“Wade is very interested in learning about the training techniques my dogs are familiar with. He followed behavior management measures like distance and reward based training to help my somewhat difficult dog remain calm. He showed dedication to his charges by taking the dogs out in the pouring rain without hesitation. The dogs are used to the rain.”


“Allie provides excellent care and attention to our cat during her visits. She provides expert documentation via the report cards, which gives me much peace of mind. I book with Allie time after time for while we are away. I know my very particular (11 year old) Siamese is in expert hands.”


“We chose Brittney being that she is local, and also had some great reviews! I have no problem leaving another 5 star review. From our first “meet and greet” Brittney has been awesome! Very easy to work with, easy going and accommodating. Has a great work ethic and takes great care of our pup Leia, (Princess) from feeding, to walking and just spending time with her socializing.”


“Gretchen is the absolute best! My cats are so well taken care of and I never have to worry about them. I would recommend Gretchen wholeheartedly!”



“Rebecca is the best dog sitter I have ever booked !!! So kind and took such great care of my Moosie :) 10/10 will recommend and definitely will book her again!”


“Alyssa went above and beyond! Our dogs love her!”


“Lauren did an excellent job at taking care of my 2 dachshunds while I was at work. My female is very shy and apprehensive. Some dog walkers in the have not been able to get her to go outside. Lauren had no problem. My male was born blind and deaf. He also has many health problems. She had no issues taking care of an elderly sick dog. I would recommend trusting your fur babies with her and I’ll certainly be using her again!”


“Christina did a great job checking in on my 2 elderly dogs. I look forward to having her stop by more frequently!”


“This was my first time using rover and a dog walker and I’m so glad I decided to give it a try! My pups loved Scott from their initial meet and greet, which was a shocker since they usually give new people in the house a hard time. Scott was on time, sent me photos and updates on their behavior through the website and my pups seemed so happy! I am so thrilled we connected with Scott and I hope he’ll be available if I need help again in the future!”


“Margherita is awesome. She is very kind and seems to very care for our dog Otis!! She is a great communicator and provides fun updates and pictures about her visit. She also took initiative to help train and work with our dog to work on his leash behavior! 10/10 would recommend.”


“Thank you Emma! As always, a pleasure having you watch and care for our kitties.”


“I felt very comfortable having Terri do drop in visits to care for my cat. She checked in and gave updates with pictures each drop-in. My cat needed special care with antibiotics, which Terri could do no problem. My shy cat even let Terri pet her eventually, so I know my cats felt comfortable too. Thanks Terri!”


“Sam had been an INCREDIBLE dogstitter for our boy! She consistently goes above and beyond and has treated our elderly German Shepard with the utmost respect and care! She is prompt, flexible and understanding/accommodating. Your pet will be in the best hands with Sam!”


“Theresa did an excellent job with our house visit (which involved two 35lb puppies!) She had no trouble following my directions and everything looks to have gone perfectly. I will definitely book again for future pet needs!”


About: Since I was young I have always been drawn to caretaking of animals, and so whenever a neighbor or friend went away I did the pet sitting in their homes! I am also currently studying conservation and wildlife management in university, and will be taking a multitude of caretaking classes that will help me take care of your animals as well. I currently have availability all throughout the week, and will be able to drop by to take care of your pets whenever their normal routine calls for. If any unplanned events occur I will communicate ASAP with clients. When I care for pets in their homes, I prioritize the wellbeing of the animal, including comfort and routine. I will follow their day-to-day feeding and exercise schedules while also giving the animals some love! I will also keep owners up to date with pictures, and will reach out with updates if needed!

“Kristine was everything we were hoping for with a pet sitter. We recommend her highly for anyone looking for somehow who will care for your loved companions when you can't be home. She took our dog boys for walks after feeding them, played a bit with them, and gave them love. For our cat boy, she gave him scritches and made sure he came back inside before she left in the evening -- after the all important food and treats.”


“Sarah is fantastic! She came to our house and played with our dog, Natalie, while we were gone for the day. We received an update and photos at the end of the visit, which we really appreciated. Thank you, Sarah! Natalie can’t wait to see you again :)”


About: I’ve had dogs all my life. All types of dogs. I treat care of my friends and family’s dogs if needed they left for vacation. Starting September 3 I go back to community college. On Monday's and Wednesdays after 4 I am available. Tuesday and Thursdays after 12 I am available. I would take the dog(s) for a walk. I love walks. Give them treats if allowed. Feed them, bathe them if needed. Give them my love.

About: Caring for people and animals is my passion. I work part time at a hospital and volunteer with rescue dogs. I like helping any way I can. I will care for your pet to the best of my abilities and ensure the get the attention they need when you are unable to be there. I have dog sat/dog walked and cat sat a variety of different breeds for years. I am open to most any animal and have a flexible schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and getting them outside and active in fresh air! If needed I have references I can give to better confirm that I am experienced and trustworthy. I am open to helping out anyway that I can! I look forward to working with you!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and now have a dog of my own! I’ve also done dog sitting for neighbors and family members growing up and I always treat the pup as if they’re my own. I’m pretty open on the weekends! My mornings are pretty flexible for drop ins and my afternoons are also open for doggy daycare at my apartment. I always make sure to have my eyes on them to ensure they aren’t getting into anything they’re not supposed to and I always carefully follow any instructions that the client provides, as I know it can vary depending on the dog or cat.
