“Patty was FANTASTIC! This was our first time using Rover. We just moved to town and didn’t know anyone in the area. Patty watched our dogs while we were out of town for a long weekend trip. They adored her. She was very loving and attentive, and also sent us duly updates. We would definitely book Patty again. Highly recommend her!”
“Taryn is wonderful. We will definitely hire her again. She’s very pleasant and great with our pets. They warmed to her immediately. She’s a problem solver (we had a minor plumbing issue which she solved on her own but contacted us). She stays in touch just enough so we know all is well but not so much that we can’t enjoy our time away. She went above and beyond. Excellent pet and house sitter!”

“Karen did an amazing job with our pups and our home! We got pictures everyday and it made our vacation so enjoyable! We came home to happy and healthy pets, and the house just as clean as we had left it. Thank you so much, we will definitely be using her again!”
“Jennifer is great with our dogs - they get excited whenever she comes by and do very well with her when we're gone. We use her whenever we leave town!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own and family dogs since like 13 and since then I have started doing other people and have good references I work really early mornings and I’m usually out of work by the latest is noon so I would be able to watch your pup all day as long as my schedule works for you! I will have an eye on the dog(s) the majority of the time loving on them and many sure they have what they need I also love to exercise so walks can be in the picture as well
About: I am available for walks anytime of the day. I work from home and have 2 dogs of my own. I am an animal lover with an energetic friendly pup of her own. I have trained my dog to sit, stay, leave it and much more. I have done research on how to properly train a dog. The past 4 years I have taken care of friends and families animals. I will keep you up to date on your dogs day and let you know how they have been. I am very reliable and will go out of my way to make sure you and your pup are happy. I’m currently working part time from home so your pup will have plenty of playtime! You can message me to find out my availability but I’m pretty flexible I have a home with a fenced in backyard and 2 dogs of my own. I’ve done everything from puppy care to senior care. I’ve also got some experience in dog training and meditation experience.
“Emily gave lots of great communication while she watched pets, pictures sent every day, I can tell she truly loves animals. Thank you Emily!”
About: I grew up on a farm loving on lots of different kinds of animals. We currently have 2 dogs. Our kids are starting to transition out of school and I have some free time. What better way to spend my time than loving on your pets since my husband doesn't want any more in our house! My full time job is super flexible and I can work around pet sitting. I only need my laptop with me and can work anywhere! I am unable to watch pets in our home because we have one pet who is super anxious. So I am use to loving on anxious and nervous pets.
“Ashe is such a great sitter for our dog Salvy. They are always on time, give great updates, and go above and beyond when house sitting for our family.”
About: I grew up on a farm, so I'm used to all kinds of animals. I have always had cats and dogs, but have also had fish, frogs, hedgehogs and guinea pigs. I am an older, empty-nester (hence the Nana title!), who loves to dote on my grandkids and all cats and dogs. I enjoy quiet evenings with a book or a good true crime show. I am a very patient and conscientious pet sitter who leaves a home the way I found it. I work full-time, but am available for overnights and weekends, and holidays. I work regular business hours, so would be away from the home for 8.5-9 hours during the weekday. I have always considered pets to be a part of the family. My own pets are allowed to be on the furniture, have their own furniture, toys, clothes, etc. That being said, I respect everyone's parenting style and will follow instructions to a T. I don't mind giving medications, doing walks or car rides.
“Lorelei took such good care of our pup all weekend and kept us updated on how she was doing every day. She sent lots of pictures and made sure our dog had everything she needed! We would use her again in a heartbeat!!”
“Anna was a fantastic sitter! She took great care of our home and our pets. We loved the daily updates with photos and very open communication. We would definitely recommend her for your pets needs and plan to use her again in the future!”
“Molly is an amazing sitter, she made sure that Lance was taken care of and provided lots of updates and pictures. I came home to a very happy doggie! Thanks!”
About: I love my own animals like tiny humans. People always ask if Mollie, my dog, is a puppy or Lola, my cat, is a kitten. Nope! They are old and spoiled rotten. :) I’ve had Lola since 2007 & my small yorkie-poo since 2010. My goal is to help others that just need help during there busy work/school week. I work full time on weekends so I’m free anytime after I drop off my lovely 5 year old daughter at school. My hours are 9a-430p for 30 min walks/boarding. However, if your dog loves to exercise, perfect! I run or jog with Mollie as a health benefit. If you would like this service during your 30 min visit, I am your person! I am happy to administer medication if shown properly.

“Karrie is fantastic! She puppysits for our black lab on a regular basis while we are on day trips or extended vacations. We often joke that she is his favorite person!! She always stays at our house, which we love, so that our fur baby gets to stay in his home. She keeps him on his routine with daily walks (and many belly rubs), and often takes him on brunch adventures and out for a pup cup. We highly recommend Karrie for your next pet sitter!”
