“KiAnna was willing to arrive by 6:45 AM so we could depart by 7:15 AM. She took great care of Chester and we will be asking her to house sit and take care of Chester again!”
“Jessica was great when taking care of Tucker! She communicated the entire stay and kept me updated with lots of pictures of him playing and happy! I will definitely be booking again with her!”
“Once again Carol helped us out with Cody and we couldn’t be happier! She is even sharing a few resources to help Cody with her separation anxiety. Carol goes above and beyond!”
About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I have lots of experience feeding, walking, and taking care of them! I also have experience with senior animals! Mostly available evenings and weekends. I will work with you to schedule times that work for you and your animals. I will be as flexible as possible! For dogs, I can walk, feed, play with them, and give them medicine if needed. For cats, I can play, feed, change litter boxes, and make sure they are happy!
About: I’ve taken care of many pets over the years. I’ve done both drop-ins for walking and feeding, as well as house sitting to provide enrichment and company. Every animal that I’ve met has liked me, even if their owner says they’re normally shy around new people, which I take as the highest compliment. I’ve administered medication, and the safety and wellbeing of the pet is my top priority. I respect any boundaries that the animal displays, whether it’s distance or petting, and I make sure to ask for any special routines or needs up front to make sure I can take care of them to the best of my ability. I work full time during the week while also being a full time online student, but I’m available to stop in before 8:45am and after 6:30pm. Weekends are usually open for drop-ins or house sitting. If there are any baby gates or areas restricted to the pets, I make sure to keep an eye on that. I wipe paws after being outside to keep the house clean, and if your pet needs company while they eat, I’ll absolutely sit with them.
“Best house sitter we have ever had! Samantha goes above and beyond; she communicates via text and pics everyday, takes care of our home, and cleans up after herself. It’s great coming home to a clean house and happy pet. Thanks Samantha!”
“We had Chris come do an in-home stay for the first time with our reactive pitbull and he crushed it! Reactive dogs are not the easiest to find sitters for and Chris was very accommodating with setting up a meet and great before hand and had even done his own research ahead of time to make sure he was knowledgeable before going through the introduction process. Our dog warmed up to him right away and she was able to immediately identify him as a safe person since he was so calm and easy going with her. When it came time for him to stay, all that was needed was a quick reminder and they were best buds for the rest of the weekend. He quickly learns her quirks. He sent daily pictures and updates. Then when we returned, our mail was stacked on the counter and the house was very neat, just as we left it, which is always appreciated when someone stays in your home. During the introduction stage he even requested to be shown where our cleaning supplies were and when our trash gets taken out. Chris was not only an excellent dog sitter, but a great house sitter as well! We are frequent travelers and will definitely be continuing to use Chris.”
“Mary is wonderful! I last minute went into Rover when my usuals were not available. She responded right away and we connected for a meet and greet right away. She sent lots of pics and videos and kept me up to date with everything. Highly recommend💗”
“Ruth took excellent care of our two dogs while we were out of town. She kept us up to date with texts and messages which I really appreciate! She even taught our younger dog a new trick! Will definitely book again and highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had a dog and 3 cats growing up. I am constantly around dogs and they all love me. My friends and neighbors have trusted to watch their animals when they are away. I just graduated college and looking for a fun job for over the summer! I have lots of free time so I am available to help with your animals whenever you need! I have one cat at home but he’s not the biggest fan of new animals. I love playing with animals and making sure they use most of the energy.
“Absolutely amazing! I was worried leaving my girls at first but they were in great hands and very happy! She sent great updates and my pups were sad to see her go. Will 100% be hiring her again!”
“Rachael provided Winnie with excellent care and companionship while we were away for a few days. Winnie cannot wait to have Rachael stay with him again here at home sometime soon!”
“Jess was very caring and enjoyed being with Lark. She did what was asked of her and that we were very appreciative of. Our pup can be a little stubborn, so we're always thankful for other people's patience with him. I can tell she really cares for animals in general.”
“Had a fantastic experience hiring Rebecca to housesit for Miles. She took the time to do a meet and greet and get acquainted with him and learn all about his needs prior to her stay with him, so I knew he would be in good hands. During her stay, I received frequent photo updates where it was very evident that he was extremely happy and comfortable with her and acting like his usual self! She even stayed a little later than planned to make sure he wouldn’t be alone before I could get back home. I would not hesitate to recommend her and to rebook for myself!”
“Annie was awesome!! She took great care of our golden, he had his own vacation while we were gone. Annie kept us up to date and sent some great pictures. She is a natural and our dog absolutely loves her!”
“Shannon always goes above and beyond with our pups. She keeps us updated with frequent photos and messages, and really goes the extra mile to make sure they are well taken care of. She stayed at our house for a week with them, and really put us at ease while we were away. We love (and the pups love!) having Shannon watch them!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of family pets, cats and dogs, for years. I am a pet lover and can care for all pets from kittens to elderly. I work full-time but I can come before and after work and give your pets my all. I can also com on weekends for quick or extended visits. I am a great list follower. Let me know your pets schedule and I can absolutely adhere to it. I can also bathe your pets.

Jessica was really great with our boys! They’re new to us and we didn’t know what to expect with a sitter but needed to attend a memorial today with short notice and reached out to Jessica just a couple days ago. Not only did she make herself available on short notice, she also made sure she could come by earlier today with her kids to see how everyone would interact. This was really helpful to familiarize everyone in advance and a big help to us to see how well our boys got along with “human puppies” - worked out so great! While we were gone, Jessica sent a bunch of FANTASTIC pics to keep us informed. Being new to our dogs and this being the first time we hired at home sitters for them, I think Jessica and I learned a few things simple we can do to clarify communication with each other in advance which went really well considering we had so little time to prepare! Would definitely welcome Jessica and the kids back again - our boys really loved them and enjoyed their time together - and they were happily exhausted when we got home still sleeping some 4 hours later! Thanks Jessica!
Malena was a top notch pet sitter while we were out of the country! We were very nervous as we have older animals but it was clear that she spent lots of time with them, she was a great communicator and I felt so comfortable having them in her care - Thank you Malena!!!
Jordyn is INCREDIBLE! She is so sweet and kind loving. Took my little puppy on nonstop adventures and he had the best day and night with her. He was sad when she left even! Is very responsible and has a great connection with dogs. Will be using her long term bc she’s excellent!
