Stephanie was fantastic! Incredibly professional, knowledgeable, great personality and took absolutely incredible care of our active Aussie while we were away! She kept us updated with photos and videos and left the house and guest room immaculate! Cannot say enough positive things about her and I recommend her without any hesitation! She is hands down the best of the best!

Five stars is not enough Leanne is a godsend. Our sitter canceled after we were 7 1/2 hours away. We were stuck with no one to care for our pup. Luckily, I found Leanne and she most graciously agreed to do it at the last minute. We got daily updates and our pup came home happy and healthy. I would recommend her to anyone worried about leaving their pet.

I reached out to Daniel with extremely short notice. He responded very quickly. He came a hung out with my puppy Moochie who is still crate training, teething and an overly curious baby. I felt very comfortable leaving Moochie with him because he works at the vet hospital and actually cared for Moochie like two weeks earlier when he had a sore butt from a vaccine. Daniel sent me a few pics during his visit, which I always love. He came and left at agreed upon time. My extreme anxiety was put at ease. 💕

Erin did an amazing job watching my dog while house sitting for two weeks. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my dog’s well-being. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a house that was just as I left it. It gave me real peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands while I was away. I’d absolutely trust Erin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.🐾🎉

This was our first time boarding our Misty with Lori, and to be sure, we will want to book her the next time we need to board her. We never live the idea of being away without Misty, but Lori sent wonderful communications and pics, even video of our Misty playing with her own cutie-pie, Benji. Lori's thoughtful, warm touches really eased the stress of being apart from Misty for a few days.

About: Ever since I was little I have been taking care of many animals. I grew up with a cat, and my family adopted a dog five years ago that I helped train! Aside from that, I’ve had chickens, goats, and ducks! I’m a recent college graduate working retail shifts typically at night. I have a flexible schedule and if needed can change things around in order to take care of your pet. Understanding that my presence is different in the pets home, I prioritize making sure they are comfortable with me there and not scared. I aim to make sure they are taken care of and not stressed out in their own home.

About: Hi, I'm Christie! I've taken care of animals from a young age and currently have 2 family dogs that I care for often. Friends, coworkers, and neighbors have trusted me to look after their dogs/cats when they were away as well. I've always felt a special connection to animals and I would love to care for yours! Given the opportunity, I assure you your 4 legged family member will be treated like my own. I am currently working nights part time, beginning at 4 or 5 pm, 4 nights a week. Typically I work these hours on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. I will take your dogs for however long a walk desired, bathe, feed and play with them. If they have any special requirements or preferences let me know and I will do my best to make them happy and comfortable! Please reach out with any further questions and for a face to face meeting. Looking forward to hearing from you!

About: I’m active duty military and my husband is retired military. We have two bengal cats and a yellow lab. I’ll take great care of your pet and am very accommodating for any special requests. I won’t show up feed, clean and leave. I will make sure they get their interaction and play, just like I would want for my high energy pets. *Doggy day care: rate based on a full day, please reach out for shorter time as Rover doesn’t allow to adjust per hour. If you have any questions, or special requests please let me know. Thank you. 😻 I work from home and can attend basically anytime at a reasonable distance. I’m a cat person but love dogs too. Overnight stays: accommodations under construction I am able to come to your house and attend your pets. Depending on the circumstance, I may or may not be able to stay overnight. Please inquire. Special pricing for military!!!!

About: I have had two dogs that we adopted as puppies, one was a small dog and the other is a medium bully breed. I also have experience with cats via friends and family. I used to dogsit for my neighbor’s senior dog as well! I love all animals of any size, breed, shape, etc! :) I am recently graduated from my master’s degree program and am currently working a couple nights a week as a server. I am in the midst of my job search, so I have a lot of flexibility right now! I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with a park close by and the salty bay for them to sniff, and I also have experience with difference types of houses/yards when it comes to client’s homes.

About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my life since I was 8 years old, and now I'm 20! My dog is 13 years old, and caring for her has taught me so much about patience and responsibility. She takes multiple medications, so I'm very comfortable with medication schedules and making sure pets receive the care they need on time. I've also looked after other pets for family and friends like my friend's 3 cats, Rocky, Pepper and Sage, during school breaks, and the cutest dog in the world, Abby. These experiences helped me become confident caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs!! I truly love spending time with animals, cuddling, playing, keeping them company, or just making sure they stay active and happy. I'm an outdoorsy person who enjoys hiking and walking, so I'd be happy to take your dog on walks and adventures if needed. I'm reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding and following special instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for! I’m planning to have an internship, so I’ll be working full days but will be able to periodically check in on your animals!! I love to play and spend time with them, and you can trust they’re in great hands! My puppy is 13 years old, and is on many medications, has specific feeding times and diet, but she still loves to play and go on walks! I’m super organized and take very good care of her.
