“We enjoyed working with Sabrina as our first Rover experience and definitely plan on using her when we go out of town next. She provided many pupdates, pictures, and followed our instructions well. The whole process was very easy and went as well as I could have hoped!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and my own pet for a little over seven years now. I am most experienced with senior dogs, as most of my friends and family have older dogs with plenty of extra needs. I have fostered puppies for a few years now, and I am very well-versed in potty-training puppies as well! I currently have a full time job, Monday through Friday 8-5pm, some Saturdays 8-12pm and off on Sundays. I will be available to care for your pets in their own environment and safe place so they can feel comfortably in their own space and keep their same routine. I have a large, fenced backyard free of any harmful plants for my dog. Plenty of toys, a neighborhood perfect for walking, practicing leash training, and ample space for my pet to relax and play! I adhere to a schedule, whether it’s for my own or for my client, and I am very strict about it unless there is room for extra time depending on the dog’s mood/behavior. Very energetic, so your dog will receive proper exercise, attention, and so much love in my presence!

“Maria was an amazing dog sitter. She took care of my 5 dogs and all were healthy and happy when we got home. She even cleaned up after herself and my which she didn’t have to do. Gave me daily reports too. I will always use her to take care of my babies.”
“We had such a great experience! Tori took wonderful care of our dog, Kobe, while we were away. She was very communicative, sent updates, and made sure he was comfortable the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely book again!”
“Connor is such a polite and sweet person. He took good care of our babies. He is the first sitter besides friends and family we’ve trusted to take care of them and we couldn’t be happier.”
“Robbie was great to work with! She was quick to respond, was willing to meet before booking & was great with our two dogs. She gave updates throughout sitting and took great care of our home, as well as the pups.”
“Kayleigh was an amazing dog / cat / house sitter! She even stayed through the night when the heater broke and it was freezing outside! I can definitely recommend her and will hope she is free next time I need a sitter.”
About: I hqve always pet sit for a long time now off of social mediq only for locals, i have experience dog walking, doing drop in visits, i can do it all working around my availability! I am currently in nursing school and work around my school schedule. I am open for the most part even though my schedule changed a lot. I love pets, i treat them as my own since I know they are already missing their owners while they are away. I follow instructions as provided and give them lots of love!
“Sara did a great a job with our dog Yuki. She does a great job keeping him happy in our absence, even when he gets a little nervous. She is a great communicator, letting us know clearly what's going on. She takes great acre with feeding him, giving him his medicine, taking him on walks. She clearly understands what he communicates to her too. And this is so important. We are so pleased to have Sara's help in taking such great care of our dog when we are gone. She's trustworthy, reliable, conscientious, and a great help to us and to Yuki.”
“Ashley is great! Pixie took to her right away and we recieved pictures of Pixie sitting cuddling with Ashley. I'm so glad we found Ashley. We'll be using her for other times we need to go out.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14, watching over dogs and cats for friends, coworkers, and family friends. Growing up in a family that always owned large dog breeds made me very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand the patience, attention, and care both dogs and cats need to feel safe and comfortable. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing reliable, loving care to keep pets happy and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily schedule as I have a flexible routine with plenty of availability throughout the day. This allows me to provide consistent attention, whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening visits, and be reliable for walks, feeding, playtime, and any special care needs pets may have. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their routine closely, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I ensure fresh water is always available, clean up after pets, and maintain a safe, calm environment. I also give them attention and companionship, watch for any health or behavior changes, and respect the home by keeping everything clean and organized.
“Jess was absolutely amazing. I have multiple pets and fosters. She came over multiple times ahead of time (that I paid her for( do my animals could get comfortable with her. While I was actually gone she sent me daily updates along with pictures. She was extremely responsive and very good with my animals, highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for my whole life. Ages 5-17 i had a dog and i worked for a pet sitting company after and during college for 2 years. I now also own a dog and two cats! I can pet sit after i get off from my job Monday-Friday 7pm- 11pm & Saturday and Sunday i am available anytime and even holidays! Depending on what the care owner needs i will take care of all necessary needs, I’ve even given medication to different animals before! I also will make sure they get all the love!

Armand was an amazing dog sitter! He took exceptional care of my pup and kept me updated throughout the day with multiple messages and beautiful photos. It was clear that he genuinely cared about my dog and made sure he had a great time. Armand spent plenty of quality time with him, took him on walks, and even brought him to the dog park. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Armand again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter
Another great sitting experience with Britney. She gives such loving care and is meticulous with all the extra medicine and skincare routine my Bella requires. She is so connected to my girl she misses her when she leaves! I highly recommend her services. Thank you again Britney!
Annabelle was lovely! We have a hoard of dogs and she cared for them wonderfully! She sent us fun pictures every day and kept us updated on their antics and shenanigans. It was clear that they all felt loved and cared for while we were gone, enjoying their snuggles with their new friend! Additionally, we were super impressed with Annabelle’s dedication and flexibility - I accidentally booked her for the following weekend, not realizing my error until we texted her to let her know we were en route to the airport! She managed to juggle her schedule at the last minute (literally) to accommodate my oversight- what a blessing! We would have been in deep doo-doo without her (no pun intended)! What a gem!
Carlos is so amazing and on top of it. We have a more difficult duo of dogs and he made us feel so well take care of!! I have full confidence in his ability to take care of my high maintenance big dogs, and to take care of my home while away. He did fabulous check in videos, he went above and beyond and took my dogs to play at the park, and he left my home so clean, I had nothing negative to come home to! He’s now our designated sitter, we feel so blessed to welcome him to our home and take care of our boys!
Thomas was so kind. Prior to booking we he came by so he could meet the dogs. They instantly attached to him so we knew it would be a good fit. One of our dogs can be physical, not in an aggressive way, but he’s 80lbs and doesn’t know his size. Thomas reassured me that he still enjoyed him. He also cleaned the waste from the backyard and offered to recycle boxes we had sitting out on trash day. He will definitely be our new favorite sitter.
Lilyanne is amazing! Her updates and communication was incredible not to mention the overall care for our two dogs who are VERY needy! She did so great with them and also stayed at our home while dog sitting. She was so considerate and respectful. 100% recommend her for your dog sitting needs!
I highly recommend Heavenly to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. She took wonderful care of my babies, and I felt completely at ease while I was away. One of the things I appreciated most was her excellent communication. She provided regular updates and sent plenty of pictures, which really helped me stay connected and worry-free. Overall, she was dependable, attentive, and genuinely cared about my pet’s well-being.
