“Nevaeh was fantastic! She arrived right on time and went above and beyond during her visit. She took Mia out to the backyard for a potty break, brought her back in, spent time playing with her, and even checked in on our cats—despite only being scheduled to let the dog out. We’re very happy with the care she provided and will absolutely be using her services again in the near future. Highly recommended!”
“Stacey is great She took care of my cat, Earl for 2 weeks. Excellent communication. Earl is very timid with new people, often hiding under the furniture until they leave. After more than a week, he decided that she would do as my replacement and made some appearances! Highly recommend! Thank you!”
“Andie was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond while watching my two kitties. I could not be more grateful and happy that I booked with her, one thousand percent recommend!!!”
“Megan did an amazing job. We do not have a “typical” dog, Megan handled everything without any issues. Anxiety, Medication, accidents ext. She definitely exceeded my expectations. Recommend Megan 100%”
About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes ranging from weens to rotties. I have experience training puppies up to 2-ish years on basic commands, crate training, and socialization. I dont mind spending time walking around the block, throwing the ball for extended periods of time, or lying next to them for a period of time so that they feel loved, heard, and cared for. I do not groom. but if doggo needs a bath or brushing, I can give them a bath and brush. Our family is a poodle family, so I know the importance of keeping up with brushing. I also have cat experience. Almost 10 years ago, the Cat Distribution System of the Universe granted me Tigger, my Maine Coon. Though her, I learned how much cats genuinely better our lives. I love all furbabies and will make sure that they are well cared for when you are away. I am a teacher by day and a pet sitter by night. I am available between the hours of 4pm and 7am, with fairly open availability on weekends and holidays. I can house sit during the week while I work in the school, coming back on my lunch and planning period to spend time with your fur baby, if you are comfortable with that, also pending distance from the school. Feel free to reach out. Since I live in an apartment, I am unable to take your baby to my home. Rest assured, I will make sure that your pooch is walked (pooped and peed), loved, fed, watered, medicated (if required/needed), and safe. My priority is your baby. I treat all furbabies like they were my own, so that means they come first on my visit.
“Our dog Molly loves it when Kaci comes to check on her. What a relief it is to have someone this wonderful & reliable to check on her when we have to go out of town!”
About: I live 5 min from the airport. My family and I have always been animal lovers, and I grew up surrounded by animal love. I've always lived with pets, both dogs and cats, and therefore understand their needs and how to make them feel at home. During my care, I provide constant updates on your pet's status and keep up with changes in mood or behavior. I'm a very active and fit person, ready to play nonstop or go for long walks. I love to take care of all kind of pets. Weekend will be the best moment to get animal love in my life and also help people to have the best care experience for their pets. I have a medium size house with a fenced back yard perfect for pets to run and play. My family and I love to care animals so love will be given all the time and your friend will always be treated with the best conditions.
“Capri was the best! She was very thorough and took great care of my cat. She was very communicative and made sure to take lots of pictures for me. You can tell she is great with animals! I will definitely be booking with her again!!”
About: I love taking walks at the beach or park to watch the sunsets. Why not have a furry friend with me. I dog watch my moms husky and her pit bull on the weekends sometimes as needed. I love being home and watching movies with my kids so why not have a sweet dog around! My pet care fits in my daily and weekly routine almost any time of day or evening! I can be flexible and accommodate anyone schedule! How I care for pets in my home or clients home would be very organized and cleaned first! Also taking them out for walks and feeding them as soon as I see them or when it’s time for feeding!
“Lauren is a lifesaver. Where do I begin? After an emergency situation and having a previous nightmare dog sitter come into my home disrespected my property and had to be removed immediately all while I was out of state, i called her at a very vulnerable time in a frantic state,, Lauren reassured me with her positivity and mindfulness. She came right away, and took care of the pups better than if I were here. I'm very type A when it comes to my puppers and she went above and beyond to ensure their safety, detailed care, and overall happiness! I almost feel guilty not wanting to post this review because she is our best kept secret!! Not only did she spend time with the pups both indoors and outside, she cleaned up (we don't even deserve you lol) You're literally an angel,, I can't thank you enough for giving me peace of mind by providing nothing short of the best care for Milo and Sunset!!!”
About: I've taken care of pets ever since I could remember. I started off watching neighbor pets and family friends pets. Then they would recommend me and I started watching other people's pets! I have had experience working at animal clinics in the boarding department for several years. I was even a vet tech for a little over a year. I have years of experience with all kinds of pets and all kinds of temperaments. I have many references if needed! I love all animals and would love to meet your babies!🥰 Right now I work 12 hour shifts on Monday’s and Tuesday’s. Wednesday’s I work a regular 8 hour day. I have Thursday through Sunday off every week unless I pick up a shift so I am very available most of the week. I am hoping I get enough clients on here that I can keep those 4 days off and dedicate it to this job and my love of animals. I live in an apartment for a few more weeks but it does have a fenced in little dog park! If I am just walking or dropping in on your baby I can do whatever you need me to!
“We brought our 4 month old Sharpei with us on vacation and wanted to spend the day at an amusement park with our human kids. We couldn’t leave him alone all day, but luckily we found Andrea on Rover.”
About: Our furry friends aren’t just pets, they are family! I I grew up with dogs and have always loved watching our family and friends’ furry animals when they were away. I know every pet is different and has different needs and I am ready to take anything on. The days will be tailored to your pet and if your pet loves to have fun, we will have lots of fun! If they prefer to lounge around, we will take the day easy. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! I work from home so I am available all throughout the day to care for your pet! Your pet comes first for us, and they will not be left alone for more than 1-2 hrs if a grocery store run or errand is needed. Besides that though, we are always ready to have fun with our pup and can’t wait to have your furry friend join in on the fun! My husband and I have a 3 year old male English Mastiff named Tank! We have a small side yard for quick potty breaks, but we also have a lovely neighborhood to walk around in that has causeway access at the end that is pet friendly and a park just down the road that we frequent daily.
“Sarah is a really grounded-feeling person. You just know she's a woman of her word. She spent more time petting the cat than talking to me during the meet-and-greet, which was totally appropriate. I trusted her right away and the pictures she sent were great - Miles looked like his normal self. I will definitely ask her again when I need someone to look after my boy!”
About: I’m patient and loving with animals of all ages. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life and have experience with potty training. I’m currently an online college student that can set my own hours and have plenty of time to devote to caring for pets every day. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of grass and an 11 year old dog and two older cats who are all friendly.

She is responsible and makes sure that our dogs are well cared for. She is great with them. She helped train our puppy. They love to see her every time she comes over. She also makes sure they are brushed out. We don’t get that level of happiness when we walk through that door from them. They love her. She is our go to sitter and walker.”
