“Brynn was a great help and was very understanding in my joining on the app and using the service(s) for the first time. She was very considerate in providing with the dogs with a bit of playtime, and provided regular updates/pictures to my personal phone. I would certainly recommend her service(s) to anyone needing a sitter in the area. Thank you, again, Brynn!”


“Madison was an amazing cat sitter for Coco! She was attentive, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure Coco was happy and comfortable while I was away.

I highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”

About: I always been around dogs and animals my whole life and since I was really young I’ve owned a dog and have been taught how to take care of them. I’ve taken care of dogs of friends and family including dogs as young as a new puppy and as old as 13 years old. I would take close attention if there were any special details aswell. I am currently in college studying business and marketing. I am usually available most days a week and will always put animals before myself. I am trying to get more of a solid job soon, so availability may change soon. I always make sure that there is nothing of danger laying around in my house and in close reach of the dogs. And I would take the same care for another persons house as I would with my own, including keeping it clean and safe.

About: I've had pets since a young age from lizards, cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, turtles, guinea pigs and birds. I have a small dog of my own so I know I can give your pets lots the love and attention too whether they have fur, scales, or feathers! I work from home so all pets get get a lot of attention during the day. For dogs staying in my home, they get 3 walks a day in the morning, during my lunch break, and in the evening. I work from home so all pets get a lot of attention during the day. I love to spend my time after work going on walks and would love a buddy(s) to come with me! I am available from dog walking or in home visits after 5:15pm during the week and anytime on weekends. I think the best way to care for a pet is do exactly what they're comfortable with. I intend to have very open communication with pet parents to understand the likes, dislikes and behaviors of their fur-babies to make sure that they feel safe and comfortable. I do have a dog of my own so I also want to make sure all your pets get along with my Jax, who loves other animals.

About: I have grown up around many different kinds of animals. I have lived on a farm for my entire life and love every second of it. It is hard work but very rewarding. I also went to an agricultural high school where I graduated with a certificate in animal science. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own. For my farm animals I currently have llamas, goats, and ducks! I do have a few people that I house sit/ dog walk for and I enjoy getting to know all furry friends! I’m currently a student at Gateway Community College and have a part time job with the YMCA. My schedule is pretty flexible considering though. I work through the summer at a camp working with students from 8am-1:30pm. During the school year I work from 6am-8am then 2pm-6pm Monday through Friday. On the weekends I am typically free! I usually walk my dogs on a leash but they are also trained off leash. I also take them to many trails and to as many pet friendly places as possible. For others I like to get as much detail about your animal as possible to make them feel as comfortable as possible!

About: have extensive experience in pet care such as daily care, feeding, and training and loving for various types of animals. I try to be very knowledgeable about different breeds and their specific needs, ensuring that each pet receives personalized attention. I also monitoring pets' health, administering medications when necessary, and creating a safe and nurturing environment. My commitment to their well-being and happiness. I have a dog myself and I love the interactions we have together. I just understands when she needs to potty, play and eat! By learning off her body language helped me read other dogs as well and i just love spreading my love to them. Caring for pets at my home or in a client's home involves several key tasks to ensure their well being. This includes providing a balanced diet and fresh water, ensuring they get regular exercise like walking dogs or playing with cats, and maintaining their grooming needs such as brushing fur. I monitor their health by watching for any changes. Creating a safe and comfortable environment with cozy bedding and safe toys is crucial, along with spending quality time interacting with them to keep them mentally and emotionally healthy. These steps help ensure pets are happy and well cared for.

“Whitnee was able to come through for us at the last minute when our usual rover had to cancel. She was punctual, professional, responsive, and took great care of our two cats! Would certainly book with her again.”


“Ryan was able to gain trust with our plott hound (Dilu) in record time. Dilu moved to be near him at our first meeting, Dilu does not allow just anyone to work with him. Ryan was detailed (with pics), responsive, consistent with the commands and expectations. He followed through with the medical needs Dilu had while I was away. I arrived home and found a very well taken care of Dilu who had the same understanding of rules in our home as when I left. Medically he is exactly where he needed to be. Ryan is very competent in training and following through with the training and expectations in place. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Dilu was in very capable hands.”


About: I've been taking care of dogs, cats, fish, and even chickens since I was a teenager. I love playing or snuggling or going on nice walks. Whatever your pet needs, I can accommodate!

I’ll be there to keep their routine as normal as possible when mom or dad aren't around. I have had dozens of repeat clients and will treat your fur baby as if they are my own. I believe in open and honest communication so you will receive plenty of updates while you're away. I have a kitten (Banjo) who was super shy (and is totally still an introvert) but I've earned his trust & love, and now I have a snuggly and playful little kitty. To me, it's about meeting animals where they are at and creating a bond. Let's set up a meet and greet! Happy to answer questions and can't wait to talk! I currently have a part time job and have some flexibility for your pets schedule. I am excited to meet your pet for drop ins! I will always leave your home the way I found it, if not better! I am reliable and responsible, and good at following any instructions.

I will have all the time in the world this summer I will protect and make sure you pet is always happy. I will give your pet my full undivided attention at all times while in your home.

Grace H.
“Grace has a natural connection with animals that's clear whenever you see them interact. They treat every animal as if he/she was their own, and in the time I have known Grace they have always remembered feeding schedules, bathroom times, and play time with the animal they are taking care of. They also pay attention to specific traits of the animal, such as their favorite treats, favorite toys, things they like to do and don't like to do. I would trust Grace to take care of my pet for any amount of time.”

Ola walks him, feeds him, she is willing to spend the night and even take care of my Guinea pig Zoomy for no extra charge. We have used Ola for short walks to a week long vacations and we have always been impressed. Now I would not use anyone else, as Ola became part of my pets family and they are excited to see her as she walks in!”

Jennifer J.
“Jennifer is absolutely the best dog handler ever. I have a red nose pit bull who is 7 years old named kookii. I needed someone who has the patience for her and the same energy as her. Kookii had a very traumatic event happen a month ago and after her surgery. She became a whole new dog . She has the energy of a puppy again. I had to leave on a vacation for about a week , I went on rover to find anyone who was willing to take of her . No one is really fond of pits . But Jennifer was a match ! Kookii is a easy going dog but can be demanding at times . I left Jennifer with a schedule for her and her food . I got pictures nearly everyday during her walks and when she was home cuddling with her. Jennifer has a lot of patience for her . Which amazed me cause now everyone has the patience for dogs . She showed a lot of love for kookii which melted my heart . When I came to get kookii , she was so happy . I recommend Jennifer to everyone . She shows passion , patience and love to all dogs. She treats every dog as if it’s her own. I feel comfortable to leave kookii with her again ! Kookii does visit and every time she jumps up with excitement just to see her . Jennifer is absolutely a pleasure. Thank you for the amazing treatment to me and my precious baby .”
