Thank you thank you again!”

“Emily was a fantastic sitter for our two cats and dog. This is our second time having her stay with our furbabies and we always know they are in good hands when she’s with them. She’s very communicative and provides us updates, which is so appreciated! She’s our go to Rover when we are out of town!”
“Moriah was professional and made certain my two dogs were properly cared for. One of my babies is 16+, blind, and needy. Moriah was able to address his needs and asked questions for clarification when necessary. I am hoping Moriah will accept future requests!”
“Morgan was amazing with all 3 of my pets. I love that she came out to meet with me and the pets ahead of time. I wasn’t concerned about my cats but my dog is a rescue I’ve only had for 5 months. She is timid and if I am not there she a lot of the time will not eat or walk with only a select few people. I loved that she was happily eating and taking walks with Morgan which Morgan made sure to send proof of in pics. She brought in mail without us even asking. I would not hesitate to book her again.”
“Daniel was fantastic with our 8 month old chihuahua. Daniel sent photos and updates on our pup often. He was courteous and respectful of our home while we were gone. Our dog was clearly tired when we got home, which showed that Daniel played and spent a lot of time with him. I would definitely recommend Daniel as your next dog sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs of every kind since the summer of 2016. Family and friends have come to me to care for their fur babies when needed. I currently don’t work right now , so I’m open to most schedules that I’m given .I offer discounts to veterans and/or pet owners with disabilities as well 🙏🏽 30$ for 2 -15 minute walks per day , plus feeding and play time if needed. MESSAGE FOR RATES AND DETAILS Your fur baby is guaranteed love and absolute care 💙🙏🏽 If needed I will walk them or bathe them. If yard is fenced in, I let them out a couple times during the day, feed them at allotted times or when needed. It also depends on the level of care your pet needs
“Ryan a perfect animal lover dog/ cat sitter!!! He always kept me up to date and sent pics often;). Bruno got plenty of exercise and my home was left in perfect condition!!! I could not be happier to know my pets were well cared for and to come home to my place in order!”
“Barbara did a wonderful job watching Penny! She updated me about penny everyday with pictures and left my place just as I left it ! I would definitely use her again!”
“I felt so comfortable having Moira stay and watch my best dog, Finn! She sends photos and updates daily and goes above and beyond her sitting duty. I will be rebooking her in the very near future :) thanks so much Moira!”
“David is the first sitter we have used on Rover for our dogs and cat, while we were away for the weekend. He is phenomenal; our nervous pups took to him immediately and I got pics of relaxed, cuddling dogs - and our GSD is not typically a cuddler so this was even more remarkable. All the pets were calm and happy when we came home. He took great care of our home as well. We will definitely rebook! We are very happy with his care.”
About: I own a 4 year old black lab and 1 year old pitbull. I’ve house sat, dog walked and done a little training on my own dogs! I am currently a full time artist, selling my artwork, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am available pretty much anytime during the week and have tons of free time! I am very passionate about animals. I will tend to all your pets needs and keep my eyes on them at all times. I will make sure your pup is thoroughly taken care of!
“Nicole was great with my three dogs!! I NEVER leave my babies overnight so I was terrified, but she made me so relaxed by sending me pictures and updates. One is a senior w/dementia, age 15, so I was very nervous, but everything went very smoothly :) We will definitely be requesting her again if we go away!”
“Melaney took amazing care of my senior cat and my kitten. She bonded with them almost immediately! I really appreciated her updates and photos throughout the house sitting. I was able to focus on my business trip knowing my cats were in great hands with Melaney.”
About: With 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I prioritize making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I ensure they receive the right food as per the owner’s instructions and provide them with the attention they need to feel connected. I’m detail-oriented and always clarify instructions to make sure everything is done correctly. Whether it’s feeding, companionship, or general care, I’m dedicated to providing the best experience for your furry friends! I provide pet care part-time, mainly on weekends when I have more availability to give pets my full attention. From Monday to Friday, I may be able to stop by for walks or quick visits, but it depends on my schedule. While my weekdays can be busy, I always try to accommodate pet parents whenever possible. If you’re looking for dedicated weekend care, I’m happy to help! I prioritize a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment for every pet I care for. For client’s home, I ensure pets feel secure, loved, and well-cared for. I carefully follow owner instructions regarding food, routines, and special needs, always double-checking to make sure everything is done correctly. Safety is my top priority, I pay close attention to a pet’s behavior, surroundings, and any potential hazards. My goal is to make each pet feel at ease while maintaining a clean and stress-free environment.
“Allison did a wonderful job taking care housesitting my 2 girls this weekend. She was available and flexible with what I needed and left the house the way she found it. My dogs were happy when we came back, I would definitely ask her services again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Drew was fantastic! It was my first time using her and as I got to learn more about her I learned she is very much trying to pursue a career in taking care of animals. I have a Pomeranian, who we all know can be high strung and bark a lot. She did not complain at all about his barking and said he behaved very well. She even cleaned and washed the blanket and pillow cover I gave her to use. She obviously did my dishes too. I already plan to book her again next year. She's a great find! And very sweet!”
“Rene was great. She did everything asked of her. The best thing is that she spent most of her time at my home with the dogs! Most sitters only had a few hours they could be available through the day, and then would just sleep here. Rene dedicated her time to being here with my fur babies, which was the most important thing for me”

14. Lola K.
“Lola would be a great caregiver. She has many pets of her own, including 2 dogs, which she takes extremely good care of. She walks her dogs frequently, sometimes multiple times a day, and gives them and all the rest of her pets unconditional love. She also has experience dog sitting for family friends. I can't think of another person I know that has such a strong love for furry friends of any and all kinds. She can't stand the sight of an animal in distress, and treats any animals like they're her own children, like royalty.”
