“Abagail was amazing!! She checked in on our 3 pets and sent update pictures each time. We have an older, grumpy chihuahua and she was very patient with him. All the pets were comfortable with her from the start. We will definitely be using her again.”


About: I’ve taken care of my grandmothers pets for about 2 years now. Pets are a huge part of my life and I love taking care of my animals and hope to help others. I’m currently working a part time job at a fast food restaurant. My schedule varies week to week. With all my studies done for the summer I have more time to care for pets and animals. I have a fenced yard and one Great Pyrenees to keep your company pet friendly company. So much yard space to encourage your dogs zoomies :)
“Mariah took excellent care of our two dogs while we were away over the weekend. She is very punctual with drop in visits and sent plenty of pictures! I will definitely recommend her for any of your pets needs :)”

“Tim is amazing! I have 3 emotionally high maintenance dogs that wary of strangers & uncomfortable with big change. Tim had them completely won over in a very short period of time! We just returned home & I think they were disappointed it was us & not him! He’s professional & reliable. We will definitely use him again!”


About: I've had dogs ever since I was a kid. Now I have my own dog that I am training to be a service dog and it is going very well. I have also helped train other dogs too. I also regularly go-to animal shelters and spend time with dogs still trying to find a home and help socialize them. I work part time at the Zoo so sometimes I am working a full day. I take my dog to daycare at least once a week to help him socialize and get out more since he is the only dog I have. I do have a lot of exotic animals plus my ferrets that I take care of daily before bed. Especially with the ferrets I make sure they get out and play enough. Your dog will always be supervised indoors and outdoors. I am confident in handling any situation that might happen even if it's navigating helping a nervous or stressed animal.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to care for pets at every stage of life. I’m experienced with training puppies using patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I also have strong senior-care skills, including helping with mobility support, administering medications, and keeping a calm, comfortable routine. I treat every pet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I plan my schedule around the pets I’m responsible for. I set aside dedicated times each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure each pet gets consistent attention. I’m very routine-oriented, so it’s easy for me to stay on top of medication schedules, training sessions, and any special needs. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine exactly—feeding schedules, medication needs, potty breaks, and playtime. I pay close attention to behavior, keep their space tidy, and make sure they always have fresh water. Whether I’m in my home or the client’s, I prioritize safety, supervision, and consistency so pets feel relaxed and well cared for.
“We were a little nervous at first with booking drop-in visits through Rover because we have only ever had our dogs taken care of by close friends and family while we were away. From our initial meet and greet, our 70 pound dogs (a senior Lab mix and a 3 year old extremely hyper Doberman) immediately took a liking to Samantha. She gave us such a wonderful first experience with drop-in visits that we now have the peace of mind from having someone that we could depend on and trust with our fur-babies. She was very punctual with our scheduled drop-ins to feed and water them. She also provided a whole lot of love, attention, and playtime. We received updates and entertaining pictures for the visits so we did not have to worry about anything and we knew they were in great hands.”

“Linda took such good care of our puppy while we were on vacation! She gave our dog a lot of love and attention and sent us photos and videos so we could see he was having a great time with her. It was so easy to relax while we knew our puppy was in good hands! We definitely recommend her and would have her watch our puppy again any time. ☺️”

About: I have taken care of my moms 6 dogs growing up that were 5 chihuahuas and a terrier mix and I know have 2 of my own babies a chihuahua and a cattle dog mix! I love dogs I have to take care of my own dogs so I know how to handle and make sure they are treated w respect! My whole life is my dogs I have 2 dogs that love to play and just make friends I live in an apartment but I would not mind going on walks bc it’s good excerise or go to the dog park the
“Super friendly! I know my dog Ember was absolutely spoiled while I was away. I’d definitely ask Ysla to come help with Em again! (Also she took the best photos!)”


About: I provide trusted, in home dog sitting services in a calm cozy environment! I am experienced in administering insulin shots and other basic needs required! I am a stay at home mom and love dogs!! I enjoy their company and treat them as my own with undivided attention! Dog sitting is my job and I love it!! I have a fenced 2 acre yard for lots of playtime, 1 dog of my own, she’s socialized and sweet! Your fur babies are allowed to roam wherever they please!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I’ve had my own dog for 5 years now and there aren’t many days we don’t go on our daily walk. While living abroad, I also helped walk and dog sit for my neighbor whenever she was away. I treat every pup like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, care, and attention. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight care throughout the week. I love spending time outdoors and with dogs, so I make pet care a regular part of my day. As my schedule changes down the road, I’ll be sure to keep my availability up to date so you always know when I’m open for bookings. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to respect your space and keep things just the way you like them. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime, I stick to your pet’s normal schedule and give them plenty of attention and care while you’re away.
“We had a wonderful experience with Sophia! She came twice a day to check on our dog, Loki, and was always punctual, attentive, and communicative. Loki is usually very timid around new people, but he warmed up to her almost immediately, which speaks volumes about how caring and trustworthy she is. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her for daily check-ins, pet sitting, or any pet care needs!”

“Kaylee was phenomenal! It was a last minute booking but she jumped right in. She was able to meet the boys the day before and they absolutely adored her. She was very communicative, polite, and respectful. She always reached out if she had any questions and responded fast if we needed to get ahold of her. 10/10 recommend!”

“Robyn took care of my two indoor kitties while I was gone for a week she did a great job of what I asked her to do while I was gone and you could tell she respected my house and cats as the way I do and you could tell my cats were very happy being in their own house and not at a boarding place she sent me a text and pictures on a daily basis how things were going which was very comforting to me to see my cats happy I would recommend Robyn to anyone who would like to have a caring person take care of their animals Kevin in Charlotte Texas”
About: Hi neighbors! When I’m not in the classroom, I’m hanging out with my 6-year-old Chihuahua and enjoying the outdoors.

The "Safety Check" Protocol: Upon arrival, I do a quick sweep of the "danger zones" (ensuring trash cans are closed, loose items are off the floor, and gates are secure). Routine Consistency: I stick strictly to your pet’s schedule. Whether it's the exact time for a pill or the specific way they like their ears scratched, I maintain their "home-school" routine to minimize anxiety.

Property Respect: As a professional, I leave your home exactly as I found it—well-guarded and tidy.
