“Chloe was on time and walked my 2 dogs. She even fed them and let them out to make sure they went potty. I loved that she sent pictures! Can’t wait to use her again!”


2. Jaden M.


“Jaden has been amazing! They are so patient with my fearful dog, and even did multiple meet and greets with us to make her more comfortable. I really appreciated the detailed report as well. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”

5. Masie D.

“Masie is a fantastic communicator. She responds quickly to text messages and is helping me figure out what is in the best interest of Molly for future walks. Molly thinks she is great!”


6. Stephenie S.
“Stephenie animal/home sat for 9 days this fall while we were on a family trip. She did a wonderful job caring for 3 cats and a very energetic 6 month old puppy. She not only fed/medicated our animals, but she also watered outdoor plants and brought in the paper and mail. When we returned our house was just as clean as when we left it. She even taught the puppy to shake while we were gone! We recently dropped the puppy off at Stephenie's house for the day while we went out of town. He was so excited to see her again! We feel lucky to have found Stephenie. I highly recommend her!”


7. Suliel S.
“Suilel was such a great caregiver to my dogs. She walked my dog every afternoon on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She was consistent, responsible and patient. I went a way for a week and she was very helpful watching my doggies. She followed simple instructions on our routine. My dogs loved her and was alway so happy to see her. Unfortunately we moved out of the area, but we still keep in great touch. I will gladly recommend Suiel as a caregiver.”


8. Addison E.
About: Loving and caring for animals is truly what I enjoy and love. I am very comfortable around all animals considering I grew up around dogs, cats, cows, horses my entire life while currently owning three dogs, three cats, and a horse. I have been pet sitting for people in my home town for many years. *This is my full time job while being here at KSU for college so other than classes here and there I am free during the day and almost always at night so animals will rarely ever be left alone. I am almost always available and am always around Manhattan. Feel free to message me for last minute bookings if during the week days only! My name is Addy and I am from the Lawrence KS area. I am currently attending KSU as a freshman. I have worked at multiple horse boarding facilities and almost on all holidays have taking care of pets for people in my hometown, which I am now wanting to continue doing here during the school year. I am also currently majoring in animal science production management side. Loving and caring for animals is truly my life and I do not take anything about it lightly the trust that somebody puts into me to provide a safe and loving enviorment for there pets is super important to me because I myself have fur babies that I am very particular with and always want to make sure they will be taken care of correctly when I am away. I am a freshman in college this year at ksu and have plenty of free time during the day and night to come over and watch your animals! I have two classes sometimes three during the day but all of my days are pretty flexible except Monday when I have two classes and a lab. While being up here at KSU and not being able to see all of my fur babies I would love to come and see yours and provide all the care they need to them! I have two puppies, one old dog, three cats, and a horse back at home. I am very good with animals. I would love to come hangout with your fur babies while you are gone or busy at work! I have worked at three horse boarding facilities so I know what it is like to make sure the care is perfect for peoples animals. I enjoy taking care of animals and making them feel loved and safe, I would love to provide that for your pet.


9. Jessi R.


“I needed someone I could trust after having a bad experience with another dog walker (not from Rover) lying to me about taking my dog out on time or at all. Jessi was super helpful and jumped in as quickly as I needed her. It's so great to see that he's getting the exercise he needs even when I'm not there. She took him out twice for a mile each time! I look forward to having her help me out regularly from here on out! Thanks Jessi!”


10. Jacqueline A.


“Jacqueline is amazing! She always does a great job with my dog and is always very flexible”


11. Lily V.
“Lily has always done a wonderful job with my two dogs. She is very responsible and I know I can count on her to take great care of my puppies. I went on vacation and she took care of them. I had no worries at all. I can always count on Lily and would not hesitate to ask her to watch my fur babies at any time. She is fantastic!”


12. Kymberly W.
“Doug our dog had a great time with Kymberly and her daughter. We had a family emergency and needed to leave quickly. Kymberly was super flexible and had everything set up and ready to go for Doug so we could do a quick drop off. We received daily pictures or videos. Doug was well loved during his time with them.”


13. Kaylyn M.

“Awesome experience. 10/10 will have her again! Thanks!”


14. Reagan R.
“Reagan does a great job attending to pets and farm animals. She has taken care of our cows, chickens, rabbit, dog and cat. It is so easy to schedule with her and she is very affordable! I’m thankful for her services for our little farm.”


15. Franceska P.
About: Hi I am Franki and I am a freelance illustrator. I work from home and I have super flexible hours. I am able to watch your dog(s) during the day while I work while giving them the attention they need. I will be able to stick to any routine that your pet may have! I have grown up with dogs of all shapes and sizes and I am comfortable with any breed! I work from home and for myself so my schedule is very flexible. I wake up early in the morning making me available almost all day! I have a fenced in yard at my house, but I also plan to always accompany the pet. I will keep you updated on the well being of your pet throughout my time with your fur baby. I am an attentive caregiver and I will make sure they are looked after with respect and love.


16. Breeana "August" H.
“August has been caring for my cat for quite some time now, and I couldn't be happier with the service he provides. From the very first visit, it was clear that August has a genuine love for animals. He took the time to get to know my cat's personality, preferences, and quirks, ensuring she felt comfortable and secure in his presence. August is incredibly reliable. I never worry about my cat when I’m away, knowing that she’s in such responsible hands. He communicates regularly, sending updates and photos that reassure me she’s happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend August to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet caregiver.”


17. Faith H.

“Faith was amazing! She agreed to walk my dog last minute while I was going to be out of town for the whole day. She also was very communicative and followed my instructions perfectly. I would totally have her again! :)”


18. Zoey C.
About: I am an aspiring veterinarian, and I started in the field when I was 16. I love any chance I can get to take care of animals! I am a college student studying biology! I applied to vet school this year, and I am awaiting the decision currently. I am passionate about animal care! I don’t have the capability to have other pets over to my house, but I will care for yours to whatever specification you may have!
