“Melissa was perfect. This is my first time using Rover and was very nervous as I have heard some negative stories. Melissa offered a meet&greet prior to me booking her and that definitely helped. Melissa followed instructions very well, she did everything I had asked. She was great with my dog and was great at communication. I will definitely use her service again and highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you very much!”
“Always a little scary leaving your family pets in the care of a stranger, but after our meet & greet with Elizabeth I knew she was the right one! Our cats need daily meds which can be challenging, and she took this on without hesitation. She went above and beyond and cleaned the litter boxes out and put new litter in before we came home which was a wonderful surprise, and we’re so appreciative of it. I would absolutely recommend her and use her again to watch our cats in the future!”
“My search is over! I was hesitant to return to the Rover app after having family care for my now 13yr old yorkie while away. Heather has such a patient and attentive personality that put me at ease and that is impressive as a Type A dog mom!! I'm already planning to rebook with her!!!”
“Leo has been letting our 2 huskies out daily through the work week for 2+ months now. He has been very kind and patient with our fur babies (one of our dogs is 13 years old and needs a lot of extra attention). Leo always makes sure to keep us updated on our dogs and has been very reliable. Highly, highly recommend Leo to watch your fur babies!”
About: I have owned dogs throughout my whole life. At one point Our pack totaled 6. I’ve owned 2 horses, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and a cat. I worked as an apprentice vet tech until the veterinarian died unexpectedly of a heart attack. I have recently pursued more education regarding grooming. I have groomed my own dogs and friends dogs over the years. I am conscientious and will never allow a dog to be in pain seeking medical care immediately. I would like it to be part time to start with the option of going full time further down the road. I am working on grooming lessons, and my current part time job. I believe in being observant of their behaviors and to respond accordingly. Our dogs receive much love and play time. They are allowed to be with us and on our furniture. I realize that many owners frown upon that and I will honor their wishes when caring for their pet
About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was a kid, my home was my zoo. Based on this, I always had a soft spot for pets and took every chance to take care of friends and family pets. As I grew up, it became my hobby to volunteer in shelters and petsit. I currently am a mom of a Husky, a Shitzu, a cat, and a fish! I would be more than happy to be there for your pet and their needs. Bonus points: As a husky mom, I can be very active. As a cat mom, I know when to give space and let them nap! I work as a Bilingual tutor in a high school in the mornings. However, this summer I will be available 24/7 to attend to your pet's needs. When it comes to my home, I have a big backyard where your pet can have the freedom to run freely and two friendly dogs who are up to play 24/7, however, there's the option of opting for the company if your pet is not comfortable around other pets. When it comes to a client’s home, I'll ensure the safety of the pet and the house, reporting everything in detail and offering extended stay periods.
“Terry is amazing! So accommodating, thorough, and took excellent care of our baby! We had a relaxing day away knowing our girl was in good hands while we were gone. We’ll be using Terry’s services again.”

“Ashley was very kind and communicative. I was so worried about leaving my anxious cat alone, but Ashley was so patient with her and I’m sure she was in great hands!”
About: I have had dogs since I was 8 years old and I truly enjoy all the warmth and love a dog brings into a home. I have taken in senior dogs (10+) over the years and had extensive experience with blind, and deaf senior dogs. I have experience with incontinence, mobility issues, special dietary needs, medication injections, and palliative care. I also have experience with young puppies (under 6 months) along with experience doing dog training with my own dogs throughout my life. Both me and my husband have transitioned to remote work so we are home throughout the day, which is excellent for senior dogs who need extra care. I have a partially fenced in yard and live close to several hiking trails. Depending on your dogs needs, the amount of time between potty breaks can be adjusted as well as the amount of exercise given throughout the day. Dogs are all fed separately while water is available at all times. I do have a 3 year old rat terrier (19 pounds) who loves any and all dogs she meets - she has been around many senior dogs.
“I highly recommend Dina to care for your loving animals. She is responsive and easy to communicate with. She even sent pictures. It's not often that you find someone that makes you feel at ease knowing your animals are cared for and Dina did just that. Moving forward she is my preferred pet sitter!!!”
“Allie was absolutely amazing with our Jack!! 5⭐️ without a doubt! She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable and updated us every step of the way during her visit. Would recommend! ❤️”
“Stephanie was an amazing cat sitter! She was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to make sure my cat was happy and well cared for. She sent me daily updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind during my vacation. It was clear that my cat was in excellent hands—he looked content and comfortable in every photo. Knowing he was so well taken care of allowed me to fully relax and enjoy my trip. I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I don’t have my own pet anymore as he passed from old age. I like to take care of other people’s pets when they are on vacation and care for them with as much love as if they were my own. I will stay at your home if needed , schedule potty break services as well. I work at an elementary school so let out before I go to work and right after, evenings and bed time. I will take care of pets in clients home with care plan that fits the pets needs. Give them plenty of attention and care to take away any worries when you are away.
About: With nearly two decades of experience, I possess a strong background in pet care, including being a college vet tech student and trained in animal CPR. I have worked with a variety of animals over the years, including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and horses. My passion and love for all animals has driven me to learn the best methods of care for them. I previously ran my own dog sitting business, offering services such as walking, exercise, grooming, and administering medications. Special skills, such as training puppies and providing senior care, further strengthen my ability to meet the unique needs of each pet under my care. I’m seeking opportunities to incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I am wholeheartedly committed to fulfilling your fur babies' needs, whether it's providing care while you're away on vacation or offering assistance during your busy workdays. I am committed to providing my undivided attention and love to your pets, ensuring they receive the care, affection, and exercise they deserve. From regular walks and playtime to feeding and grooming, I take pride in catering to your pets' individual requirements, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cherished in your absence. My devotion to pet care allows you to have peace of mind, knowing your beloved companions are in reliable and caring hands. I have experience in pet and house sitting, ensuring all aspects of pet care, feeding, daily walks, playtime, and training are attended to. My training as a Veterinarian Technician from Carrington College and life experience have equipped me with the necessary knowledge and skills to provide unparalleled care for your pets. I believe that consistency, patience, and care play pivotal roles in a dog's behavior and well-being, and I apply these principles to every interaction with my own dog and all the animals I come across professionally or personally. I look forward to earning your trust and your pet’s love!
