“Amy is the best! She was very loving and attentive to our dog. I could tell she had great repertoire with dogs upon her meet and greet.

“Ashley stepped in after a [very] short-notice cancellation from a different sitter left us one day from our vacation without coverage for our two dogs. Sight unseen, Ashley agreed to take care of our dogs for almost a week! She was proactive about communication, sent literally DOZENS of pictures, befriended our younger dog under less than optimal conditions, and left our home as she found it. We're very happy with the job she did, and would recommend Ashley to others without reservation!”
About: I have worked with animals since I was in middle school. I enjoy being around animals and I want the best for them. I am certified and very good at what I do.

I am available everyday after 3pm but sometimes I have morning's open as well. Communication is key with me so we can work something out so everyone is happy. I have learned fear free tactics that can help with introductions and getting comfortable. I can easily crate if needed and will calm down any stressful environment.

Also, I am comfortable with all levels of training!

I pride myself in filled water bowls and happy animals! I will help keep you animals safe and your home clean!
“We ended up hiring Olivia at the last minute to watch our Australian Cattle Dog and three cats for the weekend. She was awesome! She kept in touch while we were gone, made sure everyone was taken care of, and left the house just how we left it. I even told her not to worry about the litter boxes, but she did them anyway. Little things like that say a lot. We’d definitely bring her back next time we need someone and highly recommend her!”
“This is the second time we have had Gaby watch Louie for us and once again she did a great job! She sent us daily updates, kept our house clean, and made sure we had no worries while we were gone for a long weekend.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 or 11. I have always grew up with dogs in my family household. I love caring for them, playing with them, and taking them on walks! I work full time but I’d love to walk your doggies when I am not needed at my job. I will of course try to keep any one that wants service updated on my availability. I will always treat your pets with respect and love and provide the utmost care. I will also always make sure their needs are met and that they feel safe.
“Kartik was wonderful!! He took such great care of our two dachshunds Toby and George. T+G are not always easy to deal with as they can pull or bark on walks but Kartik handled them like a pro. He gave numerous updates with plenty of pictures. Kartik was an absolute pleasure to work with!”
“Jacqueline took such amazing care of our large dog and diabetic cat. She loved them and spoiled them like they were her own. When our cat wasn't feeling well, she was incredibly communicative and caring.”
“This was Nonnie's second time with Catelyn and I just cannot say enough abut how great she is with my elderly girl. She send absolutely the most adorable pictures and videos of their time together. It is clear that she really cares for all our furry friends More importantly, she is very good at pivoting when plans suddenly change. I was planned to be gone for a week, which then became two days and she was fabulous about the sudden change in plans.”
About: I have taken care of my cats everyday since I was twelve. I also often cat and dog sit for family members whenever they need a sitter.

Caroline K.Star Sitter
“I could not be happier with my Rover dog walker, Caroline! I have two large dogs (Saint Bernard and Labrador Retriever) and finding someone who can handle both of them confidently was a challenge. From the very first meet and greet, I knew I was in great hands. Caroline was punctual, professional and clearly experienced with big dog breeds. Every walk is a highlight for my dogs. They come back happy, tired, and well-exercised, which is no small feat given their size and energy levels! I also love the updates and photos she sends after each walk - it's such a reassuring touch. Highly recommend Caroline for anyone with dogs who needs reliable, loving care!”
