“I highly recommend having Paul watch your family pet. My little Ava fell in love with him. He was thorough in his visits, gave so much affection to Ava, sent photos on walks, playing outside, and just relaxing on the sofa. This was her first Rover experience and it was magnificent. Thank you Paul!”


About: I grew up on a farm taking care of animals my whole life, and I’ve also worked at several doggie daycares, a vet clinic and a rescue. I have also done pet sitting on the side and I have experience owning rodents like hamsters, ferrets etc. When it comes to animals there isn’t a lot I won’t do! I’m currently unemployed, so I can work around your schedule and your needs! My only commitments are my own pets, but again I can work around your schedule. When caring for pets in your home I’ll play with them, take them potty, feed them, give them water or medication etc. anything your furry friend needs!

“Laura was very attentive and kind to our sweet and needy cat, Luna. Her check-ins were thorough and she really tried to engage our cat in new activities every day. She definitely has a love for pets!”


“We had the absolute pleasure of having Tabitha look after our cherished PussPuss while we were away, and we cannot sing her praises enough! From the very beginning, Tabitha demonstrated an unparalleled dedication and love for our furry family member that truly set our minds at ease. What stood out to us was not just the routine care but the genuine affection and time Tabitha invested. She went above and beyond every single day, ensuring PussPuss was not only fed and clean but also thoroughly entertained. Whether it was through engaging playtime, thoughtful cuddles, or simply talking to PussPuss, it was clear she was committed to making our beloved feel loved and comfortable in our absence. Tabitha’s communication was exemplary. She provided us with frequent updates that were not only informative but also heartwarming. The photos and videos she sent us were a source of joy and reassurance, showing PussPuss happy and content under her care. Furthermore, the video conference she arranged was beyond what we expected; seeing PussPuss respond to Tabitha’s voice and care firsthand was incredibly touching and a testament to the bond they had formed. The cleanliness and tidiness of our home upon our return also spoke volumes of Tabitha’s conscientiousness. It was clear she treated our home with respect, allowing us to come back to a serene and orderly space, with a happy PussPuss waiting for us. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Tabitha for not just meeting but far exceeding our expectations. Her love, dedication, and the extra steps she took to ensure both PussPuss and we were happy and informed were truly remarkable. We wholeheartedly recommend Tabitha to any pet parent looking for someone who will treat their pet not just as a job but as a member of the family. Thank you, Tabitha, for everything. You have our deepest appreciation and utmost respect for the love and care you provided to PussPuss. We look forward to having you care for PussPuss again in the future!”


About: I really love taking dogs out for walks, it gives me a moment to breathe and think, and by the end, they’re usually happily panting and ready for a nap. They’re such sweet little souls, and I honestly take so much pride in caring for them. Sometimes I feel like I connect with dogs more than people ! they’re just pure love in a fuzzy little body. I’ve also helped raise puppies from the moment they were born, and watching them grow has been one of the most special experiences in my life. With kitty cats I’ve fostered twins for a little under a year, one was the sweetest while the other made me laugh while he had a zommies-fest in front of me ! I work remotely and I can work from anywhere, and other than from 11 AM Ish I have one delivery to do Monday through Friday, which gives me a full availability ! I very much love cuddle bugs, however, even my own dog isn’t cuddly unless it’s on her own terms. However, I set aside time to play with her, and even on walks or else at home and make sure to tell her she’s a good girl and reinforce good behavior :3


“Rachel is communicative, caring, and kind. She does great Rover cards and photos, and she's always looking out for the little things during visits. My pup thinks she's great and so do I.”


About: People always ask me how I get my pup to be so calm and well behaved in public.(Maxi is my pup, he goes almost everywhere with me). After helping a few friends with their pups Mainly to stop chewing or pulling on their leads I decided to start dog walking/sitting Currently this is all I'm doing.I am here for you and your pets! I guarantee your Fur.Babies won't be bored or lonely When i'm on the job. Ask stated above.I have a fur baby myself friendly with all dogs! For any extended stay above eight hours You And your pup, have to be ok with him staying as well Which I carry a kettle with his dog bed

About: I’ve had dogs since I was very young and they have always been very special to me. We have a large house with a fenced backyard and two black labs with different temperaments. Whiskey is 7 and more on the submissive side, whereas Ginny is 3 and very rambunctious. Her excitement is a bit much when people/animals walk through the front door, but give her five minutes and she’s a good girl :) Both get along well with other dogs, love to play, and are prolific nappers. We also have a 9 year old son who has grown up around animals his whole life. We would love for your fur baby to join us! I am available for drop offs between 6 A.M. and pickups as late as 8:30 P.M. I do have to leave the house to drop off and pick my son up from school, but it’s not far. I will occasionally need to go to the store or run an errand, but won’t be gone from the house for more than 1.5 hours. I have a fenced yard and 2 labs to keep your dog company, plus two large crates if you prefer. We also have lots of bones and dog toys. We keep the house cleanish but do allow animals on the furniture if you are ok with that. Our dogs usually sleep in our room at night, but can be flexible if we make them.

“Alicia as always was amazing and taking care of our two boys. I got a ton of pictures every day with updates so she’s a great communicator and they absolutely love her. Well one does, the other one is learning to after almost 2 months of injections from her lol! But even this time she got him to purr, so that’s amazing to me. I just found the thank you note and the plant that she left us which was so nice and so sweet after coming back from a trip. Thank you for all that you do we definitely appreciate and trust Alicia with our kitties.”


About: I’ve had dogs as well as cats since a very young age. As well as other animals. I’m just a huge animal enthusiast and love interacting and caring for them! I do pet care daily. Whether it’s litter box cleaning, feeding, treats, playing with them. Bringing them on walks. It’s a daily thing for me! Whatever schedule or routine, I’ll ensure I do it to the best of my abilities. I have routines either my own pets so I’m sure whatever you need, I can accomplish!

About: Walks and love for all your “fur babies” here! I have a lot of animal experience after doing 4-H for several years growing up. I know cats, dogs, birds, horses, etc. Pets are family after all! I have a very flexible schedule. Trusting people with your family can be intimidating. Knowing your companion is in safe hands is important! I am happy to send pet pictures!! I have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I’m available every day of the week besides occasionally when I work at a golf course! :) Harness or collar, and leash are a must. Closing doors and keeping an eye out for little ninjas trying to run away! Gotta keep them safe

“Isabelle was amazing. We scheduled drop in's for our cat. We were concerned because we adopted her less than a year ago and had never left her for an extended amount of time. Isabelle was thorough at our meet and greet. Katniss was very shy so I was not expecting her to want to come out and play while we were gone. The first visit came and Katniss opened right up to Isabelle. Isabelle sent tons of pictures and videos with her daily updates which eased my worries. We will 100% book with Isabelle again when we need more drop in care.”


About: With over 15 years of pet care experience, I grew up with both dogs and cats, fostering numerous dogs during my childhood that introduced me to successful pet care. I have over a year and a half in the veterinary field where I focused on fear-free pet-handling and care. I work full-time, but have a flexible lifestyle that allows me to care for pets while others are on vacation or just need someone to check-in on their pets throughout the day. I spend a lot of time with not only my pets but anyone's pets, focusing on quality time and care. I will play, cuddle, or even just walk pets during my time with them as I cater their needs based on the individual personality!

About: Looking for more than just a walk around the block? My hour-long walks are fun, engaging adventures where your pup gets exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of love! Whether it’s exploring trails, sniffing out new scents, or practicing good leash manners, I make every walk a rewarding experience. Dogs naturally respond to me because I speak their language—I understand their body signals, energy levels, and what motivates them. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or in training, I tailor each walk to their unique personality and needs. With years of experience as a dog trainer, safety and communication are my top priorities. Your dog will come home happy, fulfilled, and ready for a well-earned nap. Let’s make your pup’s day more exciting—book a walk today! I am a current dog walker & trainer so I will try my best to fit you and your dog in it. We can set up a day and time that works for everyone. I work with all types of dogs big and small that are in need of some training. Maybe it's potty training, simple commands or just a calmer dog. I will show you how I have a calm dog who's willing to listen to you always


About: Hello. My name is Joelle and I have been raising and taking care of animals my entire life. From spending every summer on my Aunt's farm down in Kansas to always having a dog and cat in my own home. I travel pretty far to pet sit and your animals always get the snuggles, exercise and love that is needed and requested. I worked for a 24/hr vet ER in Seattle for 2 years and gained more experience on small and major emergencies. I can give your pet meds* including fluids and will treat your babies as if they were mine. I look forward to working with you but especially taking care of your furry loved ones. I have a lot of senior clients but also have puppies as well. Years of experience and a lots of animal love all for your babies plus your reassurrance that your babies will be in good hands. Thank you for checking me out. Always smiling, Joelle. *please note that depending on the type of medication(s) this can be an extra charge. Contact me with your situation for details I make my own schedule and mostly work from home so I can easily work with your animal's needs. I come prepared with lots of questions for you to make sure I have everything I need to make sure your furry ones have the best time ever. I always come to your home because it's not only easier for the pet to only have to get used to a new person but it's also easier for everyone involved because then you also have a house sitter at the same time. I am big about safety and will take care of any small household needs that you may have during your time away. I.e watering plants, bring in mail/packages, taking out the garbage, etc. I also request that you fill out my emergency form in case there are any issues that happen during your time away. This does not happen often (once in my 30 years see review from past client) but as someone who worked at a 24-hour vet ER I like to be prepared. I will go over everything on our first visit together when we meet and we both decide whether we are compatible with each other to take on whatever job you need filled. I do hope to work with you and especially your furry babies.

Joelle C.
“Joelle pet sat for me at my place from January 3 - 10, 2019 while I was on vacation. This was the longest I had left my dog who has anxiety. She checked in with me a couple of times to let me know my fur babies were doing good. I'm pretty sure my animals behaved better for her than they are for me. They were very happy and healthy critters when I got home. I will absolutely use her again.”
