“I have never left our dogs with anyone but family and due to health issues we had to change our plans. I never expected to come home to the happiest dogs ever!!!! Kayla sent pictures all the time with updates and because we were on a cruise our WiFi was not good but she had known that and still sent pics so when we did get WiFi it made us so happy to see them!!! We absolutely will use her again for future trips!!!!”
“Angela is the ultimate dog whisperer! She is reliable and 100% committed to taking care of your pets. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Angela. I can’t thank you enough for easing my mind while I was away.”
About: I have always loved animals and can provide one on one specialized care to your animals. I care about the animals in my care and am willing to make them a priority. I always treat animals like my own and give them the best care and attention. These animals are like my own and deserve the best possible care without worry. I also go by Aniya as a preferred name instead of celia I’m a full time nanny during the week. And would love to care for animals during my free time! I’m extremely flexible on the weekends!

“This is our first time using rover. Karen I is an absolute angel! What a professional through and through. She kept us up to date with daily reports on how our pups were doing and got along with them perfectly. Our pups can be a bit high maintenance but no concern for Karen I. THE BEST! She took great care of our pups and our house too. The complete package ! We can’t wait to book her again! 6 stars if I could give them.”
“Susan did an exceptional job of taking care of our boy Prince. She sent photos and kept in touch with us throughout. He loves her (and he's a picky dog as far as who he let's pet and brush him). We would recommend using Susan for your pet sitting peace of mind!”
“Tatianna took wonderful care of my dog while I was out for the evening. She arrived on time, then walked him on one of the coldest nights of the year, gave him treats, and paid lots of attention to him. I will not hesitate to have Tatianna come back again.”
“Holly and Jace watched my 2 dogs while I was away for a business trip, they took such great care of them and I was able to focus on work and not stress out about anything at home. They were great at communicating with me and sent lots of pictures! When I came home, the house was clean and my pups were happy and healthy. I will definitely trust them to watch my dogs again in the future!”
“Thomas did a wonderful job with our lab. We felt she was in good hands and he stayed overnight with Willow and worked from our home during day so she had him to keep her company. We were very happy that Thomas did a meet and greet and took the time to get to know Willow. We will keep Thomas on our list to contact for future dog sitting needs.”
“She was excellent with our senior dog and took great care of her. Kept us up to date with pictures, eating and generally how her day went. I would highly recommend her.”
“Catlyn did a great job with my 3 babies. They're a bit high maintenance but that didn't faze her a bit. Great communication and we received text updates and pics. We'll definitely use her again.”
“It was such a relief to find someone who is minutes from our house, who is caring, honest and trustworthy. Being very particular, I only wanted my precious Pierre to be in the care of one woman to care for him. Bittersweet, it took several sitters to find the perfect person... Carrie, you are so amazing. What a relief to find you and we do not want to lose you either! While we were out of town, our last trip, the previous sitter did not stay with our precious Pierre as we paid her to do so. It certainly pays to purchase a Canary camera and to also listen to your neighbors! Carrie, it was a blessing that you were available to get him at last minute and give him the attention he needed. Our week away in July was relieving and relaxing knowing that our Pierre was in your care. Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping us at last minute and being there for our sweet little four legged boy. He was so relaxed and calm when we arrived home. This validated how comfortable and happy he was in your care. Muah!!”
“Veronica was wonderful with Chloe who has severe separation anxiety. She was gentle and kind and read Chloe very well. She was sensitive and soft-spoken. She arrived on time and sent several photos of Chloe’s activities through the day. I highly recommend Veronica and will certainly request her again.”
About: I have loved animals my entire life and grew up on a farm caring for animals of all sizes, from rabbits to horses. Through the years I have gained experience caring for a variety of pets and understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and routine. I currently have three dogs of my own, and they are a huge part of my life. I also regularly care for neighbors’ pets while they are at work, running errands, or out of town. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, or extra attention, I am committed to providing loving and dependable care. I work as a per diem Occupational Therapy Assistant, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule. This flexibility gives me the opportunity to accommodate your pet’s needs and routine as closely as possible. Weekend availability is typically open as well. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I will carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests you may have. I am also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you are away. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and caring for them as if they were part of my own family. I currently work per diem as an occupational therapy assistant. My schedule is very flexible to be able to care for your fur babies on your time frame. The weekends I typically have open availability. I live in a single family home with a large fenced in yard. I have three dogs that love to run and play! We have a dog park 5 minutes from our home that we enjoy going to. I have two children that love playing tug of war and fetch with the dogs! My husband also enjoys cuddling the fur babies just as much as I do if not more!
About: I’ve had pets since I was a young girl. There was always a dog and cats in the house, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I recently lost my dog to old age, and I really miss that daily companionship, which is why I’d love to help care for other people’s pets. I’ve pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors over the years, and now I’m ready to open that up to more families. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I have two cats of my own. I’m patient, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable and easy to communicate with, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m home most of the day, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and care. I do have two kids, so with a little advance notice I’m happy to plan ahead and make sure I’m fully available for your pet’s needs. I’m an active person and enjoy going on walks, so dogs will get plenty of movement and time outside. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting during the week and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I have a fenced backyard, and pets are always supervised when they’re outside. Most of the day they’ll be with me, so they’re not left alone for long. I handle all feeding, walks, and care myself to keep things consistent and done right. I have two cats that are indoor and outdoor. They’re friendly and used to being around other animals, but they mostly keep to themselves and won’t bother your pet. My home is calm, clean, and safe. My kids are gentle and love animals, and I always make sure interactions are respectful and supervised. I treat every pet like my own and do my best to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.
About: I have been around animals my whole life, including taking care of my family dog into his old age for 10 years. I have also taken care of my cat for multiple years, and have pet-sat for others many times including overnight stays. I have a lot of free time, and pet care is something that interests me. This leaves me with a lot of time to spend with your pet to make sure they receive the care they need. I am able to attune to your pet's schedule for care, no matter how complicated it is. I have taken care of pets with complicated regimens before, and it is not a problem.
About: I have always been a part of a pet family since I was a child!! I love cats and dogs and showing them love! - I am graduating high school this may and work part time as a server at daiquiri deck, with summer coming around I have a very open and flexible availability I am very respectful of peoples homes when taking care out side of my house, I make sure your pets get the love and care

Holly and Jace watched my 2 dogs while I was away for a business trip, they took such great care of them and I was able to focus on work and not stress out about anything at home. They were great at communicating with me and sent lots of pictures! When I came home, the house was clean and my pups were happy and healthy. I will definitely trust them to watch my dogs again in the future!
Joie did such a great job with our two dogs. She stayed in our home while we were on vacation for 5 days with our dogs. The house and dogs were in great hands! One of our dogs is over 80 lbs and she handled him beautifully. I will be using her again. Thank you Joie!
We can't say enough about how wonderful Tom was with our pups. Sasha and Reggie are 100 lb Bernese Mountain Dogs. Our vacation was planned for a year and Tom was booked for a month. Just before we left they developed pretty severe GI issues. Tom was OK with staying even with the issues. We started them on home cooked Bison and potato on the advise of their vet. Tom cooked potatoes and bison for each meal. Gave them their new meds and did the slow change to include the new kibble they were eventually started on. We were gone for 17 days and never could have enjoyed our European trip without knowing that Tom was taking such good care of our babies. Additionally each needed to be walked separately since they are too much to handle together. We don't have a fenced in yard so every 4 hour walks is their norm. Tom kept us updated regularly about the state of their poops and overall health, sent lots of pictures and loved our babies. I can't recommend him more highly. He is amazing.
Veronica was wonderful with Chloe who has severe separation anxiety. She was gentle and kind and read Chloe very well. She was sensitive and soft-spoken. She arrived on time and sent several photos of Chloe’s activities through the day. I highly recommend Veronica and will certainly request her again.
Izabella was a wonderful animal / house sitter. She was super communicative, sent pictures daily of our fur babies, and was very flexible with us. She also left our home clean and even made time to wash the sheets and remake our bed! We are excited to book our next trip knowing our fur babies will be in great hands.
