extra attention—Jim is absolutely the person you want. I highly recommend him!
