“Laura was an amazing dog sitter. She was super responsive and provided us with picture updates to show just how much fun our dogs were having with her. She saved us by accepting our booking at the last minute and was so understanding of our circumstances. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future - all around an excellent experience!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Jill! She took amazing care of my three large dogs, and I could tell right away that they felt comfortable and happy around her. It’s not easy managing three pups with different personalities and needs, but Jill handled it all with such ease, patience, and love. She kept me updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. When I came home, the dogs were calm, content, and clearly well cared for. Jill is responsible, trustworthy, and truly has a heart for animals. I’m so grateful we found her, she’s a total gem and we can’t wait to book her again! 🐾”

“Jennifer is wonderful with our pets and also very considerate, leaving our house cleaner than when we left. It's nice to be able to relax on vacation without worrying about how things are going at home. With Jennifer we know everything's fine. Highly recommend her!”

About: I’m a stay home mom working as a pet care taker/nanny. I have had the pleasure to own and grow up with animals during my childhood days and into the present day. I have been working with animals for about 5 years and absolutely adore it and take pride in my work. I have experience working with llamas, alpacas, goats, and sheep. I have had also worked as a kennel attendant/assistant for a veterinary office in the past. I’m looking forward to meeting my new furry friends and my journey working for Rover. I’m a stay home mom and work as pet nanny. My schedule is super flexible, allowing me to provide optimal care for your fur baby. My daytime, evenings, and weekends are always open. I enjoy waking up every morning doing what I do for the animals and their owners. I have a pet friendly apartment and sidewalks to walk dogs. I’m very reliable and extra cautious of my surroundings and other animals near by.
“David makes our dogs feel safe and loved. They run to him as soon as they see him. He followed all our specific instructions and was very conscientious. He snuggled with them and played with them. We really appreciated how positive he was about staying with Belle and Rory. We would definitely use David again!”

“Ryan did an excellent job watching our two dogs this past weekend! They were both happy and tired when we got home. He sent lots of pictures too. You could tell he is very passionate about animals. We will definitely be using Ryan again for any pet sitting needs.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life! I’ve been hired to care for both dogs and cats and I’ve administered medication to both as well. I will make sure your pet is having fun and is getting the best care I can give. I love all animals and cannot wait to meet your fluffy family member! I’m currently in school and because of the downtime when not studying, while I am home I have the perfect schedule for caring for your pets needs. My dog chewy is fed in the morning and afternoon, in the afternoon he also takes a stomach pill. He has at least 4 walks ( or at least outdoor playtime) in a day and goes on a run in the morning. Chewy needs a good cuddle after that and sleeps at the end of the bed.
“She was soo great with the pups and kept me updated of their activities. My puppy is a bit shy and can sometimes run away but she was able to get her attention and keep her engaged in some playtime.”

“Madelyn took care of my 14-year old Siberian Husky, Kodiak, who has arthritis. She house-sat him while we were away on vacation for 12 days. She was wonderful with him, taking him on frequent short walks during the day. When we got home, we found a very neat house and a very happy (and tired!) dog. I would absolutely hire her again.”

“Laura did an excellent job caring for our high energy pointers. She was prompt, responsive, clean and considerate. Sent frequent pics during our house sit and left the house and dogs in great shape. We will definitely hire her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my own pets since I was 10. I also worked at a dog kennel and as a dog grooming assistant when I was younger, and I’ve dog-sat for other families. These experiences taught me how to safely handle dogs, help with bathing, and keep them calm and comfortable in new places. What makes me different from many sitters is my experience with senior, disabled, and recovering dogs. I’ve cared for pets after surgery and illness, including staying up overnight to watch them, hand-feeding, helping them move around, and gently taking them outside. I also cared for my disabled Lab whose back legs didn’t work, helping with bathroom needs, cleaning, and daily comfort. Because of this, I’m very patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs who need extra help, medications, or a slower pace. I treat every dog like family and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily schedule. I complete my schoolwork through flexible online classes, which allows me to be home most of the day. Because of this, I’m able to give pets frequent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I’m used to caring for pets as part of my daily routine at home, including feeding, cleaning, and making sure they are comfortable and safe. This flexible schedule allows me to be reliable and fully present for the pets in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get walks or potty breaks, and receive lots of attention and playtime. I also give any medications if needed and keep their space clean. I respect the client’s home and keep everything tidy, including cleaning up pet messes, washing bowls if needed, and making sure doors and gates stay secure. I send updates and photos so owners know their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while their family is away.
“I have a 12 year old dog and a 12 year old cat. The dog is pretty sick and needs very specific care and Jessica went above and beyond for both of them! You can tell she really cares deeply for the animals she takes care of. She sends very helpful updates, is very attentive to their needs and my pets already miss her.”
“Christine was great watching our dog, Ozzy! Ozzy can have stranger danger and Christine did a great job managing this. He was so well taken care of and so was our apartment. I highly recommend Christine.”


About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. When I was 11 I had my own dog that I took care of and eventually once I was able to drive I payed and did everything for her (she was my age). I’ve taken care of family members dogs as well. I’m currently working at a doggy boarding and daycare facility. My job is to make sure the dogs are safe, happy and healthy. We take them out to the yard and bring them in for playtime. We learn dog body language and how to deal with their body language. I currently do not have my own dog but I do work at a boarding daycare facility. If you dog needs to be crated I can easily get them in there. The facility has very high fences for when the dogs go outside. Some dogs we do have to keep on a leash outside so they do not run away. I also play with the dogs and give them lots of love. The same can be done in a clients home as well. I will do whatever is needed for the dog I am watching.
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a kid. I’ve been dog walking and house sitting since I was 10. I’ve walked all types of dogs from small to big.

About: For as long as I can remember, I have been surrounded by pets. My grandparents had plenty of dogs and cats on their farm when I was young. This probably helped develop the love and respect I have for these creatures. From a young age, I have always built a connection with most of the pets I meet. I am extremely comfortable around dogs of all sizes, which may be why dogs are very comfortable with me. I pay close attention to detail with each pet I meet-I learn their behaviors and personalities quickly so that they build trust with me. I am currently the owner of three cats, Quincey, Nabi, and Chai. I am a Cat Dad in every sense, and when I am able to buy a house, I will be a Dog Dad as well. I am currently working from home indefinitely, so my schedule is normally wide open all day long. I am very flexible with my hours, so I will do my best to accommodate your personal schedule preferences. As someone who has taken care of dogs and cats through his entire life, I am very aware of the level of trust and communication needed to perform care well. If you are to choose me for drop in visits or walking your dog, I will communicate with you thoroughly through the whole process. Of course, I believe every pet owner would rather care for their pet themselves than have someone else do it, but sometimes life gets in the way. Keeping this in mind, I will make sure that you feel comfortable and establish a level of trust and communication with you to keep your mind at ease. I am more than willing to meet you in person before my services to get your advice, input, and preferences as to how you want me to conduct my service with your loved pet. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I am a lead at my job, so I run a few meetings through the week. Sometimes the times requested may conflict with what I have going on, but I will always let you know if there is a modification needed. For dog walks, I can work around my meeting times and suggest times that work for me, if that is acceptable by the owners that are booking. For cat drop ins, it would be most beneficial to schedule it past 3pm Mountain Time. Cats are very punctual, and I respect that being a cat Dad myself. I care for each pet I provide service for as if they are my own. I will send plenty pictures and detailed updates of their habits, mood, and bathroom essentials. If I see anything concerning I will always let you know immediately. Worry not about packages in the mail, I will make sure I bring them inside while you are gone and update you on that as well

Jillian is absolutely amazing with our Leo. Truly made our trip away so much more comfortable because we knew he was being cared for in his own space and kept on schedule. Appreciated the pictures that she sent regularly so we could see our boy. Will definitely touch base again if we need a pet sitter again.

Thank you so much Jillian for taking such good care of our Leo. Very much appreciate you keeping him on his normal schedule and keeping us updated on his days with pictures. We really missed him but so happy to know he was getting so much attention from you. Think you have made a good buddy with him. Definitely look to have you help with him again
