Faith was our first Rover sitter and will be our go to from here on out. She spent a week with our older dogs who require a lot of patience and care. She met their every need and then some. She goes above and beyond in every way. We received updates and pictures throughout her stay. She left the house clean and even left a wonderful letter and treats. Thank you, Faith, for all you did for our fluffy babies.

Trina is such a lifesaver. We had a dog sitter lined up who had to bail on us about 12 hrs before we were supposed to leave on our first ever Disney vacation. She responded to my message immediately, was available on short notice and honestly spoiled the heck out of my dog! My dog is a senior citizen and takes 2-4 meds a day. She made sure he got all his meds, followed an intricate feeding schedule, and loved him as her own. She checked in with me daily to assure us he was doing well. She also helped feed our fish and turtle. What a lifesaver! We returned to happy animals and a very clean house. We will definitely be using Trina for all our vacations from here on out!

Sarah is a top notch dog sitter. She will leave your house looking clean and send you daily updates and pics. She will allow you to enjoy your vacation while you are away from the dogs. She is a very kind person and I knew I could trust the house and dogs with her.

We’re so excited to have found Kat. She went above and beyond to make sure the fur babies were taken care of. We appreciate the consistent updates and never felt like we had to worry because she kept us in the loop! She’s 10/10 and will be rebooking again!

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs almost my whole life! My personal pet care background is incredibly diverse. I currently manage a lively three-cat household with my sweet cuddle bug Lillie, and my sister’s rambunctious and silly littermate brothers, Scout and Sawyer. I am also the proud owner of a childhood calico named Luna, and a Shepherd/golden mix, Osa. Because Osa is a high-energy, reactive dog, I learned a lot from her and personally worked on training her. Additionally, I have experience with senior pets. I lovingly cared for my late childhood dog, Sisi, which included managing her daily medications. I have also administered short-term medications to cats. I specialize exclusively in house sitting at your home, drop-in visits, and neighborhood dog walks. I look forward to giving your pets the absolute best care! :) My schedule is very flexible this summer, which makes it easy to stick to whatever daily routine your pets are used to. Whether they need a mid-day drop-in visit, a walk, or someone to stay overnight to keep them company, I can easily accommodate their regular timing. Since I will be caring for your pets in your home, my main priority is keeping their environment safe and consistent. I am highly attentive to details like securing doors and gates, keeping dogs properly leashed during walks, and following your specific household instructions. I always send regular photo updates and check-ins so you have full peace of mind while you are away.

What an absolute gem!!! I have 2 Belgian Malinois, a can and fish. Tanya was such a amazing sitter. Our older mal he can be an anxious fella and can sometimes intimidate people but not Tanya! She was a dog whisperer. She stayed overnight for 3 nights and not only helped with keeping my critters safe but also the home. She treated my home like her home and with respect. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. TRUST HER WITH YOUR FAMILY. My pets mean the world to me and they trusted and loved her from the moment they met. She was consistent with providing updated and pictures. Already a loyal client to her with only just 1 booking. 10000/10 rating. Coming from an anxious mom I highly reccomend.

About: Hi, I’m Christine! I’ve been a devoted pet parent for over 30 years, and my love for animals is truly at the heart of everything I do. From playful pups to curious cats and every animal in between, I believe each furry (or feathery!) friend deserves love, care, and a whole lot of fun. I currently have an 8 year old Plott Hound who is recovering from her second TPLO surgery. I spend devoted time with her every day completing her physical therapy exercises and doing all I can to optimize her recovery and golden years ahead. She has been a major part of my life and we have had lots of adventures together! She has road-tripped with me to 21 different states and lived for 6 years in the high desert mountains of AZ. I pride myself on being patient, flexible, and truly attentive to every animal’s individual needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a playful adventure, I can’t wait to be a part of your pet’s journey! I am a certified wellness instructor and make my own client schedule- so- I have lots of flexibility and can work with most client’s individual needs. I am flexible and adaptive to each individual pet’s needs and environment. I love walking and am happy to give extra time to take in the sniffs- or enjoy a snuggle!

I’ve used Josh several times now and have always been very happy with how well he takes care of my dog and my home. I have a very sweet but reactive dog and he handles him great! I have peace of mind when I’m away with Josh knowing Diesel and my home are well cared for. This past time my flights home were changing frequently due to weather so I wasn’t sure what time I was going to be home. Josh was very flexible and able to work with me which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend him!!

About: As a middle schooler, I worked on a farm property as a pet groomer. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and a specialization with dogs that are disabled and have behavioral issues. I enjoy being active, going on walks, and making sure your fur baby gets the love they deserve! I am currently working part time at an eye-care office! I have a lot of free time, and would love to spend it with your fur baby! I am flexible and happy to accommodate to whatever you and your pet’s needs may be. I am respectful of the spaces I am in, and I understand that life can get busy sometimes. I never judge a messy home, and promise that it won’t be an issue. I am just happy to help!

Andrew (Rusty) exceeded all my expectations when it came to boarding my two dogs. First of all, this was the first time they were boarded. They are 7 yrs. Old so I was a little nervous and wondering how my dogs would react. Rusty was amazing with them and they came back relaxed and I knew they were well taken care of. Rusty has a great fenced in area and my dogs love being outside. I highly recommend Rusty and so does Stella and Beau!

Brittany took care of my 2 senior dogs while we were away for 3 days. One of our dogs requires meds 3 times a day, and she is an over reactive dog. Brittany handled a situation with another dog that was off leash very effectively! My dog does not like other dogs, and she picked up my dog to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. Overall she took very good care of their needs, even walking them a couple times a day when she could have just let them in the fenced yard. I would definitely recommend Brittany to watch over your pets and give them the best of care.

Sydney watched our 14-year old cockapoo for 5 days while we were on vacation. We met prior to the trip and we went through his specialized feeding schedules. She is very friendly, punctual and Clifford (the dog) liked her. She was willing to stay overnight and house-sit as well as making sure Clifford was taken care of. I will be using her services again if she is available. I felt very comfortable leaving Clifford in her care.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old. I grew up on an acreage and we always had cats and dogs. I can administer shots and medication and have experience bottle feeding kittens and bunnies. I love animals and understand that each one is different and deserves love. I am patient and careful with each pet, giving them the attention they need and feel most comfortable with. I have a soft spot for senior animals. I am a teacher, so I am available all summer for your pet sitting needs! During the school year, I am only available on the weekends or after school check-ins. I will follow all directions and rules for taking care of your pet(s). Each one is special and I understand they all have their own needs. I am great at going with the flow with your pet and letting them lead the activity.

Brianna was such a huge help! She stayed at our house for 10 days and took great care of our two dogs. She was very communicative and respectful, making sure we received plenty of updates. Our house was just as clean, if not cleaner, than when we left it. It was so nice feeling at ease while we were away from the dogs for so long. Highly recommend!

About: Growing up, I had a couple dogs. Along with family and friends always having dogs around, I have always taken care of dogs. I love to walk them, bathe them, and play! I would take care of your fur baby like my own! I have a flexible schedule and work independently so I have plenty of flexibility for you and your baby!❤️ What works for your schedule will most likely work for mine. I look forward to spend time with and take care of your baby and I will enjoy every second! You can trust me with your pet like it’s my own! I am an honest human being with a heart full of love and compassion. I would love to take your fur baby to the park to play and have fun, as well as a jog/walk of course, and I wouldn’t mind giving your baby a bath if need be! Perhaps a trip to the pet store to spoil?! Don’t worry cats will love me too! I know just the spot they love scratched and will offer plenty of playtime.

Kat was so sweet with our doggies! She was diligent and thorough taking notes at our pre-planned meetups. She was always on time and very communicative. She sent lots of pictures and it was very obvious that our dogs absolutely loved her. She took great care of our home as well, left everything tidy, and even left relaxing music on for the dogs after she left. Our only complaint is that I think our dogs might like her better than us now! They miss her and we can't wait to book Kat again!

Lindsey is a fantastic pet and house sitter. We have used her several times and has developed strong bond with our cat Rusty. She keeps you informed as to how things are going and sends lots of photos as well. Lindsey also went above and beyond to assure the house was in order before we arrived home. We highly recommend her will be asking her to help us out in the future.
