“Leslie was just what I was looking for to help me with my anxious dog as I went away for the weekend. She is very easy to communicate with and responsive. She was great about arrival and departure times and kept my dog and my house safe. My dog was definitely less stressed when I got home compared to drop in visits which we have done in the past. I will use her again for sure.”

“Marissa was fantastic! This was our first time hiring someone from Rover to stay at our home with our 2 cats and 2 dogs and she exceeded our expectations! Prior to our trip she happily came to our home a few times to meet with them, to help them (and us) be more comfortable. Marissa kept great communication with me the entire trip, sent pictures and videos, and even gave each of our dog's a bath! She is professional, dependable, and personable. Marissa genuinely loved and cared for our animals like her own. So happy that we found her!”
“Petey and Lola had a great time with Daisy. She sent me pictures and videos of them everyday. I could tell how much the dog loved her, because even though he was happy I was home, he was sad to see her go. Daisy was also super respectful of my home. I would not hesitate to hire her again!”

“Margerita was great. She would give me updates to let me know how things were going. She also sent me pictures of my dog Gia and kitten Kitty. It was a great relief to know they were being cared for by someone who really cares about animals.”

“We used Alisha again for house siting, and couldn’t have been happier! She sent us multiple pictures of our fur babies happy as can be! We felt safe and at ease knowing our animals and house was safe!”

About: Growing up on the farm, there was no shortage of canines in my life starting very early. Companions, service dogs, working dogs, strays who wandered up and never left, I’ve taken care of almost every shape and size of dog! Starting with the chocolate lab I saved up for from my local rescue at 8 years old, to my most recent geriatric chihuahua, I love them all! I’m an artist with a very flexible schedule looking to fill a need in my community! I can accommodate nearly every shape and size of situation—especially holidays and last minute bookings! As someone with very high standards, I only wish to provide the services that I absolutely expect for my pets! You can always count on me to follow your instructions thoroughly and to the letter; your pet’s healthy and safety and your satisfaction as an owner is of the utmost importance to me!
“Alora did a great job watching our dog at our house. Winnie was very well taken care of while we were away for 2 weeks. We strongly recommend Alora for dog sitting, walking, and overall care! We look forward to going out of town and booking her again.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I've handled different kinds of breeds. All dogs have different personalities and I've been able to adapt to all. I'm good at paying close attention to detail if I notice something if off when it comes to my clients pets. I treat all their pets as if they were my own! I am currently working towards school and I am unemployed at the moment. I have an open availability, unless I have another client during that time. I have an open backyard with a fence for my dogs to run around. One of my dogs is playful and the other is on the reserved side. I make sure they get all their energy out! In my clients home, I make sure there are frequent potty breaks and playtime. I also make sure your house stays cleaned as far as toys & such.
About: I got both of my dogs when they were 3 months old, so I know how to potty train, leash train, and teach basic commands. I am able to give medications if needed and I know how to deal with even the stubborn dogs. I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I'll have plenty of time to play with and check on your furry friends during the day/week! I always let the pet make the first move to build trust and recognition. I am a very attentive person and will be sure to make certain the pet has plenty of food, water, comfort, and engagement at all times.
“We are so thankful for Katie! We were gone all day for a wedding and we were able to enjoy that without having to worry about our dogs. She sent check ins and was super flexible. Our dogs loved her!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and at this moment I have 2 friendly dogs; a 13 year old terrier mix and a 2 year old mini pitcher. I have a quiet clean (not scrubbed just cozy) home. Dogs are able to sit on couch, sleep with me in my king bed, have snack breaks and go in the backyard for potty breaks and to play fetch. My fenced backyard has a large grass area and a covered patio, we spend lots of time hanging out there on nicer days. I own my home in a nicer neighborhood since 2012. I'm super casual and easy going with a drug, smoke and alcohol free home. Your dogs will be spoiled! Dogs have lots of indoor and outdoor play time. If dogs have thier own dog food, I'll put the other dogs outside to make sure they get thier meal times otherwise I have plenty of blue buffalo dog food I mix with Purina. A morning potty out back while I prepare and separate dog bowls then they can all come in unless a dog is on a special diet then ill feed them separately. My backyard is fenced with locked gates. They get treats throughout the day and a dinner before bed. Then if they want to sleep on the bed with me they can otherwise there's thick blankets on the floor near me.
“Brittany provides outstanding care for our two dogs every time we are on vacation. Her dedication and love for our pets give us complete peace of mind. We appreciate the regular updates and highly recommend her reliable and compassionate service."”


About: I have cared for animals my entire life, because I grew surrounded by them. My goal is to work with any type of animal. Currently I’m studying to become a veterinarian, having this opportunity helps me get more experience and become better at it. Besides my personal life, I’ve taken courses in college to understand better animal behavior and learn more about it! I’ll always do my best to keep your loved ones safe and happy! I’m currently studying in College, but I have plenty of time after 2pm during Monday to Thursday. During Friday and Weekends I’m free and always available for any services! I live in a house that has plenty of space and is fenced. I also have a really friendly dog that loves to play around animals. If your fur baby is more comfortable inside the house, we have plenty of space inside where they can run and play!
“I had a last minute trip and called Nina last minute and of course she could assist me since she is retired. She did a great job watching Jack and kept me informed. I am so happy I have found Nina she is a life saver and all my dogs love her!”


About: I love animals and would love to help you watch yours if you're out or take them on walks for you! I had a German-Shorthaired Pointer/Labrador mix for 11 years, he passed away recently but brought years of joy and experience with a highly-energetic dog. I recently got my first cat, and I have lived with several other dogs and cats. I do not have any professional experience grooming or dealing with animals, but I am more than willing to help out with letting dogs out, taking them on walks, etc. I definitely have plenty of experience walking dogs because of my little guy. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I currently have quite open availability, almost any day and time should work with some notice, and I will try to make it work regardless. I have a fenced-in yard where a dog can go outside/play fetch. I have 1 cat, but he can be kept in a separate area of the house if preferred.
About: I have always loved animals and my first job was as a dog groomer which i did for about a year and a half.As a dog groomer I would take the dogs on walks, brush, bathe, blow dry, brush their teeth, clip nails and i have shaved a dog on occasion. I also have 2 beautiful doggies of my own. One is a crazy hyper Australian shepard! I am a mom that works from home. I would love to be able to make some money during hard times and be able to take care pets. Since im home all day I have the time. On weekends I also am pretty open. I have a fenced yard with room to play and a shaded patio. I can also crate your dog if needed. I have 2 friendly doggies of my own for your doggo to play with as well ❤️
“Cyndi was an amazing sitter for our Sprinkles. We came home to her being as happy and cared for as if we were at home with her the whole time. She kept us up to date with pictures and check-ins and we felt comfortable with our time away. I highly recommend her for bookings and look forward to booking with her in the future.”

About: I grew up around cats and dogs! I've always loved caring for my animals and assisting my friends and neighbors with basic training. I recently got my puppy and he's been my heart and soul since! Jordan's pet experience involves taking care of his chihuahua and a couple reptiles throughout his life . i work a part time job with a very flexible schedule. i love staying busy and being outside. I enjoy taking my dog to the park, as well as walking him everyday. Jordan's schedule will be more open than mine but we try to do as much as we can together ! Jordan and I always keep an eye on our dog, always making sure he isn't getting into what he isnt supposed to. I like to keep a clean enviorment, as well as provide him with enough water and making sure he has food ready for him, I think we spoil him too much.

We are grateful for your professionalism and look forward to your services in the future. Thank You!

Margerita was a wonderful and professional house sitter! We needed someone to stay overnight with our dog while we were gone and take care of my brood of cats. She was punctual, checked in often, sent photos, and left the house clean. We would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
