Paula was exceptional with our cats! She followed our instructions and was very responsive. She has extended experience caring for special needs kitties and has done an absolute incredible job with our ckd Salem who rewuired a lot of care. All the cats felt comfortable around her and always came out to greet and eat (even the shy ones). We are very grateful for Paula!

Jill is so great. She is very loving to all animals and takes great care of them. I appreciated the thorough write up and pictures of my cats after her visit. I would definitely recommend Jill to anyone needing someone to care for their pets!

Leann was punctual for the appointed times to feed our kitty (and our kitty loves to be fed on time). She sent lots of cute photos letting us know our cat was eating well. She was caring and our kitty cat was in good spirits upon our return.

About: Between my own family and my wife's, I've had alot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've house sat for elderly dogs and raised and trained our own puppy. I've rescued half a dozen lost dogs from our neighborhood. Every dog I meet gets lots of love and yours would be no exception! We already have our miniature poodle pup Winston, so your pup would fit right in with us! I am working from home the vast majority of the time and if I was gone, my wife would be there. As the kid who was always the first to notice when a dog needed to go out and do its business, I'm very attentive to the needs of all dogs. Your pup will be a part of our family during their stay and kept company by my whole family.

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — I’ve been caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities since I was a kid. From energetic puppies learning the ropes to sweet senior dogs needing patience and extra care, I understand that every dog is unique and deserves personalized love and attention. I’ve been incredibly blessed to grow up with many dogs throughout my life, which has given me hands-on experience with different temperaments, routines, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calm and comforting environment, I focus on making them feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like family — because that’s exactly what they are to me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I intentionally make time for walks, play, and attentive care. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable drop-ins, walks, feeding, and companionship while making sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and consistency they deserve throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions you provide to keep your dog feeling secure and stress-free. I create a calm, loving environment, monitor behavior closely, and ensure pets are always supervised, safe on walks, and treated with patience, respect, and genuine care — just like family.

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages I have had puppies and elderly dogs! I also have experience with administering medications and sick animals. I am available any time after 11am on Tuesdays, I also have a flexible work schedule that allows me to walk or visit your dog at almost any time! When in a client home I like to make sure the dog stays in their routine they have so that they can remain stress free, for each dog I like to make sure they get the correct amount of exercise for their age and energy level!

This was our first time using the Rover app, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Makayla was absolutely wonderful—super sweet and thorough when she came to meet our cat and go over all of the instructions. While we were away, she checked in every day with thoughtful notes and the cutest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even brought in some packages that were delivered, which was such a nice extra touch. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we’ll definitely be booking her again. We’re already planning to have her help with dog walking, too. Highly recommend!

About: Hi! I’m Eden and I am 19 years old. I can’t remember a time where I didn’t have a furry (or non furry) companion with me! I grew up with dogs and pet birds. I have fostered dogs and puppies with a local rescue, The Bond Between (formerly known as SecondHand Hounds) since 2020 and have leash, crate, and potty trained them. I have babysat numerous different dogs and cats during the past four years and would love to care for more and gain more experience! I have even cared for reptiles such as bearded dragons and snakes.

I have two lovely dogs to help keep your dogs company! I always make sure that I am giving your furry friends my undivided attention.

About: I've had lots of experience with a wide variety of dogs from family pets to working with Wag! I have a 8 month old German Shepard/Lab, Opal, so I am comfortable with puppies and high energy breeds. I also have experience caring for senior animals. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I am mostly available for weekend care but can do walks & check ins during the week if I bring my youngest with me. I am open to boarding and other care during the weekends. I have a fenced in yard for lots of fetch & play time. We love walks & hiking so lots of opportunities for exercise, fun & bonding with the dogs. I also have experience with crating if that is necessary.

About: I have grown up with pets all my life, typically having at least 3 of any animals at a time. I have babysat, walked, washed, and more for neighbors & friends pets since I was a teen. My husband & I are not in the position yet to get animals of our own, so I am missing having some fur babies around! I would love to care for, babysit, walk, etc to help you with your precious pet(s)! I am a real estate agent and I mainly work from home. There are some afternoons/times on the weekend that I am working out of my house, but my husband is a teacher and is usually home when I have to leave. I have a big yard for your pet(s) and they would be free to go almost anywhere in our home! I have 2 kennels to use and 2 dog bowls, if needed. I have 3 long leashes in our backyard and I or my husband stay out to keep an eye on your pet(s) too. I have also dealt with medical needs with pets, and will be sure to help your fur baby if needed! Please just let me know what they need!

We left over Christmas 2022, with a flight on Southwest. For those not in the know, Southwest famously cancelled thousands of flights - including us. Thankfully we had Chelsea. She was super responsive, and - luckily for us - able to adjust the dates of our stay due to unforeseen circumstances. Additionally, she was great with our cat and our reactive, grumpy, old lady dog. She was patient and worked at our dog’s pace which, really, really helped. Chelsea made sure to check all the boxes for our girls’ care. We were able to fully relax on our vacation knowing our critters were in good hands. 10/10 would book again!

About: I have over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and various other animals, including daily feeding, grooming, training, and keeping pets happy, healthy, and active. As a full-time college student, I find it important to disconnect from school, destress, and relax — and caring for pets is one of my favorite ways to do that. Additionally, with most of my classes being in the morning, I'll have plenty of time in the evening to say hello! As someone who lives in an apartment, I have found that it is important to keep my animals both physically active, mentally stimulated, and well-groomed.

Kirsten did a wonderful job of 3 home visits! We had never done this before with our dogs. Our 6 year old is a little skittish but she went potty and finally ate for Kirsten. Our one year old white Shepard loved the attention and walk! We came home to 2 pretty calm puppies! We would definitely recommend her. Sent pictures at every visit with updates.
