“Morgan was great! This was my first time using Rover for my 2 girls and I am so pleased. I had such peace of mind knowing they were under Morgan's care. Her love for animals is evident from her bio and communication with me. She was thorough in her care and made sure she accommodated all of my girls' needs.”

7. Georgia M.
“Georgia is remarkably responsible and an avid animal lover. In the years that I have known Georgia, a primary topic of conversation has been her love for her pets. She regularly takes her dogs for long walks and is passionate about spending time with them. Georgia has put other considerations on hold when her pets require something. Georgia is the type of pet owner that pets have to love because Georgia puts her pets above pretty much everything else. In short, Georgia loves animals and is very focused on caring for them.”

About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life. In addition to having my own dog, I have been entrusted with walking dogs from my home neighborhood and occasionally sitting. I have experience with puppies and kittens, elder animals, and dogs of all shapes and sizes! Your pet will have lots of fun and will be photographed heavily if left in my care. I love animals and can’t wait to meet yours! 🐾 Other than cats and dogs, I’d be willing to learn any other pet care. I have some experience with fish but am open to friends of all species. Currently on summer break, so I’m available all day for all the pet potty breaks or visits that are needed of me throughout our time together. Responsibility is a very integral aspect of my sitting process. I am hyper vigilant with the safety of pets, so your fur baby will come first and remain in their familiar enviroment!


9. Stephanie H.

“Stephanie was awesome! Pru was a fan of her right away. We had Stephanie stop in twice today to let Pru out to do her business. Stephanie stayed and played with Pru each time to give her a break from her crate. You could not tell that anyone stopped by as everything was where we left it. Our puppy was happy and not at all upset about our the extended time that we were away. We look forward to booking Stephanie the next time we are away and Pru will be excited to see her again as well.”


10. Joanna M.

“Joanna was a wonderful sitter and a warn person! We were very comfortable and at ease from the moment we met her. We rarely leave our dogs to anyone, even family, but we knew they were in good hands with Joanna. I’d highly recommend her, she is a mature, caring and responsible person. We were visiting from out of town, but would definitely use her again if the opportunity came about!”


11. Bridie Anne M.

12. Giana E.

19. Amber A.
About: I have always had a love for animals. I had dogs growing up, and now have a cat, Nick. I began volunteering for the Beacon Animal Shelter about 9 months ago. It has absolutely changed my life in the BEST way! I promise to go above and beyond and love your fur babies just as much as you do, if not more! I work full time as a Records Clerk, and part time as a 911 dispatcher. I am available all days of the week, but I am pretty flexible. I have 2 children who share my love for animals, and I know they would be thrilled to assist me in loving and caring for your pets. My cat, Nick is getting older, so we have to take special care in making sure his food is soft enough for him to chew. As I had mentioned, I volunteer at Beacon Animal Shelter where I give those fur babies as much time and love as I can. It brings me absolute JOY to see an animal happy and thriving! I will listen to you regarding your animals needs and follow your instructions to the letter. I understand the importance of making sure an animal is still well taken care of even when their humans are not home.


20. Gina D.
About: My family has always adopted pets, I've had three dogs in our lives (at different times), and currently we have a black lab and two cats. I am used to all kinds of pets, with my extended family having many breeds of dogs from boston terrier to german shepherd. I also have cared for cats outside my home, in animal shelter settings for the last few years, so I am comfortable with all temperaments! I'm currently employed part-time, which will be mostly a weekend gig until the end of June. So, before June, I've got a lot of time available, and I'm comfortable being flexible or fitting to your hours and needs. I have two cats and a black lab at home, so my work would have to be outside my home. I'm able to drive to you to watch your pets at home or take them out--whatever's needed! I am knowledgeable about warming up to pets, and want to maintain safety and meet your needs!
