“Thanks for checking on our cat Josie. We appreciate you being flexible when we had to reschedule our trip due to covid. Josie doesn't always warm up to people. It was good to see pictures of Josie on Ashleys lap.”
“This is our first time using Rover; we were a bit anxious about having a stranger come into our home and take care of our kitties, however Raquel “Rockey” did a fantastic job taking care of our kitties while we were away; one kitty is elderly, blind, history of a stroke and takes twice a day medication for high blood pressure (oral- one liquid, one tablet), one is a fearful. Rockey’s twice daily “report card,” on the rover app, kept us updated. We will definitely use again. Thank you, Rockey!”
“Nicky really helped us out during the holidays with our cat, and took the time to send us photos and updates every time she came by to check in on our cat. Couldn't recommend her more!”
“Sammy did an incredible job with my two cats. She followed my instructions perfectly and was very responsive the whole time, giving me the peace of mind to enjoy my time away from home knowing my cats were happy and well cared for.”
“Jason took great care of my cat. He is very responsive and writes detailed updates at every visit. I always feel comfortable going away knowing Jason is checking in on my cat!”
“Under unexpected circumstances with a sick kitty, Sara took good care of her and was flexible with timing when the original visit schedule fell apart. Will book again.”
About: I've spent a lot of time looking after dogs of all ages, and I really enjoy giving extra care to senior pups. I recently cared for my own rescue dog through his later years, making sure he was comfortable and happy right up until the end. I’m comfortable giving medication and know what it takes to keep older dogs feeling their best. I’m also used to looking after puppies and high-energy breeds—everything from Great Danes to shepherds and bird dogs—so I appreciate how every dog’s personality brings something special. My goal is to make sure every pet I care for feels safe, understood, and loved. My job lets me work from anywhere as long as I have cell service or internet. I do need to join a few meetings now and then, but most of the time, my schedule is pretty flexible. My home is dog-friendly, with a picket fenced-in yard and a quiet neighborhood, that’s great for walks and exploring local trails. I always keep a close eye on pets outdoors, and luckily, my area is filled with dog lovers. Whether it’s providing a safe quiet environment or plenty of attention, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for.
“Karla did absolutely amazing! My babies were very well taken care of and the communication was great. She was able to keep their routine for them even though I was gone for five days and they seem to really like her. She even did some light housekeeping when it came to the pets as well. I was extremely impressed. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again. Thank you!!!!”
About: I was raised in a home with lots of animals, dogs, cats and fish. My grandparents raised rabbits and birds. I was around pets domestic and exotic and love all creatures. My first job was pet sitting, my second was in a horse stable. I've had animals in my care my whole life. My day job is caring for humans as a nurse, I would love to say hi to your good boys and girls! I do work 4 days a week and so my schedule will be open around those hours. I don't mind waking up early, or staying up a little late. My noon hour availability is on my days off. Our dogs are herding breed and very active, so I am used to playing all of the games. I like to use positive reinforcement with all animals. I will treat your home with respect just like I do my own.
“Christine was very responsive, helpful, and friendly! She made us feel incredibly comfortable knowing Pippi was in good hands. She even brought in our trash bins when we forgot to before we left.”
“Penny is amazing! My girls immediately gravitated towards her. She goes above and beyond every time! She’s responsive, punctual and reliable. So happy to have found her, she’s been a huge help. I highly recommend !!! Her kind nature doesn’t go unnoticed by both me and my girls, we can tell she loves all animals.”
About: I've had multiple dogs growing up, I'm used to being around all kinds of pets, big or small its no problem. I love being around dogs, playing and cuddling them. I realize sometimes you have to be stern with them but I always make sure they feel loved. I like to take my pets outside every 2 or 3 hours when I'm home. For excersisie, I like to play with their toys inside, or fetch outside and walk, If you need someone to run with your dog I can do that too!! Your pet will find someone fun and caring to play with and gift them attention and time, I look forward to helping out with all your needs, all you have to do is ask!

Alison D.
“Alison and I have been co-workers for a long time and we bonded over our love of dogs. I travel often for work and she has graciously watched over my dogs while I am away. It was not easy as I had two senior lab mix dogs that needed extra attention including meds multiple times a day and the need for physical therapy and gentle exercise. One of them was quite aloof and was "daddy's girl" but she took to Alison right away and we all know dogs have a great sense of character. In addition to my two senior girls, I have a younger lab/dachshund mix who is as energetic as she is stubborn but she is putty in Alison's hands.”
