“Haley did an awesome job caring for my two cats while I was away. They were very shy at first but she persevered and they warmed up to her. I definitely will hire her again!”
“Britany was an amazing pet sitter. She came to our home twice a day for over a week. We have three kittens all under 1 year so there were some special instructions about feeding and keeping them apart at times. Britany went above and beyond to make sure all our cats had the care and attention they needed while we were gone. She gave detailed updates as well as included numerous photos after each scheduled visit. Once you meet her you know she has the biggest heart! We need to go out of town soon and plan to book Britany again!”
“We booked Leesa last minute to check in on our dogs so that we could go away for an overnight trip. We haven’t used a sitter outside of our family in a long time, but we’re happy to say that our boys have a new friend! We will definitely be booking Leesa for future trips!”
“She was amazing! Ivy can be a little bratty, but Emma was awesome and got her to warm up quickly! Will definitely rebook with her!!! Always prompt, kind, and caring!!!”
“Yolena was incredibly helpful and left robust notes at the end of her visit that left me feeling sure that my baby was well-taken care of. She communicated well and even helped with mail without being asked. Would highly recommend Yolena to any pet parent!”
“Monroe has been great with checking on our cats! She always writes a great summary of each visit, and takes precious photos! We feel so confident that our cats are getting so much love when she comes to visit :) we are grateful for Monroe, and will definitely ask to book with her for our future travels!!”
“Sierra took great care of our 2 kitties and our turtle! We came home to a clean house, clean litter boxes, and plenty of food and water for everyone. We loved all the pictures she sent us each day as well. We would definitely hire Sierra again!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for a variety of animals throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, a parakeet, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, fish, a bearded dragon, and a red tail boa. I LOVE animals. When I was a kid I would even spend my weekends at our local pet shop holding and playing with their animals. I am a mother of two teenagers, and have been a small business owner, so I am extremely responsible, reliable, caring, attentive to detail, and have the skills to do anything necessary to care for your pets. I am available most of the time, and my time is flexible. I recently sold my half of my small business and am now taking some time for myself (that I want to fill with animals!), so I am almost always available and flexible. We have a fenced in yard, but we also live in a beautiful historic neighborhood and love taking walks around the neighborhood and to the park as often as possible.
About: I'm a dog mom of 2 bull Terriers. Have had several different breeds my entire life. I love them all and enjoy each and every one of them! I currently work a full time 8-5 job. Looking to eventually take care of animals full time! This is part time for me at the moment. I will take care of your babies just as I would my own. I have several references on my care for my animals and theirs. I'm honest and caring.
“This was my first time using Rover for my 2 dogs and Keira was Great! From my first request to the time she completed the drop in visits she was very professional. She was prompt with responding to me and extremely polite. I appreciated all the communication with updates and pictures. I will definitely ask Keira to help us again in the future.”
“Marisha has taken care of our 3 cats several times. She is conscientious and excellent at comminicating. She has also been willing to feed community cats (at our request) that stop by. She has gone above and beyond on a couple of occasions. I will hire her again.”
“Great! I needed a dog walker unexpectedly and she responded immediately and walked my (very hard to manage) large puppy. I got a nice picture of my sweet and worn out puppy after her walk.”
“I Highly recommend Abbi, she is very kind and understanding! I know she took good care of my kitties and they both loved her. Even the one who usually doesn’t come put for people let her hold him and cuddle.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6. I’m great with all sizes, breeds and ages as I’ve helped multiple dogs give birth and taken care of geriatric dogs. I have volunteered at Our Farm Sanctuary and I currently foster for The Rescue Haven :) My life has always been surrounded by dogs, I love my animals more than anything. The first thing I do when I wake up is take care of the pups, take them on a walk and then give them their breakfast and enrichment bowls/mats. I base my daily routine off my pets! I have fenced in yard and three fixed golden retrievers that are sweethearts. If you use a crate, I do ask that you provide that as I only have 2 of my own and they are occupied by my two youngest dogs. I have to crate Tucker and Dixie because they will eat anything when they’re bored, INCLUDING a wall 🤣 the crate will be cleaned and sanitized before pickup. I also ask that you provide your own food, that way there’s no upset bellies! I have plenty of natural treats if you’re okay with your dog having them
“A kind, communicative, and thorough pet sitter. She did a great job with my cat’s drop-in visits during the week and I had no issues. Attentive and did what I asked plus more! I’d recommend Heavyn-Ley.”
About: Throughout my years I have taken care of a variety of animals ranging from lizards, cats, dogs, snakes, skinks, and many more. Throughout this time with these loving animals I have learned so many valuable tools regarding pet care. Some include safe/healthy treats, handling, working with behavioral issues, knowledge regarding toxic household plants, exercise needs, and more. My goal is to provide a welcoming, safe, and fun environment for your beloved family member. I am currently a nursing student therefore, I am unavailable on Tuesdays and Thursdays due to college. However, weekdays and weekends aside from these dates I am free to provide loving care to your animals past 1pm. Regarding my yard, I live next to a residential four way stop. I possess a spacious fenced in side yard followed by an open area on the other side composed of thick trees for dogs that love to explore. If you feel your dog needs to be crated, I also have options available for this.
About: I come from a “pet family” and I’ve cared for almost every pet imaginable! I have particular strength with large breed dogs of all ages! Equipped with puppy, as well as elder care. I am self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I have recently lost my too elderly dogs and have plenty of love and supplies left over! I have large crates, training pads, bowls, leashes, toys, treats etc. There is plenty of space in the house and yard, including a full basement.

“Sara is a detail oriented pup-lover who is absolutely obsessed with her own labradoodle, Lorenzo, and truly bonds with dogs more than other humans. I've seen her take amazing care of her own animals, as well as mine - she my go-to puppy sitter when I'm out of town. You lil poochie pal with be in great hands Sara!”
Angie M.
“If you're looking for someone that will love and care for your pet the way that you do, Angie is your girl! I have always been so hesitant to leave my dogs in the care of other people but when I found Angie I just knew it was the perfect fit! My two wild dogs love her so much and I know she loves them just as much. I trust Angie with my dogs and my home whenever I am stuck at a long day of work or out of town on vacation. 5 out of 5 stars isn't enough of a rating for her, I give her a 10!”

Mercy M.
“I’ve known her for quite a long while now and seen many different sides and no matter what, our dog is something she is always making sure to have cared for. She properly trained and re-nourished a very weak and vulnerable dog and turned him to a healthy, muscular, loving companion that we are always making more & more progress with. Whilst being around my cats she is still the sweetest and most loving, even usually going out of her way to buy them their favorite wet foods & treats & such. She’s an amazing, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver to animals of all types, as long as it’s an animal, she’ll love it & care for it with kindness.”
Marica G.
“Marica is fantastic! She is genuine and reliable and just a really great person. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and will absolutely be having her stay with Buster again. It's great to feel free to travel and know that your pet and your home are well cared for.”
