“Janet was once again great with Kiwi (second time we hired her). Kiwi had been spayed a week and a half earlier, so she had to wear a “donut” around her neck to keep from licking her stitches and wasn’t able to go on a walk or run around. Janet did a great job of playing calm and engaging games with her and keeping her happy. We loved getting pictures and a summary of their time together. We highly recommend Janet!”
“Tanya was an excellent pet sitter, she even accommodated last minute changes to our travel itinerary, which was extremely helpful. We will definitely be using Tanya again for our dog sitting needs.”
“Nicole was great! We had a last minute cancellation from someone else and she accepted the job with less than 24 hours notice. It was nice knowing my pup was in good hands!”
“Iwonka has been a great help to us while we are adjusting to a new puppy! The days we are all out of the house, we know we can count on her to come take care of our puppy. She provides great feedback, cleans up puppy messes, and has been always available when needed. Thank you so much!!!”
“Natalie has been absolutely fantastic with my four dogs. She handles them all with no problem at all. She is responsible and flexible with schedule changes and that has been a big help as my work schedule does fluctuate. The dogs just love her and we feel very fortunate to have her as our daily pet sitter. I would strongly recommend Natalie if you are looking for peace of mind when it comes to having someone trustworthy to care for your pets.”
About: I have been a pet owner since I brought my first dog home at 12yo and told my parents "they said we could keep her overnight to see if we liked her. We currently have three dogs, and my roommate has two. I truly believe that people don't deserve dogs, they are the best! I decided to take a break from working full time, and this is my only job right now. Coming from working 12 hours a days, I understand the guilt that come along with that for pet parents. I'm happy to step in where you can't! I'm used to working with an array of dogs, big and small along with those that have special needs, like my own. I will take whatever precautions necessary, and follow all owner guidelines.
“Katherine was great! She was always quick to respond and did a great job taking care of my anti-social cats who normally don’t like people. My house was clean and my cats were happy when I came back from my trip. Definitely recommend!”
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Chloe, our incredible cat sitter! She took care of our beloved Scout and our son’s cats, Sokka and Katara, with such love, attention, and professionalism that we felt completely at ease while we were away. Chloe went above and beyond, ensuring all three cats were not only fed and cared for but also showered with affection and playtime. Her daily updates, complete with adorable photos, kept us connected and reassured that our furry family members were in the best hands. It’s clear that Chloe genuinely loves animals, and her warmth and reliability made all the difference. We’re already looking forward to booking her again for our next trip. Thank you, Chloe, for treating Scout, Sokka, and Katara like your own!”
“Julie was terrific with our dog - who is slow in getting comfortable with new people. Really appreciate the time she invested in getting to know our pup & the excellent service.”
“Mary was awesome. I was very comfortable having her take care of our dog. That day had some inclement weather and she checked in to see how Kane does in the rain. He was a very happy boy when we got home, we will definitely use Mary again!”
About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs in the form of walks and playtime and My uncles dogs I have stayed in his house and cared for his dogs for up to a week previously. I work part-time and the days I work are Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and everyday except Wednesday I work for only 3 hours so I would have plenty of time in the day to take care of your pets! I can not have pets in my home, but the pets I will take care of at your residence will be taken care to the best of my ability and I will meet all your requirements of care.
“Natalie was great. She truly loves dogs and we are so grateful she was there to take care of Buddy when we were on vacation. Thank you Natalie! Buddy is doing well because of you.”
“Miranda was fantastic. She stopped to meet Zelda before the scheduled walks. She kept me updated and everything went perfectly. Zelda feels comfortable with her already and they get along great. Highly recommended!”
About: I have been a fur mama for 13 years, but have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I love BOTH cats and dogs! I have two of each—along with a turtle, so I am not afraid of caring for aquatic animals. I have experience administering medication both orally and subdermally. So I am not afraid to do either. I would love to help take care of your baby in any way! I currently work Monday-Thursday. I am available all day Fridays and Sundays. And full days every other Saturday, because I work a half day every other. Can make some weeknights work, depending on the situation. I have a fully fenced in yard, so no need to worry about keeping your babies safe. Backyard comes with two super friendly dogs who love playtime with friends!
About: I’ve taken care of and have been around dogs since I was a child. I have experience with my I own dogs (Australian Shepherd, cattle dog) and volunteering at an animal shelter. I’ve worked with a variety of dog breeds. I love animals and would love to care for your pet! I am available weekday evenings after 530pm. I’m also available on weekends during the morning, afternoon, or evening. I would love to help care for your pet! I’m a kind, gentle person who loves animals and can safely work with your pet. I take into consideration how your pet is feeling and am aware of their body language. I will feed, walk, play with and maybe teach a trick or 2 :)
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.
“We highly recomment Shelly! We were away for 7 days and were a bit nervous leaving Charlie as he has anxiety when we leave him for more than 24 hours. It was very reassuring getting updates on a daily basis and we all loved seeing the pictures of our 2 pups that Shelly took! We came home to 2 very happy and healthy dogs! She is professional and you can tell that she loves what she does. I will definitely hire Shelly again! Thanks Shelly!!”

Wyatt V.
“Wyatt is beloved by our pups. When I tell the pups that Wyatt is coming over, they know who he is and they get so thrilled and run around wagging and yapping in the best possible way. Wyatt has been walking, playing with and feeding our pups for the past few years. He first started taking care of our pups when we had an elderly Terrier, Poppy (18 pounds), an adult Schnoodle, Lita (11 pounds), and eventually a cockapoo pup (now 2), Cooper (30 pounds). Wyatt was so good to Poppy who was blind and suffering from dementia. Poppy was always so thrilled to get attention from Wyatt. Wyatt was so compassionate towards Poppy. The sympathy from Wyatt when Poppy passed was sincere and heartfelt. Lita loves going on walks with Wyatt and though she is small, she is exuberant to go on walks with him. Lita also plays with Cooper when Wyatt comes over to play ball with them in the backyard. Cooper is probably the biggest fan of Wyatt. Wyatt is so good with Cooper who is a bit skittish and always wags his tail as he barks at Wyatt. Wyatt is always gentle with Cooper and lets Cooper smell and bark and be a weirdo until Cooper sits to get his leash on. Cooper also loves playing in the backyard with Wyatt. It's so important that the pups get good exercise and Wyatt always delivers on whatever they need. I am so glad to have Wyatt help walk and play with the dogs. Any pets would be fortunate to have Wyatt care for them.”

Christina L.
“Christina stayed at my house and watched my dog and cat for us while we were on vacation. My German Shepherd loves her and he doesn’t like everyone! She kept my home clean, followed my pet care instructions, took pictures of my babies and sent them to us while we were away. She even brushed my cat! Highly recommend! I’ve known Christina for 9 years and she is the most trustworthy person I know and she truly loves animals.”
Maddie G.
“Maddie was great with communicating throughout the entire process and was super helpful while I booked my first Rover visit. I would high recommend her to anyone!”
