“Melissa took amazing care of our dogs for the long weekend. She sent pictures and when we returned the dogs were happy and the house was tidy so we couldn’t have been happier!”


“Grace is excellent! She is professional and timely. Great communicator. She kept us updated multiple times a day. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house. She truly went above and beyond! Highly recommend.”


“Kaycee was very attentive to our 3 Saints. We don't go away much due to Boris having seizures, but Kaycee took the time to spend with us to go over all of his special needs and to learn what he needed in case he did have a seizure. Thankfully, Boris did not have a seizure and all was well. Kaycee stayed at our house with the 3 of them and ensured they were taken care of in our absence. Thank you, Kaycee and the 3 of them are missing you.”


“Kristina was outstanding. We have 3 dogs & 2 cats that she sat for, for over a week. She kept me up to date with pictures and notes every single day. She took out my garbage, brought up the bins, brought in mail,& left a detailed note when we returned about each pet. I think they’re all going to miss her, so I’m definitely hiring her again. It’s a great feeling to know someone is loving on your pet while you’re away, & I had total peace of mind my entire vacation thanks to Kristina.”


“Byron was great to my two dogs. I’m especially surprised at how well my girl dog liked him because she doesn’t normally warm up to men. But he has a way with dogs to make them feel safe and loved even from their first meet. I was gone for 4 days and Byron stayed at my house. He was polite, respectful and amazing to my doggies. He sent me pics and videos and I could clearly see how happy they were. Byron is great at communicating and helping out in any way possible. We will definitely be a repeat client! Thanks Byron for taking such good care of my babies.”


“Ava showed exceptional care while dog sitting our two large labradors. She was attentive and kept us updated with texts and photos throughout the day. She lived at our house for five days and four nights while we were out of town demonstrating her trustworthiness and dependability. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable pet sitter and will definitely use her services for future pet care needs.”


“Monica was very accommodating to our special requests and spent lots of time at our house with the pets. She sent lots of pics and messages to let’s know all was good. She took great care of our Saint Bernard, cat, and house. We will definitely be using her again for future trips!”


About: I have been relied on by my friends and relatives to take care of their dogs for 15 years. They have trusted me to watch their home and their dogs when they need someone. I have some experience administering oral medicine (pills) to dogs. Currently, I am available most times and days for pet care. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am possibly not available from about 11:30am-2:30pm because I walk my sister's puppy then, but it is only when she needs me. I will happily visit or stay at your home to care for your pet. I am great at following directions and will happily do whatever you need me to do to care for your pet how you want me to or how your pet is used to being cared for.


“Diana was great! We were nervous leaving our dogs as we’ve never left them with anyone but family, and she made us feel at ease right away. She sent photo updates, and answered any questions I had very quickly. Highly recommend!”


“Molly was absolutely wonderful with both of my elderly dogs! Bosco and Lola don’t normally warm up that quickly to a stranger but Molly has such a great energy about her. She even sent me pics of my cat even though she didn’t get paid to take care of him just so I knew he was good. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”


About: I have taken care of all ages, but my specialty is seniors. I am great with furry friends that love a strict schedule as well as those that go with the flow. I am great at hiding icky medicine in their favorite foods. I am also active and would love to go on walks or play fetch with the energetic babies. I truly enjoy pet care, and at this time I am available on the weekends and an odd Friday. I am able to pop in for check-ins and potty breaks or stay full time. I am great at following instructions for your pets care. I always clean up after watching fur babies and try to leave the place better than I found it. I bring my own food most often as well.

“Carolina demonstrated great care of our hound and followed all instructions during her stay. She sent regular updates and communicated clearly throughout. Returned home to find the dog happy and the house in order. She even flicked on the outside lights before leaving. Highly recommend!”


“Amber was incredible with my pets and home! She is trustworthy, attentive, kind, and super knowledgeable. She took fantastic care of my dog and cat and took picture updates, plus, they were happy and healthy when I got back! So nice having ease of mind with someone so wonderful. I would recommend her to all and already booked a second stay ♥️🥰”


“Michaela has been fantastic to work with. From the get-go, she was quick to communicate and respond. She promptly agreed to a meet and greet. She was wonderful in person and my 2 dogs took very well to her. She provided in home, overnight care and provided updates and photos. Will 100% work with Michaela for future needs.”


About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for over 10 years. I have provided check-ins, feedings, medications, general pet care and playtime. I also provide dog walking. I love all animals and providing them with love and kindness. Currently, I have open availability and am able to provide care upon request. I'd love to make your pet a part of my daily routine. I provide in home services creating less stress for your pet. I'm available for check-ins or longer visits. I offer a calm, loving presence making sure your pet is safe and looked after.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12, and over the years I’ve looked after everything from cats and dogs to goats, turtles, frogs, and more. Animals have always been a huge part of my life I genuinely can’t imagine life without them. Some of my earliest memories are of my first dog, who I grew up with from the time I was two years old until she passed away at 15. As she got older, I helped manage her joint pain and ear infections, so I’m very comfortable giving medication and providing special care for senior pets. For the past few years, I’ve been working through Rover, where I’ve built a reputation for delivering high quality, compassionate care. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or special medical needs, I always go the extra mile to make sure pets are happy and healthy. When it comes to cats, my experience runs just as deep. I started fostering kittens when I was 12 and have been helping rehabilitate feral cats ever since, getting them ready for their forever homes. Right now, I share my home with two amazing cats who mean the world to me. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s a huge part of who I am. I’m currently taking a break from university and plan to return next year. In the meantime, I do Rover full time, which means I’ll be with your pup throughout the day! My schedule lets me give plenty of time, attention, and care to your pet, making sure all their needs are met and they always feel safe and loved. I’m dedicated to giving your pet the best care and making sure their well being is always my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and since I work from home doing Rover full time, I’m with the pets 24/7. Your dog will never be left alone or unattended. I also have two cats, but they’ll be safely tucked away in my room with the door closed, so there won’t be any interaction unless you specifically tell me it’s okay. For dogs who are crate trained, I have both medium and large crate options available. If your pet needs medication or any special care, you can feel confident knowing I have plenty of experience and will handle everything with attention and care.
