“Laura was great! Made sure to give us frequent updates and called if there were any concerns. She was a total lifesaver when it came to coming down to take care of our pups. It was also very nice of her to tidy up the house for us before she left as well. We definitely recommend having Laura help out with your fur babies!”

“Jeffery is absolutely terrific!! We have utilized his services for 2 years now. He has not only cared for our pet, but has also been our house sitter during our trips. We have found him to be a trustworthy and honest person who provides much love and attention to our fur baby. Our pet is a family member whom we love dearly and had a tough life prior to adopting us as his new family. Due to that, we were very concerned with finding someone who would provide the same type of love and attention as he receives from us. I am very happy to say that Jeffery has provided all of that to our pet and can ensure that he will do the same for your pet. I can't thank him enough for helping us to enjoy our time away, by caring for our pet in a way that allows to relax, knowing that he is in good hands.”

“Vanessa was a great sitter for our two Dalmatians! She was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures which really put us at ease as this was our first time ever having a sitter for the boys! 10/10 would recommend her ❤️”

“Definitely will rebook in the future. Took great care of our two girls. Sent pictures, house was left just the way we left it and wasn’t afraid to reach out if necessary. Highly recommend!”

“Dawn and Steven are amazing! This was my first experience using Rover and they made the experience better than I ever imagined! They sent multiple pictures throughout their stay and put my mind at ease that my boys were happy and safe! I highly recommend them to anyone!”

“This was the first time I ever left my girl Maya alone overnight and I was a nervous wreck. Caitlin was absolutely wonderful with her and sent me updates and pictures all weekend. She was so sweet and took care of everything in my house while I was away. Absolutely recommend her!”

“Stephanie did a great job caring for my dog and 3 cats! The animals were well taken care of and she was an excellent communicator! I’ll definitely have her back to take care of the furbabies!”

“Jessye was fantastic! She provided great communication and updates while she stayed with our Great Dane for 2 nights. Our dog gets anxious when we leave, but Jessye did a good job of making him feel comfortable. Thanks Jessye!”

“A very caring and attentive sitter. We have 3 dogs and he seemed to enjoy all 3 and they snuggled and enjoyed Jordan. We can hardly wait to have him here again. ( I think the dogs will like that also).”

“I was very pleased with her as a sitter. She came over and got to know my dog and showed up on time the first day. She sent me pics and kept me up to date throughout my trip. My dog was comfortable with her. I would let her watch my puppy again.”

“Our pup absolutely loves the attention she gets from Victory!! She is an elderly sweet dog, and Victory was great giving her all the supplements she needs and attention she craves. We will use her again!!!”

About: I treat every dog like my own. I have a 9 year-old golden retriever with hip problems, so I’m experienced with senior dogs and giving them extra care they need. I’ve also helped train him, so I’m comfortable working with puppies and keeping up with their routines. I also watch my aunts dog often, sometimes for almost a week, so I’m used to carrying for dogs with different personalities and needs. Whether it’s playtime or gentle care, and make sure every dog feels safe happy and loved. I’m currently in college and take all my classes online, so my schedule is very flexible. That gives me plenty of time to focus on carrying for pets and giving them love and attention they deserve. Spending time with animals is truly one of my favorite parts of my day! When caring for pets in their own home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and making them feel comfortable. I always follow the owners routine closely so that the pet feels at ease and nothing changes too much while their family is away. I keep calm, positive environment, and give them plenty of love and attention. I double check doors, gates and feeding instructions to make sure everything is safe and done right. My goal is for every pet to feel happy cared for and secure just like they would with you.
“Amanda was phenomenal! Our little girl is a rescue 2 1/2 years ago and has severe anxiety with any change. She instantly bonded with Amanda at the meet and greet. We had to travel out of state and I never once worried about our girl and to be able to enjoy my son’s army graduation without worrying about our girl was beyond worth its weight in gold! Amanda is extremely responsible, attentive, and compassionate. Chloë Elizabeth was well cared for and very happy when we returned! The same goes for our home! She sent pictures multiple times every single day along with updates. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I grew up with a few of childhood dogs and currently I am the owner of one beloved cat. I've taken care of seniors and babies alike, with different personalities, needs and quirks. I like to learn specifically each detail of their established routine and pay attention to any special instructions for their family so that their beloved pet will be most comfortable. I love animals and look forward to care for them in each and every job. My weekly schedule often fluctuates. I tend to prefer working in pet care towards the afternoon/evenings, but I may be available for a couple of select mornings as well. I also have availability on weekends. I don't mind checking in on them twice a day as well. For dog care I am available to care for them in their own home and check on them twice a day for those who are out of town depending on the service requested. I can also transport them to a dog park or walk in town upon request. For cat care, I am available for both in-home care and also keeping them in my own home, the only requirement being that they are comfortable around other domestic cats as there are four currently in my home. Otherwise I am flexible with specific instructions/routines.

I ensure your pet gets the attention they need, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just companionship. I tailor my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs, so they always feel comfortable and well-cared for. I am a dedicated pet sitter with a passion for caring for cats and dogs. I have experience administering medications, maintaining routines, and providing extra attention to senior pets or those with special needs. Taking care of your furry friends and making sure they feel loved and keeping your cat’s environment clean and stress-free, I go above and beyond to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priority!
“Looked after our dogs and house well (even vacuumed) The house looked great when we got back Phil sent us lots of pics while we were away to give us piece of mind.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life from my own pets to pets of friends and family, which includes being responsible for them from time to time. I’ve even had prior experience staying overnight and caring for animals that include dogs, cats, and chickens. I am a full time student in law school so my schedule depends on my classes and my school obligations for the week. However, I try hard to manage all bookings I get if the owners are willing to be flexible with times! I can care for your pet by walking them, playing with them, feeding them, hugging them, grooming them, and even staying with them overnight if that makes them more comfortable while you are away.
“Cameron did a fantastic job taking care of both my home and my tiny fury overlords! He took the time to get to know them, and I swear I think they were disappointed when I came back and Cameron left. 🤷🏼♂️ Will 100% be hiring him again for my upcoming trips.”
