“Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!”
“Heather was amazing!! She took such good care of Mac, left our home in great condition and communicated proactively. Also, we were so appreciative that she provided care for the weekend short notice (less than 24 hrs). Highly recommend.”
“Great reliable person to work with. Lots of communication back and forth between us. We got pictures and lots of updates on how the dogs were doing. My dogs were spoiled with lots of affection and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.”
“Bradley was the perfect pet sitter. He was communicative and responsive and treated my home with respect. He sent frequent updates and pictures of my cat. He even helped out when the cat went missing unexpectedly, offering to look for him and lending a cat carrier. I will be using Bradley again for sure and I recommend you use him for your pet needs too!”
“Michelle did a great job caring for our pup and home while we were away! She provided the perfect amount of updates. She was a trooper making sure Vera got enough exercise during a very rainy week. We will definitely ask Michelle to help us out again!”
“Leo was amazing with Oliver. This was a longer trip than usual and I never worried one second. I was sent updates and photos which put me at ease. Leo was sure to keep Oliver's routine including the neighborhood play groups! Highly recommended sitter.”
About: I grew up always having a dog. I know how special they can be and the attention they deserve. I'm always happy to help pups get the best care possible. I have many free days to devote to pets. I am available on short notice and always happy to help out to make things easier on your animals. I have experience with dogs that roam the house as well as crate training. I also know how to handle an invisible fence versus a solid one as well as leads.
“Evelyn was fantastic with my senior dog, and pup that can be lazy and have spurts of energy. Additionally, she was great with our cats, giving very detailed updates throughout the trip. I really appreciated the level of care, the attention to details, and the extra mile she went to ensure a smooth trip for not only her but myself. Incredibly grateful to have found her!”
“Natasha is great with our dogs and cats. she's very respectful of our house and it's so nice going on vacation knowing our babies are being looked after! Thanks again, Natasha!”
“Shantalee was great! We reached out at the last minute and she was very understanding. She took great care of our 3 dogs and was very communicative. She kept them happy and comfortable. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Linda was amazing and I would highly recommend her. Linda provided such comfort and care to our 14 year old pup, Timmy, who was just a few weeks removed from losing his 15 year old best friend, Scooter. When our flight home was canceled due to a snow storm, Linda was able to accomodate the change in plans and spend a few extra nights with him. Timmy is looking forward to spending more time with Linda in the future!”
About: Hi there! I’m Net.🙂 I’m the go-to gal of my friends and family for watching their four-legged kid - and I love that reputation. I’m here to help ease those worries of last-minute changes to your everyday itinerary or lessen stress when being cross-country on travel - I get that because being there has done the same! And what is more of a bonus for me to make another pal? Seems like a win-win situation if you ask me. For as long as I can remember, I have always been fascinated and compassionate when it comes to animals. They have always been one of my favorite things in this world. Growing up with birds, rabbits, cats, dogs, you name it - really helped that love grow and helped me to also learn how to be responsible, coordinate time management and even how to properly take care of them along the way at a young age. Fast-forward - I took the next step to wanting to know and learn more about them. So I signed myself up back in 2017 and took an online course to more knowledge and become a vet assistant where I later on finished my hours at a local vet hospital. I was taught valuable skills, such as patience in the field, restraint techniques, administering medication and the importance of detail, etc. I even have some background in doggy daycare! What can I say? I can’t get enough of these little guys. Learning everything from grooming and bathing techniques, to animal behavior of personalities and the ability to understand each animal’s needs and anxieties. Don’t forget the play! I’ll even put on a good jam for us too and break out in a dance party. Putting more experience under my belt in something that fills my soul and cup. I always say when you enjoy something you love it first, and it’s a job second. Hopefully, I’ll have the opportunity and chance to meet your dog, too! 🐶🤍 I’m currently working early in the morning, so I have a lot of downtime to take care of and hang out with your little one(s). Monday through Saturday, I’m free after 12:30pm and all day Sundays. Occasionally, I could have an extra day off during the middle of the week. Just shoot me a message! I will be more than happy to accommodate what I can. I have a whole pack at home myself. Did I mention that? Yup! Five in total to be exact. Ranging from all different breeds, the oldest is almost 13 and the youngest just turned 1. So keeping them occupied is definitely something we have adjusted and accommodated to. We have a whole fenced-in yard, a toy box that can't fit much left, walks are a very essential part of our daily life and activity, and we tend to rotate our pack in groups from going to breweries/wineries, to hikes and even events such as dog parks, farmers market and whatever else events tend to be happening at the time. If this is something you're interested in acclimating and a small dose over time, happy to bring them along with! Of course, the occasional cupcakes and cookies I make for my kids at home. Let me know if they have any allergies and I will be happy to bring a small bag over when I stop by! 🙂
“Amanda is excellent! She leaves such detailed notes and is such a good communicator. I can tell she cares for my pets and I can trust her to care for them the way I would.”
“Shannon house sat my two pups for the day. She was on time, professional and even sent me pictures of them (and I didn’t even ask!). One of my dogs is deaf so it can be challenging finding sitters that we trust. 5/5 and will book her again.”
About: I’ve cared for families pets (dogs and cats), whenever needed. This includes walks, over night stays, baths, feeding, medication distribution and potty breaks. I’m a recent kitten-mom, so I’m well-versed in this area. I’m a work from home employee (Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), so I’d love to spend time with your pet(s) during and after these hours. I enjoy going for long walks after work as well, so why do it alone! I follow all rules set by the client and will pick up all messes throughout my visit (from their pet). If their pet has a certain amount of times needed to be let out (at certain times), I follow that plan. This goes for all other orders!
“I needed a pet sitter at the last minute. Ashlie was able to stay at my home for a full 2 weeks and did an amazing job with my cat. She kept me up to date twice a day and sent photos daily.”
“Shyma did an amazing job watching our 3 big dogs while we were gone. Loved the fun updates. Shyma even went the extra mile by brushing our Husky and bringing our dog who is a little more of a lone wolf on a solo walk to the park to make sure she got some extra 1:1 time.”

When my large dog was younger, she would take him for jogs with her which helped get rid of his extra energy, so he behaved better in the house. When we'd leave for vacation, we felt safe leaving her with instructions and supplies. We would always return to happy pets, and the pets in my house are our babies too.”

Latham pet parents share their Rover experiences
Michelle was awesome. Not my first pup but I never needed a ‘sitter’ before. I tried boarding and was not happy. Never heard a thing or got any updates on how he was doing. Also their drop off and pick up times were horrible. Besides I really just wanted him to stay at home. Michelle and I messages a bit and she came to meet us and visit. That made me feel so comfortable. We spoke again before my trip and discussed a few things. Being nervous I had a 2 page instruction/information sheet. She made me feel so comfortable and not awkward about it. lol. While I was away she texted, kept me updated with how Coco was doing and sent a few cute pics! Such a great experience and I will definitely want to have Michelle come hang with Coco next time I am in need.
Shyma did an amazing job watching our 3 big dogs while we were gone. Loved the fun updates. Shyma even went the extra mile by brushing our Husky and bringing our dog who is a little more of a lone wolf on a solo walk to the park to make sure she got some extra 1:1 time.
Another wonderful dog sitting experience with Madalyn! She is our go-to sitter whenever we are away. Madalyn stayed in our home with our senior gal, Zuzu, and sent lots of pictures throughout our vacation. She followed all of our instructions, and we came back to a neat and orderly house. It helps me to relax on vacation when I know that things are going great at home! Thank you again, Madalyn!
