I can’t say enough good things about Julie! She was professional and took amazing care of my pups (and fish) while we were out of town. Before her overnight stay she even came to meet me and the pups and brought them treats. I have no doubt they were well taken care of and will absolutely use her devices again in the future!

Melissa was wonderful! She took great care of our little dog in our home. We met her the day before and felt so comfortable leaving her with our spoiled pup. She's very friendly and our little boy really seemed to love her. She sent pictures so we could see he was doing great. Thank you Melissa. We'll be calling on you again. ?❤

We loved working with Erin! She was very accommodating on a semi-last minute in-home sitting stay. She provided great updates and pictures. She took great care of our active Australian Shepherd and home. We would gladly work with her again!

Lena is a gem! We couldn't ask for a kinder gentler soul to care for our pups in our home. She was very attentive with our elderly fur babies which left us at ease to leave home and enjoy our vacation. We've already booked a second trip with her! It's a wonderful feeling knowing you can entrust your pups (and home) to such a sweet person. 5 out of 5 stars? We'd give her 10 stars if we could!

Desiree watched our two pups over the weekend at our house and we could not be happier. She was our first experience using Rover and she has set the bar high! Our meet and greet helped to calm my husband and I’s nerves. She is on top of communication with quick responses. Our dogs were loved and we could tell they had a great time with Desiree. Hoping we can have her watch them again in the near future.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years now, maybe even more. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, goats, pigs, ducks, fish, and birds. Recently, I was able to get a job working at home, so now I am able to take care of more pets. I’m currently working from home now, so I am able to travel to pet sit or have more pets in my home. I do work 6pm-2am also. I take care of animals just like I would my own, make sure they are fed, comfortable, and get to go out to exercise. I will also say that I care for the pets depending on the owners preference.

About: I have over 30 years experience in pet care which stems from a lifelong love of animals. I have over 16 years experience in dietary needs, general wellness, exercise, and medication administration. What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love of animals, and attention to detail. I treat every pet like family, ensuring safety, comfort, and personalized care. Available for all professional and VIP services. I work remotely and my wife works 13 hour shifts. My daughter is 17 and loves the freedom of the house to herself. I have a blank slate when it comes to availability unless we have family time planned. If stays require being on site most of the day, I will need wi-fi available. I will take care of your pet as you instruct, always keeping safety in mind, but I will not do anything I don't deem suitable for your pet (even if instructed)!

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors pets in the past while they’ve been out of town. Taking care of pets is something that I enjoy doing. I currently work full time and am looking for extra work mostly on the weekends but occasionally weekdays. Weekends I’m available at all times and weekdays I’m available mostly in the evenings. Wherever I’m providing care for pets, I make sure that they are in safe environments. Cleanliness is very important. I follow directions that I receive from the owners of the pets that I’m watching and give their pets attention.

About: Growing up, we had a Chihuahua, a terrier and beagles. I now currently have 3 labs and 1 German Shepherd therefore I’ve been around and am good with dogs of all sizes. I’ve experienced the puppy stage and with my oldest dog reaching 11 years old currently I’m experiencing the senior stage. I work full-time, so a lot of my free time will be in the evenings and weekends. However, my schedule fluctuates and I have short days and days off. With having four dogs and six cats currently in my home I won’t be offering any in home services as of right now or overnight stays in your home. I will be offering leashed walks of all durations and drop ins for your home on weekends that I have available.
