Erika was wonderful with our old guy. She took great care of Bubba, gave him meds 4 times a day & did his workouts with him. She made our trip more enjoyable knowing he was in such great hands.

Lulu is the absolute best with our fur babies. She's very caring and goes out of her way to ensure our kitties are well adjusted while we are gone. She's a great communicator and I highly recommend her to care for your pets while you are away.

What can I say other than Sharon put my mind at ease. First time leaving my 11 month old, high energy puppy - so I was nervous for sure. To add to that, it was thunderstorming every day I was gone, so good walks were out of the question. She handled my little beast well, and if I ever leave my dog again, Sharon will be my first call. Plenty of updates plus I felt she genuinely loved my dog. Plus she washed the sheets and took the trash out. Couldn’t recommend her more Thanks Sharon!!!

Maryn did a great job watching our kitties. She stuck to our routine with their feeding schedules and left our home exactly as we left it. She even went above and beyond with leaving food and water out for the neighborhood cats who were not included in the booking but who my husband and I look after. We will definitely be booking with Maryn again!

Rachel did an amazing job with our dogs. We were able to enjoy our vacation, knowing she was taking such good care of them. We got daily updates, with pictures. She gladly brought in mail and watered plants for us. She is very accommodating and fit us in to her schedule. She was able to pop in for 3 afternoons visits before her time here started when our son wasn’t able to get here during the day to let them out. We will definitely be calling her for future jobs! She’s a gem!!

Excellent sitter for my 8 year old and 2 1 year old Rottweiler puppies. Mya is a loving and compassionate person. She followed my special instructions to the tee and was especially great with my youngest puppy with epilepsy as one of the 7 dogs in her own household also has epilepsy. I couldn't have asked for a better person than Mya for my last minute booking while I had surgery. Will definitely use her repeatedly! Highly recommend.

Kate was amazing!! She checked in often and sent photos of my dogs daily! Dolly is usually timid of people but she was really comfortable with Kate! She stayed at my home and was with them majority of the time! They had constant care and attention. When I returned she started laundry for the bedding and towels, and left everything spotless! It doesn’t even look like she was here which is such a blessing to come back to a clean home! I would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!

We are so incredibly grateful for Whitney and everything that she’s done for us. Whitney brings a natural and consistent loving approach to her work. It was immediately clear that her care and supportive approach sets her apart from others. For this stay, Whitney cared for our two cats and one dog for a week. Due to the weather, we were delayed for 1 1/2 days coming home. Whitney was beyond understanding and did not hesitate to continue caring for our babies and home while we were away. We feel lucky and privileged to have met Whitney. I genuinely cannot wait until my babies have the opportunity to spend time with her again! Thank you again Whitney!!!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, but what really sets me apart is hands-on experience actually raising and training one myself. I grew up training my German Shepherd from a young age, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand dog behavior, not just watch them. As a student athlete, I’m very active, so I naturally bring a lot of energy to walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, some need structure and training, while others need calm, gentle care, especially seniors. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, handling larger or high-energy breeds, and making sure pets feel safe and understood while their owners are away. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and building trust. As a college student athlete, I keep a very structured schedule, which actually makes me reliable and consistent when it comes to pet care. I plan my days around responsibilities, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given attention on time. I also work part-time at a golf course, but I’m looking to spend more of my free time doing something I enjoy, being around dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it gives me a break from school and sports while still staying active. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening care, I’m used to balancing multiple commitments and staying dependable. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, play, and any training habits they’re used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s environment, making sure everything stays clean, safe, and stress-free. I give dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, and I always keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands. I’m especially attentive to energy levels and behavior, whether that means getting a high-energy dog out for a long walk or just spending calm time with a more relaxed or older dog.

About: I am a teacher, so caring for others is what I do best. Your animal friends are no exception. I love getting to know species outside of myself. I am free Monday through Friday, mornings and afternoons. My summer has cleared up due to summer vacation for me and my students. Can’t wait. I am a friend to all. I hope to create a safe space for your friend. This will be new for the both of us so patience and grace is essential to our environment. I am looking forward to loving and caring for your pets.

Mattie really seems to love our fur babies when taking care of them in our absence. We regularly received text photos and updates letting us know how they were all doing. In one picture, one of our cats was laying on Mattie's legs while our dogs were snuggled up the each side of her. Our condo lobby attendant said Mattie was super nice and great with our pets.

I was able to relax during my time away because I knew my anxious dog was being well taken care of, thank you so much Kayma.

This was my first time using Rover, and my first time leaving my kitties. I was blown away at how wonderful Ashley was! She was so attentive and wonderful with them. She did perfect with the insulin injections for Pedro and made sure he ate, sent me pictures and I swear my house was cleaner than when I left it! I highly recommend her. 🩵

I can’t say enough good things about Kennedy! While I was in Mexico, she took such incredible care of my dogs and gave me total peace of mind the entire time. She went above and beyond—not only making sure they were happy, cared for, and loved on, but also administering their medications and kept everything on track. When feeding schedules needed to change, she adapted without hesitation and handled it all seamlessly. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and that kind of trust is priceless. I came home to calm, healthy, happy pups—which says everything. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and truly compassionate pet sitter!
