“Becky was fantastic staying overnight for my senior pup and four cats. She followed all instructions and my furfam were well taken care of and content. Becky is also very reliable and communicative. I will definitely book her again!”



“We could not be more grateful for Carina! We decided to go on a trip over the thanksgiving holiday to visit family. We weren’t sure we’d find anyone to hang out with our kids while we were gone because of it being a holiday. Carina responded quickly and was very professional and courteous. She was so great with them and we came home to some very happy pups!”

About: My wife and I are self employed and looking to make extra money caring for your fur babies! We both have 13+ years experience caring for pets and currently have 3 furry friends of our own. We chose to do this together to be able to help as many families as we can and give you the peace of mind you deserve while away. We are familiar with many different breeds and are comfortable with all sizes and ages. Whether you are in need of a house sitter or just a walker for a day, feel free to message us and we’d be more than happy to help you out! Hope to hear from you soon! We are both self employed so our schedule is flexible. We have the freedom to work around all pet care needs so your pet is priority. We do not offer pet care in our home, as we value the comfort of our elderly Bulldog. We offer care in your home and would follow all instructions you give us and treat your pets as we would our own.

“Kirsten was great! She helped us out with really short notice, and was very flexible & accommodating. Cooper seemed to connect with her right away! We will definitely book her again!!”


“Carter was amazing! He kept us updated while we were gone, sent us pictures of our baby. He took great care of Finn, our house and all my plants while we were away. I would 100% use his services again and recommend him to anyone who needs a house sitter, pet sitter, dog walker, he left our house in great condition, honestly cleaner than when we left. Thank you Carter for taking care of our 115lb fur baby!”


“Alison was the most wonderful pet/ house sitter I have had. She took such great care of my dog and house for 12 days. She sent me pictures of my pup which was so appreciated. She even cleaned up her poops! Wow no one has ever done that.”


“Mckayla, was very sweet and patient with Lucy who can take a bit to warm up to people. After returning I know that Lucy was in good hands and they had a great relaxing weekend full of plenty of attention and cuddles from Mckayla.”


“Veronica came to my rescue after my original sitter cancelled as we were on the road driving out of state. She kept me informed and was able to give my loveable pups the attention and care they needed. Will definitely book with her again the future!!”


“Ha'ani and Jacob provide excellent care for our 2 dogs and took great care of our house as well. They are both very comfortable with bigger dogs with lots of energy. They spent lots of time playing with them in the yard and treated our pets like their own. They also gave us many updates and photos. Leaving our dogs with them gave us peace of mind and our dogs absolutely loved them! Thank you Ha'ani and Jacob!!!”


“Rachel was such an amazing dog and house sitter. She messaged when she arrived and departed, along with sending pictures and updates on how my fur-babies were doing. I felt at peace knowing my babies were being taken care of. I highly recommend Rachel for any of your pets needs.”


“Melanie was very professional and communicative. She did a thorough pre-pet sitting meeting where she clearly demonstrated her understanding of caring for animals. I had to change some timing of my pets care and she was very flexible. My cat needs special medicine that Melanie was able to administer without issue.”


About: I've taken care of different dogs and cats all my life and always have done well with any animal I meet. They will be taken care of like they are my own, and their happiness and care comes first. I currently take care of my grandmother during the day, as such, early afternoons and evenings I'm available to look in on / walk/ feed your pets. I give any new animal I meet time to get comfortable with me before trying to interact, especially if requested by owners or if they tend to be nervous around new people. I'm always gentle, but can be firm with the animal as need be.

“Riley was an excellent dog sitter! She provided me lots of great updates throughout the time I was away and gave my pups lots of love and attention. She kept my house clean and was ultra responsible, asking any questions she may not have had the answers to. Would definitely recommend Riley!”


“Chelsie was very patient with our elderly dog Flux who takes time to warm up to folks. She stayed two night and left our home untouched. She even washed and dried the linens she used. We love the updates she sent us while we were always missing our 3 boys. Will book again. Thank you.”


“Miss Jaclyn was fantastic with our two German Shepherds and our bratty cat! They all loved her as she just has that natural way with animals. House nice and clean, pets super well cared for, she was easy to work with. Treated our fur babies as if they were hers. We will book her again for sure!! Highly recommend.”



“This was my first time using Rover, I was nervous but I’m so thrilled to have met Mary! We connected well and I felt extremely comfortable after introducing her to my rambunctious 4 dog household. All the dogs loved her at our meet and greet. She stayed overnight with our two senior pitties while the rest of us went away for the weekend and all went well. I will definitely use Mary again!”


About: Grown up on a farm & currently live on one- I’ve helped raise a lot of pets & I still am caring for many lives!

About: As an AKC conformation and sport handler, I have experience with animals off all shapes, sizes and abilities!

In my home I have space separate from my animals, a fully fenced side yard and plenty of my own tools, leashes/collars of all sizes and supplies.

As an experienced AKC handler I have seen just about every breed and temperament under the sun.

“Toni was beyond amazing! She gave our dogs so much love and kept them company when we were gone. So much so that when we got home they were excited to see us for 15 minutes then slept the rest of the day! I am forever grateful for her and her family even more so for caring for my one pupper who had a health episode when in her care. They handed everything amazing and took amazing care of him. I would love to book her again!”

Brittany S.
“Brittany is my wife and has been my best friend for 16+ years! She has always had dogs ever since she was a kid. The second she turned 18 she got one of her own and after we got married we got another one! Brittany is always taking the dogs on walks, dog park trips, and keeping their brains stimulated by practicing commands at least once a week! I can also attest for 3-4 of her friends that request her to watch their dogs when they’re gone. Overall, she has a huge heart and there aren’t enough animals in the world to fill it!”
