The dogs loved Sharon. Played fetch each morning before breakfast so they could get their energy out. Medicine was given to my little special needs pup. Would highly recommend.

Dee made going on vacation a little easier knowing my pups were well cared for. I have a motion web cam and reviewing the feed made me laugh. Dee spent time playing with each dog after they were fed. They seemed to have a good time. Hank seemed a little disappointed she didn't come by the first day we were back. Great sitter.

Angela is just as her name describes...an angel! Our 2 pups absolutely loved her. She looked after them for a long holiday vacation and made sure they got tons of exercise, outside time, and cuddles. She even watered our Christmas tree and did some tidying before we got home. Communication was excellent. She allowed us great peace of mind while we were away and cannot recommend her enough!

Robyn did an excellent job taking care of our boy. Very professional and updated us every day. We had 0 issues and I would consider that she went above and beyond for our friend. Highly recommend and we will be repeat clients. Thanks Robyn!!

About: I am a passionate animal lover and have been for my entire life. I love all animals and have chosen to pursue a career as a zookeeper. I graduated from college with an Associates Degree in Zoo Science and Technology. After graduating I worked for Petco for almost 2 years. I am now currently working for Petsmart and have been for almost 2 and half years. So I have extensive knowledge and experience with both domestic and exotic animals. I have been my childhood neighbors dog sitter for the past 10 years and have been a petsitter for multiple other people including co-workers. I even have experience with small animals such as hamsters and reptiles. I treat all pets as if they are my own and would love the chance to care for yours! I am currently working part-time at Petsmart and work at least five days a week. I work mostly mornings so my afternoons are usually free! I cannot offer to watch your pet at my home, as I am renting; however, I am very comfortable visiting your home to care for your pet! I have previous experience watching pets within their homes and even have experience staying over night.

Chelsea was a great sitter for our pups while we traveled. She was a consistent communicator, gave our girls all the snuggles and love, and overall, gave us peace of mind. Would definitely use Chelsea again and recommend her to others!

Tabitha checks in on my pups when I am at work. She takes them out and plays with them. She is always response to messages and is kind. 10/10 recommend her for pet sitting services.

Christina was very helpful. I haven't use Rover for a year or more now and she made me feel comfortable as I was a bit nervous as I do have large breed dogs, one with high prey drive and one that isn't very trusting of others. She was very understanding. She went above and beyond helping with one of the pups that had a upset tummy she let me know what she found upon arrival and clean the area for me and let me know. Those are the things that us as pet parents really appreciate and helps to keeps us at ease and that is exactly what Christina did for our family.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was younger but I started dog and cat sitting about 5 years ago. I love taking dogs on walks and giving them lots of love! I love them like they are my own pets! I do a lot of seasonal work but when I am pet sitting 99% of the time the pet is my only priority as I am in between jobs. I will love your dog like they are my own! I will make sure they get daily walks and lots of love. I also will make sure they get the medicines they need and make sure they just have fun!

About: I've had dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens on my small farm. Guinea pigs, hamsters, and snakes I've been surrounded by animals of all kinds. My experience includes caring, raising, training and giving medical care if needed. I also have a degree in animal science. I'm retired, so my schedule is very flexible. I can work weekends and holidays. I am very dependable. I send pictures and daily updates. I would love the opportunity to feed, play, and insure your pets are doing well. I know how to approach animals, both timid and energetic. I have the experience to know when an animal is fine or in distress and can be trusted to give the proper care that's needed.

About: I love taking care of animals. I have taken care of cats, dogs, lizards, fish, horses, etc. so whatever you may need for your baby I can definitely help you. I am not a professional trainer, but I do train my own dogs so if you have any basic training that you want done I can definitely help your animal with that too :) I currently work from 5 AM to 4 PM Monday through Thursday. But I have Friday Saturday Sunday off all day so I will be available all times on the weekend. I do have a dog of my own that is a black lab male. He is good with other dogs and cats. My backyard is fenced, but I also have a fenced in dog park for my housing community right behind my house.

Jocelyn was kind to myself and my dog Ghost! She worked with what we asked of her and was very informative as well. She also sends good pictures while visiting. I wouldn’t look anywhere else when deciding who to book.
