“Chyna was great with timeliness and communication. Our little one was a scaredy cat, but it was nice to know someone was checking in and ensuring she was well fed and ok. We will definitely use her again!”


“Maria consistently does a fantastic job taking care of my pets. She arrives promptly during the designated time, ensures they have their potty breaks, refreshes their water, and gives them plenty of love and attention. Her Rover cards are detailed and include lots of pictures. I know that are in good hands with her!”


“Melissa was a blessing to my GSD. Storm took to Melissa right away, she has a gentle deminer and a way with animals that they understand. Storms not easy to know right away and Melissa had No problem. Melissa cared for Storm above and beyond. I will use her much appreciated service again and recommend her to anyone. Thank you again Melissa, you're a Super Star,❤️Storm and family”


“Another week away knowing Karlee would take good care of our 2 kitties. Her drop in visits are more than just the standard litter cleaning and food/water refills. It’s obvious she’s a caring animal lover, as she seeks them out every visit to provide some loving and kitty playtime. Will definitely contact her again whenever we travel - she provides a comforting peace of mind that our babies will be well cared for while we’re gone.”

“Miranda came to help out last minute when I had to go out of town unexpectedly and it was much appreciated! She kept me updated the whole time on how my kitty was doing and sent all kinds of cute pictures.”


“Veronica was great! She kept me updated the whole time and sent so many pictures. This was my first time using rover and she made it so easy. Definitely will use her again in the future.”


“Kenze was great with our pups! Our one dog was a little nervous at first, but he warmed up very quickly. Kenze seems to be a natural with dogs. Based on the pictures sent we know our dogs had fun when they were with Kenze.”


About: I have taken care of multiple friends pets for days , if not weeks straight. I've worked at multiple shelters helping out with dog walking and cleaning , and I've also volunteered at functions to raise funds for shelters. The joke is with my faculty I am the resident dog guru. I am a teacher so i'm able to do very early walks starting at 5:30am. I have to be at work by 7:30 am. I am done with school by 4:30, except January- March when I have to be back to director musical practice. If you need someone to how sit your pet. I guarantee that I will try my best to be at the house and not running errands, except to go to work. I'm a big believer in if I'm taking care of an animal in their own home that I need to be at that house as long as I possibly can because that pet deserves the companionship and the freedom to be let out to play. I love taking long walks.I enjoy nature and so taking longer walks with animals does not bother me.

About: My family has always had a dog around since I was a little girl! So I’m comfortable giving all dogs, whether the breed, the best care! I’m currently a weekend package person so I’m home full time during the week for all your dog needs whether it’s daycare, walking or boarding! I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs who love to play with other dogs so your fur baby will have company! Also have a 1.5 year old who loves all dogs so no dog will go without any pets or lovings!

About: Hi, you can call me Lolo. I am a big lover of dogs and had a small dog growing up. I have been walking dogs since the summer of 2021. I have experience with walking medium sized and smaller dogs, but I am open to any size and type of breeds. I even have experience watching cats and had birds growing up as a child. I am currently a stay at home mom which gives me more flexibility and choosing to do what I love the most, which is spending time with and taking of dogs! I am very responsible, attentive, and outgoing which are all some qualities I think are very important when it comes to taking care of dogs. I am looking forward to meeting you and your sweet dog(s)! I am a stay at home mom and have a lot of downtime to spend some time with your dogs. Pet care is a job for me and my schedule is very flexible! I have crate training experience. My neighborhood is very safe and I live in a house with a lot of trees and woods so the dogs can run around. There are not too many dogs around, so you won’t have to worry about other dogs!


“Our normally well-behaved dogs decided to ransack their room while we were gone for an afternoon. Upon her arrival at our house, not only did Amanda straighten up their mess but she also fed them, spent plenty of time with them outside, sent me pics of her visit, and even left them treats for Christmas. Would highly recommend Amanda to anyone seeking a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter who goes the extra mile for her clients.”



“Shelby is great! Second booking, just as nice of an experience. We were able to relax and enjoy time with the family, knowing we have a reliable person to take care of our pups, and we didn't have to rush back home, as we usually do. She has a special place in heart for animals and it shows.”


About: I was known as Dr. Dolittle as a child as I have had turtles, dogs, cats, salamanders, hampsters, mice, fish, hermit crabs, and guinea pigs as pets. In my adult years I have had years of dog walking and pet sitting dogs as large as St. Bernards and as small as chihuahuas both on and off leash. I have experience with senior animals and giving medications to dogs and cats. I am currently working part-time in four hour shifts at the library and am available for your pet care needs the other 20 hours! Whether it be pet sitting in your home (for any type of animal), check ins, or dog walking. I spend as much time and individual attention as I can on your pets. I treat them and your home as if they were my own. I usually take pictures of your fur baby while on the job so you know they are in good hands.

“Anne was wonderful with my cat, Lia. My cat seemed to enjoy the visits and extra attention. Anne was also great with communication and sending photos of what Lia was up to. Will definitely reach out to Anne in the future when needed!”


“Brittany did a fantastic job with my crew of 4 dogs!! They loved her. She gave updates after each visit and was very quick on her response. I will absolutely reach out to her again to care for my fur babies. Thank you Brittany!!!”


About: I have been around dogs my entire life and couldn’t imagine my life without them. I have taken care of senior dogs and puppies. Would love to spend time and get to know more dogs! I am currently unemployed and only have class on Wednesdays and a school club meeting on Thursdays. Weekends are usually busy for me but Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays would probably work good. I always make sure dogs have good clean water. If a dog has certain requirements such as high energy or low energy I will make sure I take the time to understand and form trust with your dog.
