“Grace was awesome! My babies absolutely loved her. She came twice a day to feed them and to let them out. I got photos and an update about their eating, pooping and peeing. This is the first time I have tried this but it won't be the last. Grace was concerned that I might have had an intruder in my house so she called the police and not only made sure my babies were safe but my house as well. I will definately use her again when I go out of town. I recommend her whole heartedly.”
“Was updated with pictures and flexible in the time Kitty needed looking in on. Would definitely recommend!”
“Robin was amazing with my 2 cat fur-babies. She took such great care of them, making sure they had fresh water, litter and lots of love! I highly recommend ◡̈”
“Elizabeth was amazing. She was able to come drop in on two of our dogs while we dealt with having to leave for TX for a funeral. It was the 3rd funeral within a month my family was dealing with. Elizabeth was able to come meet the dogs beforehand and they loved her. Very professional and communicative.”
“Not everyone signs on to work on Christmas but Gabby did and we were appreciative. The girls (dogs) were happy when we returned but not stressed or anxious so we knew they were comfortable with Gabby being there for them. We had medicine to administer and Bailey got hers right on time. We are thankful to have found Gabby!”

“Can't say enough about how comfortable and thankful I am with Janel taking care if our dog Cora. She comes in and Cora is waiting for her with a toy, that tells me me Cora is very happy with Janel !!! Cora is a large Bull Mastiff/German Shepherd mix so she could be intimidating but Janel has shown comfort with her which in turn makes Cora comfortable. I can see the joy in Cora's reactions with her. Thank you Janel we are so happy we found you💕”
About: On walks, I’ve been known to smile at dogs yet frown at the owners. Not really, but it’s true that seeing pets on walks is my motivation for doing them in the first place. I only have one little pupper (Bella) who is 14 years old! Although she has the energy of a toddler, the way she follows me into any room any time I’m in the house is something I’ll miss when she’s gone. We take walks daily, and I’m careful not to over feed her or harm her in any way. Even though this is my first app, I think the foundation of trust and looking for any signs the lore is showing (as well as my clear communication with pet and owner)
About: I've owned both large an small dogs as well as cats. I've been around animals my whole life growing up on a farm. I recently lost my senior Doberman who was 15 yrs old due to old age. I am experienced in puppy care and elderly dog care. My elderly dog has given me experience with helping older dogs with slow to moderate mobility. I am available for last minute bookings. I work full time but have the flexibility to do drop in care in early mornings and bathroom breaks/ feedings/ walks once or twice as needed through the day M-F . Saturday an Sunday I am home an available anytime day and night. I have a large fenced in back yard and safe neighborhood for dog walks. I also can help crate train puppies or older dogs if needed.
“Jecinda did great with sparky. I have never left him with a stranger before but would totally ask her to come next time I needed someone.”
“Madison was very sweet and went above and beyond when taking care of dogs. She made sure everything was taking care of and even took time to brush them.”
“I booked Kristen last minute and she did an amazing job with Diggs! This was her 2nd time pet sitting for me.”
“Holi-Nicol did an excellent job caring for our two kitties. She sent an update with pictures during each visit. We didn't have a worry or concern the entire time we were away knowing they were in good hands. This was our first time using Rover and were pleased with how easy it is to use. We will definitely use Rover again and highly recommend Holi-Nicole to care for your special family members.”
“Kelly did an excellent job! I came home to happy fur-babies!”
“Haley did a great job looking after my 3 pups. She came 3 times per day to feed them and let them out. She also played ball with them to give them some exercise. I do appreciate her help and would book her again in the future.”
About: Dogs are every girls best friend. I have experience in administering medicine to dogs if they need medical attention. I also have 13 years of pet care experience. I do online college. I am able to provide reliable pet care every day during the week. I would love to take care of your pet. I do not mind if dogs get on furniture as long as the dog is clean and does not shed. I love little dog snuggles so that doesn’t bother me. I will make sure the pet is sticking to its routine & I will also update the owners on how the dog is.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals over the years and I decided to expand to outside of my family. Because of my love of pets and as a college student with free time I have decided to fill that time with something I love, taking care of animals. I love all animals and have taken care of a dachshund, terrier, cats of all kind, and even insects and amphibians. I currently work part time at a gym and am a college student but I have free time that I would like to fill with something that benefits the people around me. I have taken care of many dogs and am comfortable with any instructions you can give me and promise to do exactly what you tell me when taking care of your loved pets!
