“Checks in on our two doggies to let them out. Is very caring and communicates daily with text and pictures. Was able to start right away and even helped us through the process of using the app. Thank you for taking care of our boys.”


“Caitlin did an awesome job of taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation, especially since they were too shy to come out and visit with her every day. I would recommend her to anyone wanting first rate fur baby care while you are gone. She is caring, loving and professional.”


“Beth is amazing. From the meet and greet to the status updates, she surpassed my expectations. She loved my dogs and took excellent care of them while I was out of town. She arrived on time for each visit, played with them, fed and watered them, and kept them company. I am very particular about who I allow to take care of them, and Beth meets my standards. I will book Beth for all of my travel in the future. You will not be disappointed when you trust her with your pets.”


“Tiffany does a great job taking care of my cats when I go away. I’m not a technical wizard so she goes above and beyond helping me with the app.”


“Patient will my cats who take awhile to warm up to people. Administered medication.”


“Tara did an excellent job, especially with communication. I felt informed & the dogs loved her! They definitely enjoyed having play time & snacks with her. She really went above & beyond, even offering to water my plants. Thank you again! ♥️”



“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: 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

“Skye cared for my 2 cats while I was away and they were so happy! She did an outstanding job. Very punctual, sent pictures every day and loved them ❤️”


“Alexis was great! Kept us up to date on everything and sent pics! We felt very comfortable.”


“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!”


“He did a great Job. He is very professional and do actually care for the dog. I’m very thankful to Tim because when he got home for the drop in visit, he found my dog out of the kennel, my dog had made a mess and Tim cleaned up. He didn’t have to do it but he went that extra mile. That was very nice of him. Thanks so much for helping Tim!”

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.

“Rebekah took care of our babes like they were her own. She’s attentive & communicated throughout our vacation, which allowed me to enjoy it with out being preoccupied with any concerns at home. 10/10 recommend!”


About: I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs my entire life, and we’ve always shared a natural bond built on mutual respect and affection. I care for every pet as if they were my own, knowing how much they miss their families when they’re away. My goal is to provide comfort, love, and companionship so they feel safe and supported in your absence. I also understand how important routine is for animals, and I always follow your instructions carefully to maintain the consistency they need. I am currently working part-time from home. My job schedule is flexible. I wake up at 530 am and can stay up as long as needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own—offering affection, companionship, and a calm presence to reduce any stress or loneliness they may feel in your absence. I keep food and water areas clean, scoop litter boxes, clean up after your pets, and ensure your home stays tidy. I respect your space as if it were my own. I’m happy to send photos or short updates so you can feel reassured that your pet is doing well while you're away. I show up on time, follow instructions carefully, and am fully committed to the well-being of your pets and your home.

“Brandi was absolutely wonderful! I felt very comfortable leaving my senior pups and cat in her care and will definitely use her again! She was good with communicating and sending lots of candid shots of our fur babies. I highly recommend her :)”


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.


“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 taken care of animals a majority of my life, and I've loved every second of it. I'm ready to give your pets the care they need and become their new best buddy! I'm currently on a brief leave from work due to a move, so i have plenty of time to play with and take care of your fur babies. I am available most days at the moment, we can discuss what works best for both of us. While I can not take any pets in my home, I am willing to accommodate to any needs your pets have within the comfort of their (and your) own homes.

Irina C.
“Irina has been a terrific pet sitter for our two cats. She arrives on time, feeds the cats, empties the litter box and spends time playing with them. She sends us pictures and videos of the cats which are a great treat while we are away. She has also helped by taking out the trash and bringing in our mail. Additionally, we left for the airport on one of our trips in the very early morning and didn't realize the storm we had overnight had blown one of our shutters off the house. She let us know and asked if we wanted her to help move it out of the way. She truly goes above and beyond. If you are looking for the best pet sitter ever, give Irina a call!!”

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.”

Kylie C.
