“My pups and I all love Meagan! I have two shy dogs and the shyer one especially took to Meagan immediately. She’s so great with them and gives them all the love! Meagan gives my dogs the level of care that not only I as a dog mom would give them, but also as a full-time Rover sitter myself. I would highly recommend Meagan!”



“Siarra was phenomenal and kind to come watch my pup on short notice while providing fantastic care and an amazing attitude! She went out of her way and took my pup walking and played with her the entire time - highly recommend Siarra for any pup parent!”


“Ana was so attentive to my dogs. I got a story about my babies with lots of pictures with every visit. She also helped me when our alarm system needed new batteries . Ana went above and beyond, and I can't express well enough how much I appreciate her.”


“Madison was awesome! She was flexible with our introductory visit and the care schedule and accommodated our every need. Madi always sent detailed visit information each and every time, including cute pictures and lots of cuddles. My pups were immediately at ease with Madi as soon as she first met them, you can tell she really loves pets and I was very at ease and confident in her care. She was always on time and followed their care perfectly by memory (because I forgot to leave instructions!), down to giving them their daily medication. I would recommend Madison and will definitely book her again!”


“As a Rover sitter myself, I’m picky about who takes care of my dogs. Sofia did a great job!! She communicated with me very well about how they behaved during the visit, which I really appreciated since both my pups are pretty shy. She really went above and beyond to make them comfortable and make sure they went potty. At the meet and greet, she even got some tail wags from my shyer pup - who doesn’t take to people super well - so I felt very comfortable leaving them in Sofia’s hands!”


“Marissa came to our home to feed and play with our kitten twice a day for about a week. She was wonderful with communication, made time to come over twice before the booking even began to figure out logistics and get to know our pet, and even bought her a new toy while we were away! She sent lots of great photos and videos from every visit and made us feel completely comfortable leaving our kitty at home. When our flight was delayed coming home she came for an extra visit. 100% would recommend!”


“We had a big hiccup at first and Cortney did her best to help. We are very appreciative of how she handled it. Pepper seemed to take to her very well. Thank you again so much!!”


“Mary has been WONDERFUL with our pups. She is sure to give lots of love to our two older babies, while still being able to handle our mess of a heeler puppy 😆 she has been very communicative during her visits, and is sure to check in with us when something seems out of the ordinary. We will continue to book Mary as long as she'll continue accepting our requests!”


About: With 15+ years of animal care experience, I know every pet has their own personality! Whether it’s walks, tricks, or cuddle time, I love creating positive, fun experiences while keeping pets happy, safe, and loved. I’m a full time photographer so I usually work on the weekends and am at home cuddling with my pups or editing during the week! So I’m usually available most weekdays, day or night! I treat every animal like it’s family! I love my own puppers like they’re my children. To say they’re spoiled is an understatement. I’ll do everything in my power to make sure your fur baby is loved and safe.


“Followed instructions completely about care for my cats. I have 7 cats so their care is not for the faint of heart, but she did wonderfully. She also did the little extras that make her a definite person I will use again. She gets top rating.She also only lived a few blocks away so it made it convenient for both of us.”


About: Spacious house to play in. I have 3 dogs, a Great Dane and 2 German shepherd mix, all very friendly. I would love to accommodate your pups needs. I am a SAHM and I am home all day, I would love to give your fur babies all the love while you’re out and about. Potty breaks are every 2-4 hours unless you have different time frames. We will always work and respect your boundaries and rules. :) I no longer have a yard for the pups but I can guarantee that they will get all the attention and exercise possible. I promise to gain your trust, and love your babies while you’re out of town.

“Tyler treated my pup as one of his own. He took great care of my dog and the house. He was fantastic at communicating, was there when he said he would be, and was flexible. Highly recommend!”



“I have a very strong and playful dog. This was the first time I've had to get a sitter and I was worried about being able to find someone I felt confident could handle him. Rachel was wonderful and showed me I have nothing to worry about. She sent me an adorable photo of him and had a great write up of everything that went on while she was here. It made me smile and laugh. I enjoyed reading about my dog's usual goofiness and that he was pretty well behaved. I do hope she'll be willing to take him on again! Thank you!!!!”


About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs in the home and became the local animal care taker. From horses, to cats, to chickens and dogs I did it all. I then moved on to have 4 children and excited to show them what it looks like to care for animals of all types! I have a heart for taking care of the ones around me and would love to care for your animal as if they were my own. I have cared for puppies and kittens and took care of my own dog as she grew old and eventual passed. We are a homeschooling family and would love to use this as a time to get out and walk and spend some time loving on animals as we havent been able to get one of our own yet. We have a large yard to run and play and if we are at your home for the day I will follow any instructions to make sure your loved one is well cared for.

About: I’m a very reliable person to trust with your animals. I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child and have owned my own animals for 8 years now. I have taken care of both cats and dogs since they were kittens/puppies. I can help your animals in any stage of life. I currently working as a teacher so I am completely available this summer. I am looking to keep busy and help out in the community. I always make sure to keep an eye on the animals I watch. During walks I like to read the animals body language to make sure they feel happy and save. I also always am aware of my surroundings so if you dog doesn’t like other dogs then I’ll make sure to avoid other around.

“Laila was wonderful! She really went above and beyond for our Oliver and home when she dropped in. She was so sweet and kind, and gives great belly rubs according to Oliver. Would love to have her watch our boy if we ever need to in the future.”
