“Jackson stayed with our dog, Kevin, while we were away for 10 days. He was diligent with making sure Kevin got a walk each visit and we got a cute picture of our obviously happy dog. It was reassuring to know that Kevin was being well taken care of. I would highly recommend Jackson for any pet sitting or dog walking. He was great!”

“Taylor is absolutely incredible - always goes out of her way to make sure my kitty is comfortable and happy. She is extremely flexible and accommodating when we need her for extra time last minute, and will do anything she can to make sure my cats needs are met. I could not recommend her more! She’s a true animal lover and Will do a great job of caring for your furry friends.”
“Really great and caring to our cat, CJ! We had a family emergency and Ashley came three times in one week on short notice to check in on our cat and made sure he had everything he needed (including cuddles!) We will definitely be using Ashley in the future to check in on our cat whenever we are out of town. She is genuinely a caring and animal loving pet sitter. ?”
About: I am a lifelong dog, owner and lover, currently with a 14 year-old senior girl named Mildred. I love to go on walks with dogs, or can simply pop over for a feeding or some playtime. I have a flexible schedule and can work with your needs. Whether it’s early morning feeding, or a late afternoon walk, I am happy to assist! I will treat your home and pets as if is my own. I am a lifelong animal lover and advocate, and would love to meet your four legged baby.
“Pierceson did a great job dropping in for my cat when I was gone for a couple of days. During each of her three visits she took cute photos of her interacting with my cat, and she stayed a bit longer than the 30 minutes I booked.”
“Carrie was my first Rover sitter that I’ve ever had and she made me feel real comfortable leaving my dog with her while I was gone for a week. It was nice to know that my dog was also comfortable with her. Next time I need to go away, I know who to call. 10/10”
“This was the first time we used Rover for drop in pet-sitting, and I was a little nervous because my dog has anxiety around new people. But Megan was really patient and good with her and her check ins with pics were so reassuring to me that my dog was warming up to her and was happy. We will definitely be reaching out to Megan again if we need her!”
About: I've been around dogs all of my life, including my own and helping out neighbors. I've helped watch dogs from as small as a chihuahua up to a big lab. I am currently studying for my CPA and have a very flexible schedule. I can work around most odd times that would be inconvenient for most people. I can follow whatever routine is normal for your dog whether that means just letting them out in the yard, walking them, letting the dog roam free in the house, or crating them.
“Lacey loves our pups and our pups love Lacey! Cannot ask for a better person to trust. Super reliable and we enjoy her detailed messages and pictures she provides!”
“Alex was a fantasist caretaker of our two cats! He made sure all their chores were done daily and gave them plenty of attention and treats. I would certainly hire Alex again!”
“Rebekah helped take care of my 2 cats with last minute notice when someone bailed on me. She kept me up to date and played with them and was super pleasant to work with. Would recommend!”
“Heidi took amazing care of our English bulldog. She was timely in her walks & an excellent communicator. We came home to a happy dog. Will rebook Heidi with zero hesitation.”
About: I have been taking care of friends and families dogs ever since I was a kid. I can talk dogs out for walks and tire them out with lots of play! I have taken care of small and big dogs and would love to meet your furry friend! I am in between jobs looking for some extra money so I can work with your schedule! I would prefer during the workday as that is when I have the most time but I can work with you! My cat hangs out with me all day in my apartment and I love to give her love and bother her throughout the day so she doesn’t get bored! I will be sure to give your pet the attention and playtime that they want!
About: Long time pet owner of all sorts and former homesteader; now an empty-nester remote IT professional, I'm available to help hold down your fort and care for your critters while you are away! I live alone and work remotely full-time with a flexible schedule. I can't sit still for long, so I'm up and moving regularly and am happy to interact with your critters (if they want to) and take them out for breaks/walks frequently! I keep a very tidy home and would treat yours with the same care and respect. I am very calm and considerate and good in emergencies (knock on wood that there aren't any, of course). I have had pets and raised four children successfully so I'm fairly confident I can keep things under control ;) Thank you!
“Rosemary was incredible! She made sure my sweet fur baby was taken care of while I was out of town. Gave her meds, walked her, gave her the best cuddles, and made sure she was comfortable and cozy. Will definitely be using her services again, such a kind spirit!”
