“Marsha was fantastic! She spent quality time with our two golden retrievers and made sure they were well taken care of while we were gone. She sent updates and pictures which were very nice and the dogs always look happy. I would definitely use her again.”
“I’m a helicopter dog mom. My two boys loved Sadielyn! She did everything I asked her to do and more. She came a few days early to meet us and it really set my mind at ease. We felt completely comfortable with her right away. She left my house in immaculate condition. I would not hesitate to work with her again.”
“We had a great experience with haley. She did a great job taking care of layla. Was very professional we had a meet and greet before the care started she asked all the right questions to get to know our layla. She did a good job would book again.”
“Paulina was above and beyond that I could have asked for. Constant updates and pictures, taking those extra steps to even tidy up and clean the messy floor. It was a blessing to know my babies were taken care of and a huge relief to come home and know everyone and everything was in good shape. Will absolutely ask for her help in future trips and needs. She is a wonderful person and sitter.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life (cats and dogs). I love and adore them. I’d love to take care and love on your furry children while you’re away for a little. I’m also very open and flexible to their needs. All you’d have to do is let me know and I’ll take care of the rest to make them as comfortable as possible. Thank you for considering me! I’ll be in college soon, but it’s in town and I’ll be free most days to take care of your furry ones. Times will vary depending on the day but I’ll always give a head up or be upfront about it. Either way, your furry friends will be my top priority while in my care. Unfortunately, I cannot have pets in my house, seeing as it’s rented. But any rules or schedules you need me to follow while in your home, I will stick to it.
“Briana is a responsible, reliable and respectful person. She watched our pup while we were out of town. She followed our guidelines we provided to her on caring for our dog as well as watching over our house. She was great at providing daily updates to ensure our dog was okay. She kept our house clean and tidy.”
“Logan did a fantastic job watching our two high-maintenance, high-energy dogs. She kept them on their normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and we came home to very happy dogs!”
About: I've taken care of multiple dogs and cats for the past 20 years off and on. I LOVE animals and would give yours the same care as I do my own! I also volunteer to feed a group of stray cat’s that live near the river in a nearby town. My heart BURSTS for animals, I have a soft spot for them. I’m reliable, trustworthy, friendly, caring and kind to both humans and animals!! I'm an entrepreneur so my time is very flexible! I can help you during the day and in the evenings if you need it, ready and able to help you. I spend time with your pets, love them and care for them right in your own home. I can take care of your pet in my home and will walk them in my area.
“Debbie was great! Great communication, photos, and my dog seemed to really like her. My dogs were happy and healthy when we returned. She also watered all my outside flowers while I was away.”
“If you're looking for someone to watch your loved ones, look no further. Nick goes above and beyond every time. Our dogs love him, he maintains their routine, stays in communication, loves on the pets, and leaves our place better than we left it. Can't begin to thank him enough and the dogs can't wait to see him again!”
About: My family has always had animals and I’ve been helping to care for them since I was a child, as well as doing pet-sitting for many friends and family. My mom, who will share Rover duties with me, has started and run two dog rescues over the last 17 years and has personally interacted with a couple thousand dogs of all temperaments and ages. Right now we live on 5 acres with 5 dogs, 3 horses, one house cat, 5 barn cats and a bunch of chickens. We are VERY accustomed to having stranger dogs in and out of the house and know how to handle introductions to the pack. My mom and I both work on the property full time and there is almost always someone home with the animals. Very occasionally, they might be left for an hour or two if we are both running errands. They would be crated or confined to the back yard or my bedroom during this time (depending on weather and the specific needs of the dog). I will also occasionally take the dogs for a walk down at the river, if that’s the sort of thing they like to do and they’re good on a leash. The dogs have free access to a large, grass back yard when weather permits and supervised access to the rest of the property. They are not permitted in with the horses or chickens but the chickens do come over the fence sometimes. The indoor cat stays in my room and doesn’t interact with the large dogs, but all dogs need to respect cats because we don’t want her or the barn cats being harassed. We use crates for feeding and sleeping, but most of the time the dogs are out and lounging about on a variety of sleeping surfaces.
“Liz is so great with my nutty Aussie! Patient, sends good photo updates. She stayed in my house and made my girl feel loved, took her on walks which can be a challenge. Thanks so much!”
“Alexandrea was an absolute pleasure to work with! She house sat for us while we were away and did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 high energy dogs and cat. Everything was neat and tidy when we arrived home and she was very accommodating to us!”
About: I've taken care of many dogs and cats at a time as well as other animals. I'm able to give dogs medicine. Playing with them for at least a half an hour a day. Ready to watch and hang with your Kitties and Doggos! I work around appointments and errands. This would be my only job besides school. Giving me enough time to work around to visit and take care of your pets. I make sure they have water, feeding them twice a day. Playing with them and taking them on walks. Picking up dog poop from either your backyard or while were on a walk.
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have cared for the pets of many friends and family members over the years. While I’m currently in college and unable to have pets of my own, I’d love the opportunity to shower yours with all the love and attention they deserve! I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. My only class commitments are from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM, Monday through Thursday; 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM on Wednesdays; and 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM on Fridays. Outside of those times, my days are wide open—perfect for dedicating time and care to your pets! In my home I have a very large yard perfect for play time and keeping active. On the property where I live there are two other very friendly dogs always really to play. I am also very happy to come to your place as well if that is more accommodating to you and your fur baby as well! Whatever best fits the needs of you and your pet I am happy to do.

Larissa & Valerie P.
“My husband and I had to leave town for 5 days for a family emergency. Larissa came to our home with her delightful little dog (with our approval) to sit with our dogs. What a pleasant experience! When we came back our dogs were happy to see us but very clearly relaxed and calm - not stressed by our absence at all - despite this not being something they are used to. Our home was as tidy as we left it, no dishes accumulated in the sink, couch throws folded, etc. The directions we left were followed, medications given, feeding schedule maintained. I will absolutely call her again should we need a pet sitter!”
