“Dalton was extremely professional during all of our interactions. He made sure to keep us updated while we were away and sent several photos of Copper. We will definitely use him again if he is available!”
“Lizzy did a fantastic job with Sokka. She was very receptive to the care instructions and did frequent check-ins to keep me updated throughout her stay. Lizzy even took the time to straighten things back up around the house before leaving, which was very much appreciated! She is both kind and professional, I highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely book again!”

“Michael is a gem! He is chill and my dogs love him. If you are looking for a kind and trustworthy soul to hang out with your pets, he’s your guy. He is very respectful of our house and follows all of my crazy directions for my needy dogs. Since we work from home and are with our dogs the majority of most days, it was nice to find someone who will actually hang around isn’t gone 10 hours a day. We come home to happy, chill dogs and that’s all that matters. I recommend Michael 100%!!”

“We met with her beforehand and knew Bella would be in good hands. Clear communication while we were gone. Sent picture updates to let us know how things were going. Would use again.”
“Katie is the best! My pups are my life and she was so wonderful with them. I haven’t left them with anyone else besides family since of one of them became blind. She was phenomenal with sending me pics and keeping me updated. I will be using her from now on.”

“As always, Maegan did phenomenal! We were out of the country for 7 days, and we were a bit nervous since we wouldn’t be at all available, but she was great about communicating with my parents since we couldn’t be reached, and we came home to a clean house, happy dogs & kitties, and plants that were still happy and alive :)”

“Highly recommend Laura! We needed someone last minute & she responded quickly. She arrived right on time. She kept us updated throughout the entire time. We will definitely be using her from now on.”
“Hope did a fabulous job of taking care of my three pups while we were away. I’ve already booked them for my next trip. Our pups were well looked after and loved. Hope is great with dogs, communicative, and reliable. Highly recommend.”

“Where to start- responsible, timely, and a real animal lover. Got lots of updates and pics and felt so relieved to know my animals were in good hands. Definitely don’t hesitate to book Isabella! Looking forward to being a returning customer.”

About: Along with owning an array of animals throughout my life, I have volunteered at shelters since high school. Seeing the effects of love and care is truly eye opening. I cannot wait to be apart of the village that loves your animal! I am currently in the process of getting my bachelor’s degree, and spend some of my free time at shelters. I love all things animals, and would love to spend some of my free time helping other’s give their pets the best care. In a clients home, I will respect all wishes for not only their pet, but their space. Playing, walking, and feeding will be done as the client wishes.
About: I grew up with 3 dogs and have taken care of many dogs and cats before. Including family members and neighbors animals. I also have some experience with farm animals. I am a student at the University of Mobile getting my masters in athletic training. I am free before class, after class, before my clinical rotation, at night, and over night. I can care for animals at my clients homes because I do not have a big house but love to go on walks. I can also give your dogs a bath if needed. I will play with them in the yard if they have one!
“Elizabeth took such good care of our babies while we were gone. She was very patient with our one dog that is very skittish. We will definitely use her again for any future needs!”

About: I am a local Biology student with many years of animal care experience. I grew up on a farm and have taken care of animals like and black bears and primates, and domestic pets like dogs and cats. I can sit any animal (exotic or not) and will allow walkthrough of our home -and yard prior to sitting your scaly/furry friends. A little to know about me is I just recently left the Marine Corps and Joined the FL National Guard and am a student at University of North Florida. I am a wildlife conservationist at heart and would give my life for the smallest of creatures. I am doing Rover because I love animals and I am supporting my family while we finish our degrees. Thank you for your business! See you soon! I work full-time, but when I am home I make sure to give your fur babies my undivided attention. My wife is home all day, so she can definitely help out with your fur babies! I make sure every dog is comfortable with me, and I let them walk around my home to get a sense of the area. If the clients home I make sure the dog/dogs are comfortable with me as well, and once they are I proceed with taking care of them.
“Deanna came to our rescue after our other sitter had a death in the family and could not watch our dogs. She is awesome she did great watching our dogs. She took them out and spent several hours with them a day. We originally booked for overnight but because she lives so close we let her do drop in visits and it worked out just as well. I highly recommend Deanna to watch your pets because she'll treat them like family and did an amazing job! We will be using her again!”

About: I love animals as if they were my own children. I promise to treat your furbabies as you would want them to be and as if they were my own. I send lots of photos as well, and will keep you updated on everything they're doing while you're away. I am a full time college student, and I work part time. I only work a couple of days a week, and my classes are never longer than an hour and fifteen minutes. My schedule is extremely flexible. I promise to treat your home and furbabies with the upmost respect. Staying in a clients home is a delicate task, which requires respect and trust. Taking care of animals is something that requires the same dedication that I put into my schoolwork, and is a serious responsibility.
“Ginger was amazing with our brood. We have quite the zoo and are always timid to leave the house under someone else’s care, but she did amazing with our dogs, chickens, Guinea pigs and fish. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and caring eye over your pets while you’re away.”

“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the care Alyssa provided for our furry family members while we were out of town for the holiday! She went above and beyond, ensuring our girls were not only well-fed and exercised but also showered with love and attention. Her regular updates, including pictures and messages, gave us complete peace of mind, knowing our pup was in the best hands. It was clear Alyssa genuinely cared, treating our home and our dog as if they were her own. Coming back to a happy, relaxed pups confirmed just how exceptional she is. We highly recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and dedicated pet sitter. We will def be booking again! Thank you, Alyssa, for being amazing!”

“Jenna was an exceptional House Sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure that our fur babies were well taken care of. She was punctual and attentive. The house was nice and clean when I returned. She’s very communicative and sent photos often. We will definitely be using her again.”
