“Thanks so much for your help, April! Nilla loves her walks and spending time with you. I can tell she’s always in such a good mood from the pictures you send. You’re the best!”

“Ashley was absolutely amazing. We haven't left our pups in over a year and were nervous. She made us feel so at ease with her effort and care. She helped us with meds for one of our pups and truly just went above and beyond. We highly recommend her! Book her! You will not regret it.”

“Connor did a great job taking care of Moose. We had some cameras set up to keep an eye on Moose, and Connor was very helpful to set those cameras back up after Moose knocked them over each day 😸. It was clear that Moose was a lot happier after Connor came to check on him each day, and Connor took great pictures of our cat! I would definitely hire him again.”

“Julie was amazing! We had an amazing experience! She took such great care of Rocky. Communication was excellent she kept us updated and made us feel completely at ease. It was clear Rocky was happy, loved, and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her and would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone on Rover!”

“Maria was fantastic with our dogs. Our big dog has a lot of anxiety, but Maria was very patient and made sure to gain her trust. She went above and beyond what we would have expected!”

“Brooke was amazing with our 4 dogs (including an almost 3 month old puppy!). She had no problem staying for extended drop in visits due to the new puppy. She played with all of the dogs, spent time outside and brought them in when it was getting too hot. I will absolutely be booking Brooke again soon!”

About: I make sure that your animal is well taken care of. If I have school or other things going on, I make sure to stop by to see your pet every 2 or so hours. I give lots of treats and hugs and cuddles to your furry friends. I’m currently in school so I’m perfectly free after 2pm Monday-Thursday Other than that I’m free all day and available at your let’s need. Also available to check on your pet in between classes I make sure the pets are fed every day and night at the same time. I walk dogs at the same time every day and for the same amount of time. I give doggies lots of treats and love as well
“I can’t say enough great things about Jaclyn. We decided to hire her for our crazy Great Pyrenees and all of our indoor cats. She was very punctual and we returned home to very happy babies. I had initially asked her to provide photos of them and she sent me photos of individual pet with every visit!! On top of that, she also spent quality time with them for their mental stimulation. We will hire her again and recommend her to all the anxious mothers who hate to be away from their furbabies. Thanks to her, we were able to spend some time away from home with ease of mind 🥰”

“Thank you so much for coming on short notice to review all of the care needs for the girls while we are out of town this week! Eliana showed patience and attention to details, and our gals loved walking with her!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, and my love for them has only grown. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and everything in between—including my own dog through his golden years. I know every dog is unique, and I’m here to give them the personalized care they need! I’m a full-time, stay at home Wife! Therefore, I have the rare flexibility to offer round-the-clock care for your pet. Your dog will receive my full attention throughout the day—whether it’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or evening snuggles. I no longer have any dogs of my own, which means my home is a calm, pet-free space—ideal for pets who may prefer one-on-one care. I only care for one dog at a time (unless both are from the same family), so your pet gets personalized attention and never has to compete for love or space. I completely understand that trusting someone new with your pets can be unnerving. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or my client’s home. I create a comfortable, stress-free environment by following their routine, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. From daily walks and feeding to administering medication or providing extra attention for puppies and senior dogs!
About: I have taken care of personal dogs since I was 10 years old. I have potty trained dogs and also have trained them to do certain tricks. I am currently retired and I'm looking for a part-time job while my grandchildren are at school. I would need to work a few hours during the day. I will be able to walk your dog, feed your dog and give your dog lots of attention and loving care during the day time.
About: Ive never met a dog or cat that doesn't instantly like me and same for me too! Kindness & Respect go along way with pets. I treat them like I would want to be treated if I was an animal. Ive always been a hard worker and do my best to make others happy, human or animal. Im dependable and easy to work with. I believe communication is key in life. Im respectful of others home, property & privacy. I will take good care of your babies & whatever you trust me with. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies. 😊 I am retired. My schedule is pretty open. I do deliver part time here & there. However, pets come first and I'm dedicated pet sitter. I am very attentive to your pets. Notes of your pets usual routines, likes & dislikes help to continue easy days & nights while you are away.
“This was our first experience with Sara (and Rover, for that matter). She was great with our dog while we were out of town for 24hrs- 10 out of 10 recommend! Super reliable. We will be repeat customers :)”
“Victoria is truly a lifesaver! Our cat’s automatic litter box stopped working during the Thanksgiving holiday, and she was able to check in on our cat at the last minute and fix it. Not only did she repair the litter box, but she also cleaned up our cat’s mess and throw up. Victoria went above and beyond, and we are incredibly grateful to have found her through this app. Thank you so much, Victoria!”

“Amy is wonderful! This is our 2nd trip with our kitty under her care and we’re about to do a third. She keeps trying with our very shy cat, which we sure appreciate! She sends pics and keeps us updated on how she’s doing. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I make sure dogs are fed on time, get exercise, and feel safe and comfortable. I enjoy playing with them and giving them attention so they don’t feel lonely. I am responsible and patient, and I treat every dog like family. I also send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while your dog is in my care.
