As usual, Laurie took great care of our dog while we were away for a few days. She always provided extensive details regarding the dog's daily activities, as well as her overall health and well-being. Laurie has always been very responsive, and we have never had any reason to think she has not given our dog's care top priority.

Misti is the BEST sitter I we’ve ever had. Our pets love her! We were gone for two weeks and she took great care of them. Attentive to their needs, took them on long walks, and even updated us on some eating habit changes. Our little void wasn’t eating as much as he usually does, she immediately let us know and we figured it out together. She is a GEM!!!

Paola has been such a wonderful life saver! She was able to help me last minute, adapt to an off-time schedule, and made sure my pup was taken care of so I had one less thing to worry about while I was at work. I’ve utilized her services multiple times and will definitely continue to ask for her help.

I couldn’t have asked for a better, Pet Sitter! Leaving my cat while I was on vacation is never easy but from the moment I met Theresa, I knew they were in excellent hands. She is attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring. She really took the time to get to know my cats, so they were comfortable around her. And I was so thankful she was able and willing to give insulin injections to my diabetic cat. I especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and little notes about how each visit went. It gave me so much peace of mind. It’s such a relief to find someone who treats your pets like their own. I would absolutely trust Theresa again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and top-notch Pet Sitter!

Emily was great with our dogs! One of our dogs is epileptic and takes multiple medications a day so we wanted to make sure we have someone who has experience in administering the meds. Emily took photos of our pups every time she checked in. They both looked happy every time! My husband said that when he got home from work both dogs ignored him and were looking around for Emily lol. We will definitely book Emily again!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I spent 13 wonderful years with my baby, Luda. For the last 8 years of his life, I made sure his medicine was organized and given on time, and that he never missed a vet appointment. I learned to truly listen to his body language. Even if that meant a 2 AM potty break. Let’s set up a meet and greet to see if I’m the right match for you and your fur baby! My schedule is flexible depending on the day. I am fully available from Tuesday late afternoon through Wednesday late afternoon, and Friday late afternoon through Saturday late afternoon. I am also open for overnight stays on Tuesday and Friday nights!On my other days, I work from 5 AM to 2 PM, so I am completely free for quick pop-in visits or walks anytime after 2 PM. If you have any questions about how your pet fits into my schedule, feel free to reach out! At this moment, I only provide care inside your home where your pets are most comfortable! For safety and peace of mind, your pet will never leave your property unless we have explicitly agreed on walks beforehand. I have a strict no-dog-parks policy to eliminate any unnecessary risks.While my profile is set to small and medium dogs, I am happy to care for large dogs as long as all exercise and potty breaks stay contained within your yard. Lastly, for the safety of everyone involved, a Meet & Greet is required before any bookings are finalized, thank you!

About: I have had many animals over the years. As I child, we had so many breeds of dogs. From Saint Bernard, Great Dane, and Bull Mastiff. To sheep dogs and small mixed breed dogs. We currently bace 1 cat, who is the chillest, sweetest cat I’ve ever known. We have 5 kids, who LOVE animals. Your sweet fur baby won’t even know you are gone, with all the love they would get at our house. I was laid off in 2024, so I am currently home with our toddler, while the big kids are at school. So your fur baby would have someone with them all day! We have a big fenced in yard, and a great neighborhood for walks! Your fur baby would be well loved in our care. I am currently home with our 1 year old daughter. My oldest are in school. We go to the gym a few times a week, and do some reselling on the side. But we are never gone for very long and can give your fur baby lots of love and attention. I have a fenced yard, with a 6 foot fence. So your fur baby will be safe! We have plenty of space to crate if needed. We also have a cat tree and lots of good hiding spots for more timid kitties.

Riley cared for our dogs in our home while we were on vacation. I was completely comfortable with her having a key to our home and her ability to deal with our dogs that are high energy and anxious. She sent TONS of pictures and it was evident the dogs enjoyed her drop in visits. She’s dependable, communicates well, and is knowledgeable about dog behavior. I can’t say enough great things about her and am looking forward to her working with and walking the girls in the future!

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking the time to learn their little quirks, routines, and what makes them happiest. Whether your pet loves nonstop play or just wants a cozy place to relax, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for the whole time you’re away. I have experience with both energetic puppies and sweet senior pets. I can help reinforce basic training for puppies—like potty habits and leash manners—and I’m patient and gentle with older pets who may need a slower pace, extra attention, or medication support. I’ll also keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in good hands. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I naturally build it into my day rather than trying to squeeze it in. I like having a flexible routine that lets me give each pet real attention instead of rushing in and out. Most days, I plan around morning and evening visits when pets are usually most active or need their routine care. That might mean feeding, fresh water, litter box cleanup, potty breaks, or just spending a little time playing or keeping them company so they don’t feel lonely. I also like checking in with owners so they feel connected and reassured while they’re away. On a weekly basis, I organize my schedule so I can be consistent and dependable for each pet I’m caring for. I make sure there’s enough space in my routine to show up on time, follow instructions closely, and give every animal the same level of care and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any specific house rules—so your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I also make sure doors, gates, and any escape risks are always checked and secured before and after each visit. I take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace, especially shy or anxious animals. I approach calmly, respect their boundaries, and let them come to me when they’re ready. For more energetic pets, I make sure they get safe, positive outlets for play and exercise.

It took Sebastian barely a moment to get comfortable with Samantha! From the meet and greet, immediately demonstrated confidence and competence in knowing how to approach and interact with him, and watching him warm up to her more and more with each visit reaffirmed that I made the right choice as a first-timer to Rover! I will be requesting her services again without a doubt.
