“Caitlin was great. My cat was shy with her during the meet and greet but she was able to connect and bond during the visit with treats, brushes, and play. She was very respectful of the house and followed instructions perfectly. Thanks Caitlin!”


“Beth was fantastic to work with. She sent pictures and updates with every visit, which made it easy for us to enjoy our vacation worry free! Will definitely be using her again.”


“Very attentive to my fur babies. She had them literally eating from her hands. Erin exhibits so much love for animals and attention to detail for her work. I'm delighted I found her on Rover. Having Erin watch my fur family gave me peace of mind and put my mind at ease while I had to be away. Thank you”


“Sherry handled my 4 fur babes(2 cats,2 dogs) Perfectly! I loved the daily updates & pics. My very stand offish rescue chi was won over by Sherry’s patience & understanding & that is no small feat! The other 3 felt comfortable with her & I believe looked forward to her visits. I love that she spent quality time with them and learned their personalities. Thanks so much Sherry for easing my worries!”


About: We are a dog family through and through. My husband and I have had dogs our whole lives. Together we have always had a dog as well. Large house with a fenced in back yard. Lots of space to run. We have a large black lab/Shepard mix that requires a lot of exercise so that is a regular thing. We both work full time but will will have weekend open to watch your pets. On the weekends we are up with our dog by 6 AM and would not leave for more than a couple hours at a time. We have a fenced in backyard and a nice area for walking the dogs. We have a 5 year old 100lb lab Shepard mix. He loves other dogs but due to his size and energy other dogs don’t always love him. Would need to do a meet and greet to make sure they would be okay


“Allison did over and above while watching my two cats, exceeding any expectations I had! Through the app, Allison scheduled a meet and greet before I left, and let me know when she arrived and left during her visit. Over her 40 minute visit (I had only requested 30 min), Allison detailed everything from my cats greeting her at the door to how much they ate and played. I also received 19 pictures of them eating, playing and receiving pets. I will definitely be requesting Allison to watch my babies the next time I’m out of town! Best experience on Rover 💕”


About: Like many people, I grew up with animals. However, I’m very lucky to say that my dad was a dog trainer. At the age of zero I was his little helper. As I grew older I helped him feed, walk, wash, and train dogs. We even raised some puppies! I’d like to think that his expertise rubbed off on me, but I invite you to see for yourself! I typically work my main job (outside of Rover) from 8am-4pm, but I’m willing to walk dogs or make home visits before work. If I’m walking or visiting before work, I’d like to be done by 7am. After work, I can typically be available by 5pm. I’m also willing to care for your pet on most weekends! I do not own dogs of my own right now as I am in an apartment, but growing up with my dad being a dog trainer I was exposed to several different dogs everyday. I saw sweet dogs, aggressive dogs, stubborn dogs, you name it. I understand that, just like us, dogs and cats like and deserve respect. Each pet has their own boundaries that should be respected, and I will do my best to make sure that your pet feels respected and trusted by me.

“We were very happy with Carinna. The photos she sent, especially with Maya shows her very relaxed with Carrina. That is a feat in itself. Thank you so much. We will call again!”


About: While working in a professional environment at Jill's Pet Resort, I was entrusted with the care of a variety of pets. All sizes, breeds and personalities. I developed personal relationships with frequent visitors and treated them all as if they were my own. Within the environment I worked, I was exposed to all facets of pet care to include first aid, cleaning and providing food. This is my dedicated activity and is priority. I work solely to provide care for the pets of owners. I have no conflicts that would interfere with this goal. I live with 2 dogs, 3 birds and care for 6 tanks of fish. I have cared for my own dogs by taking them to parks for exercise or watching over them while in my fenced in back yard. I have cleaned up after accidents and also picked up after them in the yard to make sure the environment they live in is as clean as possible. I feed all my pets on a schedule to include the fish. Understanding the importance of schedules is not foreign to me. I have walked my pets while leashed and have taken them out of the home for socialization.

About: I’ve been dog and cat watching since I was 17 years old and I’m 23 now. I’m also experienced in senior pet care and comfortable with all sorts of pets! I grew up on a small farm, and I really enjoyed taking care of friends pets growing up. It was hard when I moved to be away from them, but I quickly gained more clients who trusted me with their fur babies, and that’s what I’m hoping to do here as well :) I’m currently full time however I’m always available at least two days of the week, if not more depending on the time I have before or after work. I believe in fear free practices, so in the clients home I am comfortable crating if necessary, and just hanging out to let your fur baby become comfortable with me in their space.


“Briana actually took care of our cats this time. Charlie Murphy, Mikka and Simba were well cared for. Briana sent a picture of Mikka the one day when she came to take care of them. They still had food when we got home and their litter boxes had been taken care of. I would highly recommend Briana for your furry kids!”


About: I’ve never lived a day without an animal. My family owns 2 Great Danes and a Pit Bull Terrier. 2 of which were trained by me! I love meeting new people and new animals and want to take care of your pets like they’re my own! I currently work Sundays - Tuesday from 3-11pm and accept clients who’s pets are comfortable with being left alone during an 8 hour work shift. I want your pets to be excited when I come to check on them! I always try to devote some time to play during potty breaks and become best friends with your pups. I also have experience bathing and medicating dogs old or young. Ready to make a dogsitting schedule that’ll make you happy :)

Kyle S.
“I've used Kyle on a number of occasions while I was out of town. I always felt confident that my pets were being cared for in the same manner I would. My fish were fed and the dogs were taken out, fed and kept with water. We had a couple of incidents when I was not in country and my pet needed Medical Care. Kyle took my dog to the vet to insure they were cared for.”

Dylan R.
“Dylan has watched our dogs for the last decade for both quick overnight trips and longer out of country trips. We’ve never had an issue and our dogs love him. Dylan also recently trained our new pit rescue to walk on a leash which I thought would be impossible! We can now take her anywhere without any problems.”
