“Fran is a wonderful and trusting person she is a nurse by profession loves people and animals. We had Fran watch our two dogs for a week straight two years in a row and I don't want anyone else to watch my dogs. We left instruction on what medication to give our one dog since we treat our dogs to boiled chicken with their dog food she followed instructions. I personaly would recommend her to anyone that wants great personal treatment and care for their pets.”

8. Stephanie F.
About: I grew up around dogs. At 18 I began working at Petco where I learned how to care for many different types of animals. During those six years, I became a dog trainer. I have extensive knowledge on puppy training, adult dog training, and senior care. I love all animals, and I can’t wait to meet yours. I am so excited to try this platform out. I work from home so this would be perfect for me. The only times that I would have to leave our pet alone would be at most for an hour or two. I would love to care for pets in my home, but unfortunately, I cannot at the moment because I have a senior dog who is temperamental now that he is older. I will stay in your home and respect it like my own. I will provide loving, reliable care in your pet’s familiar environment, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.


9. Mario C.

“Mario did a really nice job caring for my little cattle dog Lucy while house sitting for me! He was communicative, kind, caring, and followed the instructions I left for my dog and my house. I’ve moved into this area recently and have not been able to find a reliable pet sitter to stay in my home when I am away for work- until now :) I will definitely reach out to Mario again as my top choice. Thank you again!”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 12 years old, and have plenty of experience with varieties of personalities, sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I love animals just like you, and I have always grown up with a pet. I currently have a cat, Ellie, who is 3 years old and a Basset Hound, Blue, who is 7 years old. I am always eager to help and am here to help make life a little easier for you and your fur friend! I am currently working from home and will have more open space on my schedule until I get another in-office job. We all have personal lives, but I am very flexible with appointment dates and times and am happy to accommodate. I am not currently offering any in home services due to the small size of my duplex home. Although, I am offering at home visits during the day as well as overnight stays, both at clients homes. I will provide extra supplies as well as pick up supplies per my clients pets needs to ensure quality care for their pets. Any extra information about me or anything the client wants to know more is always welcomed!




11. Rachel L.
“Rachel was such a great pet sitter. She truly cared for my dogs and kept my home nice and neat. She even went to the extent of watering all my flowers. Rachel is a very nice person and I felt very comfortable with her staying in my house. She was the best pet sitter I have hired!! Every day she sent me a report with pictures of the dogs making me feel confident and reassured they were being loved.”


12. Holly V.

“Holly is so great!! She responds quickly, is reliable, responsible and on time. She left my house immaculate and really bonded with my cat (who hates people) and my dog. Highly recommend!! 💫”


13. Kayla N.


“Kayla is wonderful. We have a very anxious rescue dog and Lucy immediately fell in love with her. Her communication with us was wonderful. She sent us adorable pictures of both girls ❤️”


14. Nyah R.

“Nyah was so great! She was available last minute and played with my puppy the entire time. She is reliable, very knowledgeable, so nice and my dog really liked her! I would definitely highly recommend her!”


15. Christina R.

“What a great experience, for me and my dog. Christina was awesome, she sent pictures daily and left a note for us at the end of her stay. My dog was well taken care of and loved while we were away! She is now my preferred dog sitter and will get repeat business from me.”


16. Muhammed K.
“I cannot say enough good things about Mo! He is literally a godsend. He is so great with my dogs . My dogs get more excited to see him than me . I have been in so many instances where for one reason or another I could not make it in time to walk my dogs . And he has always come through. Whoever has dogs knows how important it is for you to be able to trust the person who will be taking care or walking your dogs . Ever since I found Mo, I have already been on two vacations because I feel very comfortable with him house sitting my dogs. Before I would always be hesitant and trying to rely on family that most of the time would not come through. He has even showered my dogs because they are so much more chill with him than me ! He is awesome!”


17. Jenna H.

18. Paige M.
“Paige was a former student of mine, so I've known her for many years. We also live down the street from her, so when it came time for us to find a kindhearted, responsible dog sitter, I immediately thought of asking Paige. She came over to get to know our Bella & I could see right away our Bella really liked her. Paige is super friendly and cares about keeping Bella company while we are gone. We text while we are away & love that Paige will send us pictures as we are missing our dog. Bella is very content & happy having Paige with her. I can wholeheartedly say that your pet will be in good hands with Paige as your caregiver.”


19. Amanda P.

“We were nervous about leaving our dogs with someone new, especially because our girl, Echo, is quite timid around unfamiliar people. This was our first time using Rover, and we weren’t sure what to expect. Thankfully, Amanda came to the rescue! She went above and beyond by visiting us an extra time before we left, giving us and Echo a chance to get to know her better. During our trip, Amanda sent plenty of photos, especially of Echo, showing how much love and care she was receiving. It was clear that both of our pups were in good hands. We couldn’t be happier with Amanda’s care and communication—it made our first Rover experience a great one. Amanda even went the extra mile by washing the linens from the bed she slept in, taking out the garbage, and vacuuming before we returned. We truly appreciate her thoughtfulness and would absolutely recommend her to others!”


20. Priscilla C.
“Priscilla has had over 10 years of experience of caring for and loving her own dog. As he progressed older in age she took care of him with so much love and kindness that it showed how much she took his comfort and care seriously. When I needed someone to watch my two month old puppy she was the first one to come to mind and I would trust her to help me again. She helped me with tips and can continued to check in on how I’m doing with my new puppy. Having Priscilla watch your fur baby means they will be treated like her own, including all the sweater snuggles!”
