“William took wonderful care of both our cat and dog, and we would highly recommend him to watch your furry family members. For the best experience, I suggest using the meet-and-greet to discuss communication preferences—whether you’d like just a few updates, more frequent check-ins, or only to be contacted in case of questions or an emergency.”
“Laura and Amanda were great watching my house and my pets. It was my first time using the service and I was nervous having someone I didn’t know watching my house and pets but they put me at ease and answered all my questions. My dog is dog aggressive and has some difficult quirks but they seemed to handle her with ease.”
“Leila did a wonderful job of taking care of our Izzy. She would send us pictures and whenever we would text her, she would respond immediately. She also took very good care of our home and all of our flowering baskets outside. We also had to extend our trip by a day and Leila was very flexible and stayed as long as we needed her. She was a pleasure to work with and we definitely would use her again.”
“Highly recommend! It’s hard leaving your fur babies when you’re gone for an extended period of time but Vanessa kept me at ease! Photos and videos with updates each day and took care of our house as well. Will be booking again.”
“Kaylee did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs! She was attentive to my dog’s daily medication and kept me informed when it was given. I loved receiving pictures and walking updates, which gave me peace of mind. My house was left in good shape, and I’m looking forward to booking her again!”
“Caresse looked after our house and took care of our miniature dachshund for almost three weeks. She was always punctual and completely reliable from the first meeting we had with her and we were confident when we left that everything would be in good hands. Caresse also sent us daily pictures of our dog, dealt with giving the dog her monthly medications, and handled a last minute change to our trash pick-up schedule with no problem. The house was in great shape, our dog was happy and well cared for, and we will confidently re-book Caresse!”
“Erika kept in touch with me daily and sent photos. I can tell my dog was well cared for and I would absolutely have Erika dog sit again. My house was also clean when I got home. Erika did a great job with my leash reactive dog.”
“Autumn, Thank you for keeping our home and cats safe and healthy over the holiday! We appreciate your dependability and sending updates with pictures. We look forward to working with you again soon :)”
About: As an animal science major and veterinary assistant, I bring a level of care and knowledge that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I’ve worked hands-on with both puppies and senior dogs—whether it's helping with crate training, socialization, or giving medication and mobility support to older pets. I also grew up on a farm raising and caring for animals, so I’m calm, confident, and experienced in handling all kinds of temperaments and needs. Whether your pup is energetic or elderly, I know how to meet them where they’re at with patience, love, and professional-level care. Pet care is already a central part of my daily life. I work full-time as a veterinary assistant from 7:30 AM to 5 PM, so I’m comfortable managing routines, medications, and health monitoring for animals. Outside of work, my evenings and weekends are dedicated to pet sitting—I genuinely enjoy spending extra time caring for animals. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or keeping pets company, I make sure each one gets the attention and love they deserve, just like I do at clinic. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them with the same love, patience, and attentiveness I give the animals at the vet clinic. In your home, I stick closely to your pet’s routine—feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any medications—so they feel safe and stress-free. I’m experienced with all kinds of needs, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra support. I keep things clean, calm, and consistent, and I always send updates so you know your pet is in good hands.
“Another excellent experience with Jessica. She helped us out a ton with our two dogs, one being an 11 week old baby dog who needs a lot of surveillance and continued training. Jessica sent us sweet pics and videos of our puppies in bliss and they were calm and happy on our return. I know our dogs are so excited and happy when they know Jessica is taking care of them! Simply the best.”
“Emily was fantastic! Our dog loved her and was super comfortable. She was very responsive, provided updates and pictures, and took wonderful care of Stevie. Well definitely use her again.”
“Bryce did an excellent job watching over our house and our fur baby! When we made a request through Rover, he was very quick to respond and even came to our home the next day to make sure we were a good fit. Although the weather was subzero temperatures, he played with our Sadie inside and when weather permitted took her out for some play time. Sadie suffers from separation anxiety and usually doesn't eat when away from us, but Bryce got her to eat each and every day. Everything was nice and cleaned up, even the sheets were washed, when we returned. We will definitely call on Bryce again. Thank you Bryce!”

She is also a problem-solver when unforeseen situations arise. I have observed Adrianna care for many different animals, and she has a genuine love for all animals. When working with an animal, she is patient, kind, and attentive to their needs. She will treat your pet with the same love and affection as she does her own animals. She also has a good understanding of animal behavior and can recognize signs of stress. I do not hesitate to leave my fur-baby in her care.”
