Rebecca did an excellent job caring for Colby and Daisy while we were on vacation! She sent frequent updates, as requested, and was clear and communicative when discussing availability and even brought in our mail! Really great experience, we will certainly use her again in the near future!

Terry is absolutely amazing!! I can’t say enough good things about her and how she went above and beyond in taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town. She loved and cared for them like they were her own, sending us updates and videos each day. We had an amazing vacation and was able to not worry a bit about how the dogs were adjusting - they were so happy and got so much attention with Terry!! She will be the first person we call whenever we need a sitter! Thank you Terry!!

We booked Michaela for house sitting and pet sitting for our two senior dogs. One of our dogs requires medication twice a day and has mobility issues due to advanced arthritis. Our other dog has a reserved personality and can be very difficult with new "humans". Michaela was WONDERFUL! She took time and care to make sure our "difficult child" was comfortable with her, she is the "dog whisperer", he did warm up to her and we even got a picture of him snuggling with her while we were away. She also took special care with our dog with medical needs and made sure we knew he had had his medication as scheduled. Her communication was great, letting us know how the day was going etc.! We felt completely at ease with her care! 10 stars!!!

She was great with Bailey, hiking with her too. We like that she treats her as if she is her Dog but at the same token lets us know if she’s doing something that we haven’t discussed she would contact us. You know how hard it is to be gone for 2 weeks so we are happy to have Shanisa as another friend/family & dog sitter in our life she very trustworthy.

Savannah took great care of our puppies for a few days while staying in our home. Everything was well looked after, and we felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She did a good job, and we would definitely call her again in the future.

Excellent expirience all around. This was our first time using Rover after our original sitter fell through. Chris was fantastic at communicating and sent so many updates and photos we felt like our dogs were with us on our trip. Chris not only let our dogs out and fed them but really cared for them and made sure they were happy and comfortable while we were gone. We will absolutely use Chris again!

Rachel stayed with my pups for five days, and happened to be available at the last minute, which was a huge help. She was timely, communicative, and my dogs took to her right away. I felt very comfortable leaving the dogs in her care. She was responsive, sent super cute pics of the dogs and gave them their meds as instructed. She was even willing to help me get one of the dogs’ meds refilled. Overall, she was a pleasure to work with, and I felt very confident in her capabilities.

Jonaika is a mature, kind, responsible and communicative young woman. She stayed in our home with our two dogs for a holiday week, and provided loving and consistent care. She has a warm temperament which dogs loved, flows instructions, and cares for pets with great accountability. I highly recommend Jonaika for any pet sitting situation.

About: As a current animal science student, I have a deeper understanding of animal health, behavior, and overall well-being. Allowing me to provide more attentive and informed care. I’m comfortable with maintaining structure and trust, following specific care instructions, and making each furry friend feel safe and at ease! With my flexible schedule in the afternoon and all day on weekends, walks, check-in, and extended care are super achievable, providing dedicated attention! Making it easy to give your pets the time and reliably while you are away! Your pets safety, well-being, and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to closely follow all instructions and maintain a secure and clean environment. I believe trust is just as important as care, so I communicate clearly, provide updates, and make sure you feel confident while your pet is with me. I deeply respect boundaries and privacy for you and your pet, while still giving them the attention and affection they need.

About: Hi there! My name is Brianna, and I’ve worked as a kennel assistant, caring for animals of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m skilled in nail trims, medication administration, and insulin injections, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience working with dogs, cats, and exotic animals — from reptiles to small mammals and birds — and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I am working a full time job- but have plenty of time in the afternoons! Pet care is a big part of my daily life. I’m used to following feeding, walking, and medication schedules from my experience as a kennel assistant, so caring for animals fits naturally into my routine. I make time each day to check in on pets, go for walks, and give them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s early-morning feedings, midday walks, or evening playtime, I always make sure animals stay on their normal schedule. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like extra work to me — it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to every day When I care for pets, I focus on keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable. I always follow their normal routines — from walks and feedings to playtime and cuddles — so they feel right at home. In a client’s home, I treat your space and pets with the same care I give my own. I can also handle nail trims, medication, and insulin when needed, and I make sure every animal gets plenty of love and attention. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or exotic pets, I do my best to make sure they feel calm, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

Matthew took good care of our very large, reactive dog while we were away. He sent us photos daily and was good at communicating if he had any questions. We will definitely be asking Matthew to watch our pup next time we go away.

Terry did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of my two dogs and cat for an entire week. She was very professional and provided regular videos and updates. All the animals looked so happy. Our cat is shy with strangers and it only took a couple days for her to start warming up to Terry. I know they were well taken care of. The house was also very clean which is a nice relief when you get home after traveling. I would 100% recommend Terry and will be using her again.

Courtney watched our girl while we got away for a holiday weekend trip with our grandkids. Whole we were away it snowed 6 inches! We were surprised to arrive home not only to an orderly home and Happy dog, but to a fully cleared driveway that Courtney has shoveled by hand! During her time with our epileptic dog, Courtney made sure that all her meds were given on time and she made mental notes about her neurological state, which she conveyed to us when we arrived home. Our weekend was much more relaxing knowing that Courtney was there to handle any medical emergency (thankfully there weren't any).

Casey was amazing again!! We cannot recommend her enough, especially since our dog can be a little nervous and not the best walking with new people. Casey made sure he was comfortable and still took him out for walks! She also kept us updated and communicated very well during the whole stay!
