Samantha is always the best and most reliable!! She is always on time and takes the cutest photos of my boys to send me while she’s there. We’ve used her every time we go away and the pups are always happy and healthy on our return home. Highly recommend!!

Anthony cared for my greyhound and GSD with drop in visits for a whole week and I have nothing but good things to say! Great communication, lots of pictures, and made me feel very comfortable. I will be booking with Anthony again!

Aspyn was patient with my dog Hildy and let her warm up over a visit or two. After that, she kept Hildy active and engaged and was a great Rover check-in overall. Kept an eye on the automatic food/water just in case, super attentive and great with communication. Definitely highly recommend.

Megan was amazing with our pup. We had her stop by our home a few times a day to check on our 8 week old puppy. She was attentive, caring, and went about and behind to make sure our baby was well taken care of. She fed, played with and even bathed him when he had an accident in his crate. We could not be happier with the level of care she provided to Ares. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Megan!

Chrystal was amazing! We needed a sitter last minute and she was so flexible with helping us out. Each visit she provided multiple pictures and details about how each kitty was doing. One of my cats is a little shy and salty and Chrystal did a great job tailoring the care to her! We definitely will be using her again!

About: I fortunately have 6+ years experience working in the veterinary field and I’ve also been pet sitting for 10 years, for close friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues of mine. I can take care of special needs pets, giving oral or injectable medications and changing diapers or applying creams. I got you covered! I’m currently part-time at my job so I have ample time for play dates, walks, sleep overs, whatever your pet care needs may be! I have a large fenced in yard, treats for both dogs and cats, toys for both dogs and cats, and a medium size crate if needed I can provide for those of our furry friends who are crate trained.

About: Hi there! I have grown up in a household of dogs all of my life, from adolescence to adulthood. I’m a dependable, loyal person that wholeheartedly loves dogs and the added joys they bring to our lives. My fiancé and I are parents to two rescue pups — a sweet german shepherd named Haylie, and an even sweeter beagle/coonhound mix named Lady. Please reach out with any additional questions you may have 😊 I’m seeking to make Rover my full-time job and will have virtually open availability intertwined with my personal schedule/daily routine. I’m a morning and daytime person (not a night owl) and my availability typically won’t extend past 7-8pm unless there is a special circumstance :) I will follow provided instructions tightly and will ensure your pet(s) are happy, healthy and loved while I am with them. Long walks and snuggles are my specialty!

Bethany was absolutely amazing with my dog, Cleo! She was very communicative the entire time and sent tons of photos, which eased so much of my anxiety while I was visiting friends and spending the whole weekend at Disney. She did everything I asked her to do and went above and beyond. Since I wasn’t from the area and couldn’t do a proper meet and greet, she even offered to FaceTime beforehand which I appreciated so much. Her thoughtfulness and reliability made the entire experience stress-free! I’m SO thankful for her and would highly, highly recommend booking Bethany!

Absolutely amazing! I booked Katie last minute after my original dog sitter cancelled the day I was to leave town. She was always prompt and took genuine care. She did more than expected and clearly has a love for animals. Her communication was superb, and responded in a prompt manner when I messaged her both setting up the checkins and during.

About: I’m an experienced pet lover with 4+ years caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and other animals. I’ve taken care of pets since I was little, and I always treat them like family. I’m reliable, gentle, and committed to keeping your pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m flexible with my schedule so I can adjust to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s early-morning walks, mid-day visits, or evening care, I fit pet care smoothly into my day because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to keep the pet’s routine as normal as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter or potty clean-up, playtime, and any special care the pet needs. I also keep the home tidy, respect their space, and make sure the pet feels safe and cared for while the owner is away.

About: I have had 2-4 pets in my home for my entire life and they have always been cared for lovingly and well. I am consistently trusted to check in on or dog/house sit for family and friends. I am a college student home for the summer so I have full availability during days and nights. I am willing to overnight sit and drop in throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard and two small elderly dogs. They are crate trained and can stay separate from the dogs I am dog sitting if needed. They are friendly and low energy. All size dogs welcome for my services!

My Yorkie is a rescue and he has stress/anxiety and separation issues. I had him only a few months when I began having Sarilyne coming to my house while I was working. Sarilyne was able to establish trust and security to my dog immediately. She is a very sweet, kind and patient and punctual person who I trust to come into my home to care for dog.

About: I grew up on 6 acres of land caring for virtually every type of pet you could imagine for the first 15 years of my life. I even started a YouTube channel when I was 13 years old and accumulated 41k followers and over 26 million views, just by sharing my love and compassion for animals! I currently have 3 dogs, 3 cats, a snake, and a bird and would love to help you and your fur babies in your time/s of need. I cannot do overnight housesitting at this time, but I can spend the days at your home if you need :) I currently stay home during the day with my sweet, gentle, animal-loving 1-year-old girl, and only work 3 days a week for a few hours. When I’m not home, my boyfriend is so we have all the time in the world to give your fur babies the time and attention they need and deserve! I am an above-and-beyond type of sitter, not just an ‘only what is in the job description’. I want to give the type of care that I would want my own fur babies to receive!

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds — including dogs, cats, small animals, and even senior pets. My care includes feeding, walking, administering medication, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I take pride in providing dependable, safe, and loving care so pet owners can feel confident their companions are in good hands. I’m currently a stay at home mom, both my kids are now in school full time. I would love to be able to help others with their pets while I’m home. I have an unfenced yard but would walk them as much as needed. I’m also able to crate train if needed. I currently have no pets in the home.
